As a dentist, having your finances in order should be one of your top priorities. Running a successful dentistry practice, much like any other business, has a lot to do with keeping your accounts balanced and adequately managed. For this reason, handling the financial books of the company is an essential duty that should not be overlooked. Although there are several accountants out there, choosing a “general” accountant may not be the best option for your dental practice, especially if you are running an associate practice.
