Most dental owners measure production, not cash. Insurance A/R ages 60 to 90 days, claim denials sit unworked, and the practice has no forward-looking view of whether the next payroll clears. Reported profit looks healthy while cash quietly tightens because the lag between production, collections, and disbursements is never modeled.
A 13-month rolling cash flow forecast built from production, collections, and disbursement timing
A weekly collections dashboard tracking production-to-collection rate, A/R aging, and denial status
A monthly close rhythm delivering real numbers within days, not weeks
A working capital dashboard showing trapped cash in A/R, inventory, and prepaid expenses
A decision framework for owner draws, equipment, and expansion timed to forecasted free cash flow
A buyer or lender scrutinizes collections before production. Clean, forecastable cash flow with a documented collections workflow is the first evidence a DSO or consolidator looks for that the practice is not running on owner timing. Cash predictability directly defends the EBITDA number the multiple is applied to.

Because production is booked before it is collected. The gap between what you produce and what hits the bank, driven by insurance A/R and denial lag, is where the cash goes. We forecast that gap so you can see it before the month ends.
Buyers pay a multiple on normalized EBITDA, and normalized EBITDA is only credible when the cash backing it is predictable. Forecastable, defensible collections support a higher and more durable multiple than production that cannot be traced to cash.
No. We build the forecast and dashboard layer on top of your practice management system. We tell you what to change in the collections workflow; we do not run your billing.
