DENTAL-EXCLUSIVE CFO ADVISORY
Your Practice Can Produce More and Still Leave You With Less Than You Expected.
The P.R.E.C.I.S.E. Profit System™ is a 12-month CFO Advisory engagement for established dental practice owners who want to turn strong production into stronger cash flow, healthier profitability, better owner decisions, and greater choice.
The Financial Pressure Usually Shows Up in Small Decisions First.
Payroll rises, but you are not sure how much more the practice can safely absorb.
The schedule stays full, yet margins are getting thinner.
Bullet Supplies, lab costs, and overhead creep up and you do not know which number deserves attention first.
Your CPA says the practice is profitable, but the cash in the bank does not feel like the profit on the report.
A new piece of equipment, associate, location, or acquisition looks attractive — but you cannot see the decision clearly enough to commit.
You want to work fewer clinical days, but you do not know what happens to cash flow and owner pay if you do.
When every decision is made from a different spreadsheet, benchmark, bank balance, or opinion, even a
successful practice can feel financially harder to run than it should.
The Number Is a Symptom. Start With the Diagnosis.
More production does not automatically fix cash flow. A lower overhead percentage does not automatically
mean the practice is healthy. And last month’s financial statements cannot make next quarter’s decision for you.
The useful question is: What is happening inside this practice that is producing this financial result — and
what should the owner do next?
That is the role of CFO-level advisory
The Financial Questions Behind the Practice
Cash flow: Where is the money going, and what is creating pressure?
Profitability: What is the practice actually keeping after the work is produced and collected?
Owner compensation: What can the practice safely support, and how should owner pay be planned rather than discovered at month-end?
Overhead and team compensation: Which costs are materially affecting the business, and what decisions can the practice afford?
Production and collections: Where is value being lost between work performed, money collected, and cash available?
Forecasting: What is likely to happen next if the current numbers and decisions continue?
Major decisions: What do the numbers say about fees, PPO participation, equipment, hiring, expansion,
acquisitions, or reducing the owner’s clinical time?
Decision-ready KPIs: Which numbers deserve the owner’s attention so the practice can adjust earlier rather than react later?
These are advisory focus areas. Do not add guaranteed outcomes, invented timelines, or unverified deliverables
Diagnose Before You Prescribe.
In dentistry, you would not recommend treatment because one number looked wrong. You would examine
the patient, gather the right information, make a diagnosis, build the treatment plan, and then measure the result.
Financial decisions deserve the same discipline.
Step 1 — Diagnose
Identify the financial symptoms, the operational drivers behind them, and the decisions creating the result.
Step 2 — Decide:
Determine what matters most, what the practice can safely support, and what needs to change
Step 3 — Measure:
Watch the right financial and operational signals so decisions can be adjusted before the owner is forced to react.
A Better-Performing Practice Should Give You More Choices.
The point is not to obsess over numbers. It is to know enough about the numbers to make better choices —
how much to pay yourself, what the practice can afford, when to invest, when to wait, whether to change course, and how dependent the business needs to remain on your own clinical production.
A healthy practice should support the owner’s life, not consume it.
Meet Anthony Pedicino
Dental Ownership Experience Changes the Conversation.
Dr. Anthony Pedicino spent 31 years as a dentist and independent practice owner. He now brings that lived
ownership experience to CFO Advisory for dental practice owners. He works alongside the practice CPA rather than
replacing them, connecting the financial and operational activity inside the practice to the decisions the owner needs
to make next.
