Building the right financial team is critical for dental practice exit planning and maximizing enterprise value. In this episode, Tim McNeely sits down with Laura Phillips to break down exactly which professionals you need, how to evaluate them, and why their roles matter to your bottom line.
Who Belongs on Your Financial Team:
- CPA or tax strategist focused on dental practice structures
- Wealth advisor experienced with 8-figure dental entrepreneurs
- Practice management consultant for operational optimization
- Legal counsel specializing in practice exits and entity transitions
How to Align Your Team Around Practice Value:
Your financial team isn't just about compliance—it's about coordinating strategy across tax, accounting, legal, and wealth planning to eliminate gaps. Laura Phillips shares how dental owners typically waste time and money by working with disconnected advisors, and how LifeStone coordinates these relationships to protect and grow your practice value before transition.
What to Expect From Your Financial Advisor:
- Proactive EBITDA improvement recommendations
- Tax-efficient entity structuring aligned with your exit timeline
- Wealth transition planning beyond the practice sale
- Regular accountability and performance metrics
Whether you're five years from exit or exploring DSO partnership opportunities, having advisors who understand dental practice economics—not just generic financial advice—saves you six figures and significantly reduces transition stress.
