Monday, November 2nd – Negotiating Complex Office Transactions: Empowering you to spend more time on patient care.
Protecting and improving the patient experience is the key to a thriving practice.

Wednesday, November 3rd – Before It’s Too Late: Tax Planning Opportunities in the Final Years Before Retirement
For many dentists, the 5-10 years leading up to retirement represent the last and best opportunity to make meaningful changes that can reduce lifetime taxes. This course will explore proactive planning strategies, including Roth conversions, Medicare IRMAA considerations, and tax-efficient withdrawal planning, designed to help you avoid common tax traps and keep more of your hard-earned wealth in retirement.
Thursday, November 5th – The Mid-Career Dentist’s Financial Checkup: Five questions to help you turn practice success into long-term financial progress
In this practical session, Laura Phillips, EA, Co-Founder & C.E.O. of The Phillips Group, will guide attendees through a five-part financial checkup covering practice profitability, cash flow, taxes, debt, and long-term planning. Using a sample practice owner, she will show how these pieces connect and how to identify the next decision that could have the greatest impact. Attendees will leave with a simple framework they can use to review their own finances and start a more productive conversation with their financial and tax advisers.
