What Your Bookkeeper Isn't Telling You

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Your practice collected $1.2 million this year. So why is the checking account lower than it was three months ago?

If your books look busy but your bank balance doesn't, you are not bad with money, you were simply never taught to read the four reports that run a practice. Every month a file lands on your desk with your practice's name at the top, a few pages of numbers, and no translation. So it goes unread. Meanwhile a practice can look successful and quietly leak cash for years.

This book closes that gap without turning you into an accountant. In plain English, you'll finally understand:

- The income statement (P&L) - where the money really comes from and where it goes- The balance sheet - what you own, what you owe, and why your equity can shrink in a profitable year- Cash flow - the reason "profit on paper" is not money in the bank- The six numbers that actually tell you whether the practice is healthy- The red flags that mean call your CPA this week - not next quarter

Every chapter walks through one real report, line by line, using a single recurring case practice so the lessons stick. You'll spot exactly where money leaks, get the accountant's jargon translated into human language, and finish each chapter with one or two concrete Monday morning actions.

Who this is for: physician owners, dentists, and healthcare practice owners who sign the reports but were never taught to read them and anyone who wants financial control without a finance degree.

Why it's different: no theory, no spreadsheets to build from scratch. Just the reports you already receive, explained clearly, plus blank worksheets, a glossary, a "Call Your CPA" trigger list, and a 15 minute monthly routine you can run between patients.

Stop filing reports you can't read. Open this book to the chapter that matches the statement on your desk - and start reading your practice's numbers today.
