Working with your CPA to identify areas to target and setting clear annual goals is critical to driving sustainable growth.<\/p><p>Whether it\u2019s increasing collections, lowering payroll, or curbing overhead, being in lockstep with your CPA on the key performance indicators (KPI) specific to your practice keeps all parties aware of\u2014and accountable for\u2014reaching those targets.<\/p><p>\u201cSetting clear goals is the first step in empowering your business to reach them,\u201d says Eric. \u201cA good accountant will keep business owners honest by beating that drum all year long.\u201d<\/p><p>In addition to a meeting at the beginning of the year to review prior year financials and set targets for the current year, Eric meets with clients for a tax planning meeting around August-October to ensure the practice is on track toward achieving its goals.<\/p><p>\u201cThe Q3 meeting is critical as we explore ways to improve our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cainwatters.com\/digitalblogs\/2024-year-end-tax-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">tax situation<\/span><\/a>,\u201d says Eric. \u201cWe also review our goals and determine what adjustments we can make in these last three to four months to get there.\u201d<\/p><h5><strong>TRANSLATING ACCOUNTING INTO ACTION<\/strong><\/h5><p>According to Eric, the last piece of the puzzle is education\u2014arming practice owners with the knowledge to translate their financials into actionable insights. This is where Eric believes a good CPA can turn into a great business partner.<\/p><p>\u201cEvery metric tells a story. Helping business owners learn to make decisions based on what those numbers are saying is what we do here at CWA,\u201d says Eric.<\/p><p>For example, it\u2019s always a good idea to monitor overhead. But understanding why it\u2019s trending up or down is where a doctor turns into a businessperson. Did merchant fees increase? Is there a one-time travel expense? Did the office upgrade computers or software?<\/p><p>\u201cUnderstanding the nuances behind the numbers is key to deciding whether it\u2019s time to take action,\u201d says Eric.<\/p><p>Payroll is another metric that warrants deeper evaluation, as it requires a longer runway to make changes.<\/p><p>\u201cWhen labor costs creep up, the first impulse is to let someone go,\u201d says Eric. \u201cWhile that may be the right move eventually, it\u2019s always best to proceed strategically, evaluating trends and growth while also avoiding disruptions to business operations.\u201d<\/p><p>Eric adds that having a CPA service willing to provide that industry-specific advisory element can be a game changer.<\/p><p>\u201cPractice owners need a good accountant to provide timely and accurate financials, but a dental-specific tax advisor who understands the dental industry can educate and advise on those financial numbers plus help optimize taxes and minimize surprises,\u201d says Eric. \u201cHaving the tax and accounting all under one roof provides some major advantages to a practice owner.\u201d<\/p><p>To get a sneak peek at one of CWA\u2019s comprehensive reports, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.cainwatters.com\/l\/467721\/2025-02-06\/lb59g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">Monthly Performance Report<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f6e4de3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"2f6e4de3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4581125c blue-box ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"4581125c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-492b0689 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"492b0689\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cainwatters.com\/essential-cpa-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">Essential Advisory service<\/a> designed for doctors who just want the basics, or our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cainwatters.com\/business-planning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #33cccc;\">Proactive Planning program<\/a> that offers full professional and personal financial planning.
