Practice ownership

The practice. And your life.

A buy-in, a distribution or an exit reaches beyond the business. Keep your personal plan in the conversation.

Where the practice meets your plan.

Distributions in context

Size and time distributions against your tax bracket and household cash flow.

Buy-in financing

How you fund a buy-in shapes your debt, liquidity and savings for years.

One balance sheet

For many owners the practice is the largest asset. Your investment and estate plans should account for it.

Decisions we help you prepare for.

Worked through with your CPA, attorney and valuation specialists.

Entity structure

LLC, S corporation, professional corporation or partnership. Weigh tax, liability and flexibility with your CPA and attorney.

Buy-in and buy-out terms

Price, payment schedule, timing and equity are often negotiable. Model the personal impact before you sign.

Practice valuation

Revenue mix, payer contracts, productivity, equipment, real estate and goodwill all affect value. Work from an independent valuation.

Compensation models

Productivity-based, equal split or a hybrid. The model shapes incentives, retention and taxes.

Overhead

Staffing, rent, supplies, technology and insurance. See where spending supports the practice and where it does not.

Transitions

A new partner, a merger, a sale or retirement. Starting years ahead keeps more of the timing in your hands.

Common questions.

What should I bring to a first conversation?
Partnership and buy-sell agreements, loan terms and guarantees, and your compensation and distribution policies. Note what is final and what is still being negotiated. An initial inquiry does not need patient information, employee records or account credentials.
How do you work with my CPA and attorney?
Personal financial planning connects these decisions. It does not replace a business valuation, legal opinion, tax return or payroll service. Agree on each person’s role, including our advisory scope, before work begins.
When should we start?
Before the decision is final: ahead of a buy-in, a change in compensation or an exit, while there is still time to compare options.
