The Latest Word on Practice Overhead:<\/p>\n
KDV* has just released its bi-annual general practice overhead survey. It\u2019s a sample of 70+ full-time, mature practices. As such, it\u2019s the best and most detailed information of its kind available for our area. Some highlights:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Average Net Income was $259,842. This was down from the $275,302 average in 2008. KDV said this marked the first decrease in 25 years of preparing these statistics.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Overhead as a percentage of fees received increased a point to 65%. So the average net is now 35%. What is yours? Remember, average is not necessarily your aspiration.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Staff gross wages are still about 26%-27%. If you can\u2019t clearly compare your statistics to the industry standards and don\u2019t have a clear look at your bottom line, we can help. Get QuickBooks Pro really working for you. No serious business owner would go without clear financial reports. This overhead survey is a very valuable perspective to help you in budgeting. It will be posted online at AdvancedPracticeManagement.com on the \u201cSurveys\u201d page. You\u2019ll also find other useful information there on the current Dental Economy, Technology and Insurance Participation.<\/p>\n
Our Fee surveys are also online and were recently updated in October.<\/p>\n
* Davich, Wilson and Morrow, who have been doing these overhead surveys for 25 years, merged with KDV (KDV.com).<\/p>\n
