Dental Accounting & Bookkeeping Services for Dental Practice Owners

A team committed exclusively to serving the dental profession

Accounting Business Services for Dental Practices

At Duckett Ladd, we understand the unique challenges that dentists face. From managing insurance claims to complying with complex regulations, dental professionals have their hands full.

That’s why we offer a comprehensive suite of accounting services for dental practices. As your complete financial strategy solution, we partner with you to ensure that your business remains financially healthy so that you can continue operating the practice you have always dreamed of owning.

Why Work With Duckett Ladd?

Duckett Ladd was founded to help dental professionals streamline their business operations to generate more value from their business hours. Ask yourself: Do you receive greater value from spending more time with patients or sitting in an office chair?

Our services allow you to better utilize your business hours so that you can focus more on providing excellent care to your patients. While you’re spending more time with them, we’ll ensure the financial aspects of your practice receive their due diligence from our seasoned team.

How We Do Accounting for Dentists

Our accounting services include:

1

Tax Planning

Is your practice paying more in taxes than it should have to? With a comprehensive tax strategy, our team at Duckett Ladd will help ensure that you are never overpaying or underpaying. 

We stay up to date on the latest tax laws and regulations so you don’t have to. We’ll work with you to develop a comprehensive tax strategy that minimizes your tax liability and maximizes your bottom line along with ongoing advice and support tailored to your specific business needs.

2

Bookkeeping

Our team understands the complexities of dental billing and coding, and we can help you stay on top of your finances so that you can focus on providing quality care to your patients. Our dental bookkeeping services are customized to fit your unique needs. We offer a variety of reports and tools to help you manage your practice’s finances so that you can spend more time doing what you love about your profession and less time bogged down by administrative tasks.

Financial Statement Preparation

As a dentist, you know that financial management is a critical part of running a successful practice. From insurance reimbursements to employee salaries, there are seemingly countless numbers to keep track of.

That’s where we come in. We’ll make sure that your statements are accurate and compliant with all applicable laws. We’ll also work with you to identify opportunities for cost savings and improvement.

4

Reporting

Creating financial reports consumes valuable time that you could be spending with patients. We’ll make sure that all of your reports are accurate so that you can remain protected against potential liabilities.

Dental Bookkeeping Services

Your books shouldn’t be an afterthought at year-end. Duckett Ladd provides dental bookkeeping services designed around how dental practices actually operate — production vs. collections tracking, insurance aging reports, and monthly reconciliation that reflects the full picture of your practice’s financial health.

General bookkeepers don’t know the difference between a write-off and a contractual adjustment. We do. Our team understands dental billing cycles, coding nuances, and the metrics that actually drive practice profitability. That expertise changes what your monthly reports tell you — and how confidently you can act on them.

Every month, you get clean, reconciled books and reports built for dental practice owners. No year-end scramble. No surprises. Just a clear, current view of where your practice stands financially — and a stronger foundation for tax reduction for dentists when tax season arrives.

Dental CFO Services

As your practice grows past $1M in collections — or as you begin managing multiple locations or planning an acquisition — standard accounting isn’t enough. Duckett Ladd’s dental CFO services provide the financial oversight your practice needs at that stage: KPI reporting, cash flow forecasting, and strategic planning built around the benchmarks that matter in dentistry.

A fractional CFO isn’t your bookkeeper and isn’t your tax preparer. They’re your financial strategist — the person who tells you what your numbers mean and what to do next. For practice owners preparing to expand, partner, or exit, our fractional CFO for dental practices gives you CFO-level guidance without the cost of a full-time hire.

If you’re making decisions that will shape the next five years of your practice, you need more than accurate books. You need a financial partner who understands where you’re going.

No Long-Term Contracts

We believe that flexibility is critical to an evolving dental practice. This is why we don’t require long-term contracts to assist you in achieving your business goals.

We can scale with your business as your operational needs change over time. We’re dedicated to supporting you through all stages of your practice growth using our proven process that delivers results from small rural offices to large organizations in major cities.

The crew at Duckett and Ladd have taken care of all my small business books for the last year and I could not be happier. Being a refrigeration guy (and not an accountant) there are a lot of things regarding taxes I don't understand. The team allows me to sleep easy knowing that I don't need to be versed in the uniform tax code. They advise me with future growth tax strategies in mind and they take the time to explain the benefits and reasons behind the options. With the late season tax reviews I am assured there won't be any surprises.
