The Breakaway Growth Accelerator (BGA) is a financial advisory program for dental practice owners who have stable books and are ready to stop leaving money on the table. It focuses on four areas: profit optimization, tax savings strategy, owner compensation structure, and cash flow clarity. Unlike a standard accounting relationship, the BGA isn’t about compliance. It is about building a practice that generates real, lasting wealth. Most practices that engage the BGA find six-figure opportunities within the first 90 days.
Who is the Breakaway Growth Accelerator for?
The BGA is designed for dental practice owners who are:
If your practice is in survival mode, the BGA is not the right starting point. If your practice is functioning and growing but the financial results do not match the effort you are putting in, the BGA is exactly what you need.
What does the Breakaway Growth Accelerator actually do?
The BGA is a structured, quarterly engagement with four core components.
Profit leak identification. We benchmark your practice against dental industry standards across every major cost category: staff, lab, supplies, overhead, and marketing. Most practices have at least two significant leaks they are unaware of. We find them and build a plan to close them.
Proactive tax strategy. Instead of waiting until tax season, we run mid-year projections and identify every legal tax-saving move available to you before December 31. This includes retirement plan optimization, owner compensation structure review, equipment timing, and entity structure analysis.
Owner compensation optimization. Most dental practice owners are either paying themselves too much in salary, creating unnecessary payroll tax exposure, or paying themselves too little and underreporting their own ROI. We build a compensation structure that is defensible, tax-efficient, and tied to what the practice actually produces.
Cash flow planning. We build a forward-looking cash flow model so you know what your bank account will look like 60 to 90 days from now. No more surprises on payroll week. No more wondering if there is enough to make a quarterly tax payment.
What results do Breakaway Growth Accelerator practices typically see?
Results vary by practice, but the patterns are consistent. In a recent engagement with a two-doctor dental practice generating $2.1M in collections, the BGA process identified:
Combined, those three items represent $96,000 in annual improvement. At the BGA engagement fee, that is a multiple-of-fee return in year one alone.
These numbers are specific to that practice. Yours will be different. But the methodology is the same, and the opportunities exist in almost every practice that has been running without a proactive financial partner.
What does the Breakaway Growth Accelerator cost to not have?
That is the most important question.
If your practice is doing $1.5M in collections and has even one of the common profit leaks mentioned above, you are likely leaving $40,000 to $80,000 per year on the table. Over five years, that is $200,000 to $400,000 in profit that never materialized, in taxes that did not need to be paid, or in cash that evaporated without a clear reason.
The Breakaway Growth Accelerator does not cost money. It finds money that is already there.
