The Dental Wealth Nation Show is for practice owners building toward—or navigating through—the most consequential financial event of their career: the exit.
Host Tim McNeely operates a Virtual Family Office serving dental entrepreneurs with $5M–$25M in net worth. He holds the rare combination of CFP®, CIMA®, CEPA®, and CPFA® designations—a credential stack bridging comprehensive wealth management with specialized exit planning. His clients don't need another advisor. They need a financial quarterback coordinating the advisors they already have.
Each episode unpacks the coordination failures that cost practice owners millions: mistimed exits, fragmented tax strategies, wealth structures that don't survive the transition from practice income to portfolio income. You'll hear direct conversations with elite tax counsel, M&A specialists, and practice owners who've already made the crossing.
