Presentation: Numbers Don't Lie!  Understanding the Numbers for Practice Sellers and Buyers

Learning Objectives:

  • You will have a better understanding of EBIDTA
  • Production reports – how to read these and the underlying causes of mismanagement
  • Staffing costs – how many is the right number of staff so you’re not draining the bank, but collecting revenue
  • How much of a practice transition is negotiable?
