Explore tax strategyFrom experience
We know the numbers.
And the decisions behind them.
We've worked with dental practices through the questions behind the financial statements, and know that the view from an owner's chair is different from the view on a spreadsheet.
Our perspective is shaped by experience on the practice-ownership side, too. Good financial guidance should help with the real decisions: when to grow, what to fix, and what comes next.

Who you’ll work with
Built by someone who
sat on your side of the table.
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.
