Why do I need financial controls in my dental practice?
Because in a busy practice money walks out the door more easily than you want to believe, and you usually find out far too late. The fix is a written set of financial controls, real checks and balances across every place cash and billing move through the office. Think of it like a hygiene recall system. You don’t trust your memory to catch a missing six month patient, you build a system that catches it for you. Money is no different. When there’s no control and funds quietly disappear, it isn’t an abstract loss, it hits everyone’s salary and bonuses directly. Put the controls in writing, assign who reconciles what, and make no single person the only set of eyes on the money. It protects the practice and, frankly, it protects your good people from suspicion too.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
