Who we help
Financial planning for dentists preparing to sell
A sale you plan for years in advance looks very different from one you scramble to close. We help you get the practice — and yourself — ready so you can sell on your terms.
Owners a few years from a sale who want to maximize value and minimize surprises.
Decisions at this stage
- What the practice is worth and what drives that value
- How to improve sale readiness in the years before a deal
- How to evaluate buyers and deal structures
- How to plan for the tax impact of a sale
- How sale proceeds convert into retirement income
- Whether to sell fully, associate back, or reduce clinical time
Common blind spots
- Starting the process without knowing the number you need
- Ignoring the tax difference between deal structures
- No plan for what proceeds must do for the next 30 years
- Emotional decisions under deal-timeline pressure

We help you understand the drivers of practice value and where preparation could improve your outcome, coordinating with a credentialed valuation professional when a formal opinion is needed.
Deal and tax evaluation
We analyze how different structures and buyers translate into after-tax proceeds and coordinate with your CPA and attorney on execution.
From proceeds to income
We build the plan that turns a one-time sale into durable, tax-aware retirement income you won’t outlive.

Frequently asked questions
Two to five years gives you room to improve value, plan taxes, and align the sale with your retirement income needs. Earlier is better, but it is rarely too late to benefit.
No. We are not practice brokers or listing agents — we don’t market your practice or find buyers. Once you have a buyer or successor in mind, we handle the financial side: evaluating the deal, coordinating taxes with your CPA and attorney, and turning the proceeds into income. Brokerage and legal negotiation are handled by the appropriate licensed professionals.
Your practice should support your life — not control it.
Build a coordinated financial strategy designed around your practice, your family, and the freedom you want your work to create.
