This practice financial accountability training will give you the tools and processes needed to facilitate a monthly financial meeting showing that all three software systems reconcile (your practice management software, QuickBooks and the bank system). This system will ensure your patient accounts are correct and that all receivables are accounted for. It’s also our best tool to prevent or catch embezzlement. In addition, we will create a road map of overhead expenditures and projected income, which shows you the exact costs to operate your practice each month, and, of course, your projected cash flow.
