Best practices accounting needed for dental industry
With total annual revenue of $125 billion in 2014, U.S. dental practices are on a revenue level with AT&T, Hewlett-Packard, and other similar companies. But for all this revenue, too often best accounting practices are missing. Consultant Thomas Climo, PhD, writes that better financial reporting ultimately leads to better practice valuation when it comes time to sell your practice.

The valuation of trust: Part 1
As consultant Thomas Climo, PhD, writes, trust is an overarching topic that is too often not discussed. Why should a seller trust a buyer's agent, and why should a buyer trust a seller's broker? Until you answer this, the entire process of buying and selling dental practices may well be founded on miscommunication.
