Dr. Victoria Blower of Anchorage, Alaska says...
"By implementing Marilee's recommendations, I increased my net from 18 percent to 32 percent (a 75% increase!) in just one year. I wish I had done this ten years ago."

Use Strategic Budgeting To Turn Your Low Net Practice Into A High Net Machine

As consultants, we feel that if your 'true' net is less than 31% of your gross collected revenue, it's way too low. Look at it like this. If you net 18% on a gross of $500,000, that's $90,000, which is not bad. But if we can show you how to net 32% on that same gross, you would make $160,000 or $70,000 more! And, that's without seeing more patients or working any harder, just a lot smarter.

Believe it not, we do that with clients all the time. How? The very best way to improve a low net practice (anything under 31%) is to create a detailed budget to serve as the strategic guide for all the spending you do over the course of a year.

The 'Strategic Budgeting Service' is designed to analyze your Profit & Loss statement to determine where you are spending every penny in your practice. Then, working from how much you tell us you want to net, we create a written budget guaranteed to increase your annual profits, often by tens of thousands of dollars.

Here's what we do for you:
• Analyze your P&L
• Review your accounts receivable and inventory
• Identify overhead areas that are out of line
• Determine your optimum profit potential
• Help you establish reasonable expense goals
• Create a detailed written strategic budget custom designed for your practice
• Provide support and guidance through the implementation phase

Dr. Bob Turney of Crossville, Tennessee says...
"Because I have a degree in finance and accounting, I felt I held the tools for financial planning management in my own growing practice. However, after working with Dr. Jerry Hayes and Marilee Blackwell, I was introduced to many new concepts of practice enhancement and was able to add an additional optometrist without sustaining any financial loss from my own personal income. I highly recommend this wonderful team of financial advisors."
