Nine service areas, one team, and a planning cycle that runs all year instead of arriving in
April. Everything below is delivered inside one of three monthly programs, so nothing
important is billed as an extra when it matters most.
Everything a practice owner needs from an accounting partner
Most of what follows is compliance work that has to happen anyway. The part that changes
your outcome is the planning wrapped around it.
Bookkeeping & monthly close
You did not buy a practice to spend Sunday night in a spreadsheet. We take the numerical side of the practice off your desk and give it back to you as something you can actually read.
A dental-specific chart of accounts, not a generic template
Lab, clinical supplies, and office supplies tracked as separate lines
A monthly close that actually closes, targeted at the tenth business day
Bank feeds, reconciliations, and clean owner accounts
Proactive tax planning
Tax preparation happens in the spring. Tax planning happens in the fall. We work the levers that still have runway left: retirement plan design, equipment timing, compensation, and prepayment decisions.
Year projection before decisions get made, not after
Retirement plan design, including cash balance plans layered over a 401(k)
Equipment and depreciation elections chosen deliberately
A December that confirms the plan instead of scrambling to build one
Tax preparation & filing
The filing itself, handled by the same people who planned the year. Business and personal returns are prepared together, because for a practice owner they are one financial picture wearing two forms.
1120S, 1065, or Schedule C as your structure requires
Individual income tax return prepared alongside the business return
Form 1099 filing and year-end payroll forms
Multi-state filing for practices with more than one location
Payroll & owner compensation
For an S Corporation owner, the salary and distribution split is one of the most valuable recurring decisions you make, and it is set through payroll. Payroll ends in December, so this is not something to revisit in April.
Bi-weekly payroll processing for the whole team
A defensible reasonable-compensation figure, with the support documented
Owner payroll allocation reviewed before the final run of the year
Employee versus contractor classification reviewed properly
Entity structure review
Your attorney picked your entity for liability reasons, on a day when nobody could have told you what the practice would earn. Nobody rechecked it for taxes. Entity choice is a tax decision as much as a legal one, and tax decisions expire.
What you are legally organized as, and how you are actually taxed
Whether an S Corporation election still fits the profit you earn now
Real estate held in the right entity, with a documented lease
A review triggered by a new partner, a building, an associate, or a coming sale
Financial reporting & benchmarking
Your collections tell you almost nothing on their own. Your overhead percentages tell you exactly where the money is going and whether that is normal for a practice your size.
Every overhead category scored against practices your size
The nine numbers that matter, calculated and delivered monthly
A live dashboard covering business, practice, and marketing numbers
The two categories costing you the most, identified rather than buried
New practice owner setup
The clinical side of ownership has a well-worn path. The financial side has almost none of it. We build the same setup for every new owner, in the same order, inside the first ninety days.
Four bank accounts, not one: operating, payroll, tax reserve, distribution
State withholding and unemployment registration, the two most often missed
Quarterly estimated payments calculated before the first cash surprise
Purchase price allocation carried correctly into your depreciation schedule
Acquisition & expansion accounting
Buying a practice, adding a location, or bringing on a partner changes your numbers before it changes your schedule. We model the deal on an after-tax basis and set the books up to carry it.
After-tax modelling of the purchase, not just the loan payment
Allocation review before the letter of intent is signed, not after closing
Lender-ready financials and projections
Second-location books structured so each site can be judged on its own
Transition & exit tax planning
Sellers negotiate hard on the price and then sign the allocation schedule without reading it. That schedule decides how much of the sale is taxed as capital gain and how much as ordinary income.
After-tax proceeds modelled before you negotiate, not after
Purchase price allocation strategy for the letter of intent
Asset sale versus equity sale, judged against your entity type
Legacy C Corporation problems surfaced years before they get expensive
Choose your level of support
Three programs. The difference is how often we sit down together.
Pricing is monthly and reflects standard practice needs. Final scope is confirmed on a
discovery call, and we will recommend a lighter program if that is the honest answer.
Annual
$1,300/mo
The essentials, handled. Clean books, compliant filings, and a yearly tax strategy session.
Every tier includes the compliance work. Only the meeting cadence and the dashboard change.
How it starts
Four steps, about five business days
Most owners begin with the free review rather than a program. It costs nothing and it tells
both of us whether there is anything worth doing.
1
Send the documents
Your last two filed business returns and the matching personal return. About ten minutes
of your time. We send a secure upload link so nothing sensitive travels by email.
2
We confirm scope
A short intake covering collections, entity type, state, number of owners, and whether
you own the building. This tells us where to look first.
3
An advisor reviews
A licensed advisor, not software, works through nine review points covering structure,
compensation, retirement design, depreciation, real estate, credits, and method.
4
You get the memo
A written summary lands in your inbox: what we would have done differently, what looks
correct, and a dollar range on the difference. Yours to keep either way.
This is a review with a written work product, not a free consultation with a pitch attached.
We are not going to tell you your accountant is bad at their job. Most of the time they are
doing exactly what they were hired to do, which is prepare a return. If the memo comes back
thin, you have confirmation your current advisor is doing the job well. That is worth
knowing too.
Why this works better than a standalone CPA
Five divisions, one client file
KLAS Solutions runs practice transitions, coaching, accounting and tax, marketing, and real
estate around the same practice owner. When those functions share a file, questions that
normally fall between advisors get answered.
The person modelling your after-tax proceeds is working from the same numbers as the person
negotiating your deal. The person setting up your books already knows what you paid for the
practice and how it was allocated. The person telling you your marketing spend is too low
at 2% of collections is looking at the same profit and loss as your CPA.
Buying your building? Held in a separate entity, with a documented lease
between it and the practice.
Service questions
Scope, switching, and what it costs
What is included in every program?
Bookkeeping, bi-weekly payroll services, Form 1099 filing, owner payroll allocation, entity review, an annual tax planning meeting, your 1120S corporate return, and your individual income tax return. The tiers differ in how often we meet and review, not in whether the compliance work gets done.
What is the difference between the three tiers?
Cadence. Annual gives you clean books, compliant filings, and one strategy session a year. Bi-Annual adds a mid-year check-in and a quarterly business review. Quarterly adds four full Quarterly Business Reviews attended by your CPA, coach, and consultant together, a monthly business review, and the live dashboard.
Can I buy just bookkeeping, or just tax preparation?
We build programs rather than selling isolated line items, because the value comes from the same team seeing the whole picture. That said, if you only need part of this today, say so on the call. We would rather point you at the right scope than sell you something you do not need yet.
Do you take over from my current accountant mid-year?
Yes, and mid-year is often better than waiting. We request the prior two returns and the current year books, reconcile what is there, and pick up from the most recent closed month. The handoff itself is routine and we manage the document requests.
How does the S Corporation salary decision get made?
We build the number from what you actually do rather than a percentage from a forum. We separate your clinical work from your ownership work, price the clinical role against regional associate compensation, add what a practice administrator would cost for the management time, sanity check it against practice profit, then write down the support and keep it with the tax file.
What if the S Corporation election is not right for my practice?
Then we tell you to wait. The election does not help everyone. If practice profit is under roughly $60,000, if a reasonable salary would consume nearly all of it, or if you are carrying losses, the payroll cost and extra filings can outweigh the savings. An advisor who always recommends the election is not analyzing anything.
