This week, the Dental Amigos welcome David J. Goodman, CPA, a partner and Dental Practice Solutions Team Leader at PFK O’Connor Davies Advisory, LLC. David has over 35 years of experience working with a client base of individuals and closely held businesses. Before joining the PKFOD, David was Managing Director of LB Goodman. He is a member of the Academy of Dental CPAs and the Practice Valuation Study Group. He is a licensed CPA in New Jersey, New York and Florida, and a frequent contributor to Dental Economics magazine on practice and financial management. In this episode, David discusses the dental industry trends he observed in the last year. He highlights an overall increase in labor costs, but also the benefits for practice owners who invest in long-term employee retention and staff morale. David then discusses the different financial planning strategies that he recommends for independent dentists with one or two practice locations versus those that he recommends for his clients who run complex multi-location practices. Each year, David Goodman and his team synthesize their dental industry data in their Dental Practices by the Numbers report, which you can download here for more high-level analysis of dental industry financial trends.
