My husband and I finally feel we found a team we can trust!. The group is amazing, everyone is so helpful and knowledgeable, they guide you and make sure you get things done. Austin, our accountant, is making a huge difference sending the monthly numbers on time! 10 out of 10!!

DSO CFO had taken our financials & have simplified everything. Because of what they've implemented, we now know where our financial KPI's should be each month.
Understanding our financials has never been easier than with DSO CFO. They customized our financials so that I better understand & follow what's taking place in our practices each month.
Hiring DSO CFO for our group was the best decision we could have made. Before we started working with them our books were a mess. We didn't know how we were going to get funding to grow, and we needed to figure out how we were going to keep our associates motivated to stay with us. They have helped us put a plan together to address all of these issues and more. I can't imagine going through this process without them.
DSO CFO helped us close a $12,500,000 credit facility and during a critical time in the process provided timely game-changing advice that got us over the finish line. Austin Moffat and the DSO CFO team bring complementary skills to any engagement. They have a talented and growing team of experienced professionals. They are responsive and available when you need them. Navigating the DSO industry is complex, skilled professionals are needed and DSO CFO has those resources.
Austin and DSOCFO streamlined finances and established a regular cadence for reviewing our financial health for our small private practice group... they also helped open doors and connections to put is in a better position bu consolidating debt and finding capital to expand the business quickly. When the owner was ready to sell, Austin and his team helped make the transaction smooth and fruitful. If you are looking for a company that can do more than just accounting- these are your guys!
Working with DSO/CFO has been a game changer for our rapidly expanding DSO. Their team truly understands the unique financial needs of our organization and their expertise has helped streamline our accounting processes. From preparing financial reports to managing accounts payable, they've provided invaluable services and professional guidance every step of the way. The personalized attention and prompt responses make us feel like their top priority. Thanks to their support, we can focus on providing excellent patient care, knowing our finances are in trusted hands.

Austin and his team at DSO CFO are an exceptional team who make financial reporting easy to understand and follow in order to immediately take actionable steps to make necessary changes in the business. Also, they are highly responsive and are very reasonable with their costs. They can also help with other projects such as budgeting and financial forecasting as needed. All in all, highly recommend DSO CFO for all your book keeping and accounting needs.
I loved the detailed reports provided by DSO CFO. For years I had handled all of the financials of my practice but in the last 5 years, with lots of growth, that part of the practice became extremely difficult for me to manage and keep up with patient care. Using DSO CFO was a seamless transition. They meet with me monthly to discuss all the financials. We discuss categories of spending which allows me to make adjustments to increase our profitability. In working with DSO CFO, I have gained a much better understanding of how to cut costs while maintaining excellent patient care and retaining a star team of employees.
Reflecting on a year of partnership with DSO CFO and Austin Moffat, I'm reminded of the great strides we've made in our financial processes. The crucial role timely and accurate P&Ls play in day-to-day operations cannot be overstated. Thanks to our collaboration, we've regained control and insight into our financial landscape, empowering us to make informed decisions, allocate resources effectively, and navigate challenges with confidence. Here's to continued success through excellence in financial reporting! Thank you, Austin!

Who you’ll work with
Austin Moffat ran the financial side of a Southern California dental group as it grew from two locations to eight between 2016 and 2023, and was part of the transaction when it sold at a 10x EBITDA multiple. DSO CFO is the firm he would have wanted on the owner’s side of that table.
Austin leads the firm. A dental-only team of accountants and advisors keeps the books and reviews the monthly numbers for more than 250 practices.
