What our clients say

My husband and I recently purchased our second practice with PracticeCFO’s help. When we bought our first, we did not do enough ‘due diligence’ and ended up quite surprised after the transition.

For the second office we worked with Greg Maravilla at PracticeCFO. He helped us evaluate multiple practices and did the final thorough evaluation of the practice we ended up buying. Deb Eatros conducted a thorough review of the charts. She gave us a full breakdown of what we were getting into and helped us work around some issues.

We are very thankful to the team at practice CFO for their knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for help purchasing a practice!

There are too many good things to say about Wes and his team at PracticeCFO. As a new dentist entering into the real world of running a practice, they have gone above and beyond to help guide me and teach me. They made my buy-in smooth, and continue to help keep us running efficiently. The personal financial planning runs hand-in-hand, and they help make everything flow easily from my practice to my personal life and future.

As a dentist and business owner, I know what I’m good at and passionate about, and I know what I’m not so passionate about. I want to focus on doing dentistry and to do that I know I need a team of people around me to make sure all is good. PracticeCFO is as good as it gets.
