Jake explains why a dental practice should be viewed as a source of information rather than an ATM, and how overhead is not a destination but a measurement of how well the office is being run.&amp;nbsp; He walks through the difference between fixed and variable costs, the symptom-cause-solution approach to diagnosing financial issues, and how management reporting differs from tax reporting. Jake also reviews how cash flows through a practice, from collections and overhead to available funds, and encourages owners to use their reports as investigative tools to identify opportunities, improve decision-making, and create more influence over their pay.
