Healers vs. Stealers. Protecting yourself from employee theft in dentistry with David Harris 0111

Employee theft in dental practices represents a significant hidden drain on practice profitability and EBITDA, making dental practice employee theft prevention essential for 8-figure entrepreneurs preparing for exits. Why Employee Theft Destroys Practice Valuation: Undetected theft directly reduces EBITDA multiples and lowers practice value during transitions Financial leaks compound over years, creating gaps between claimed and actual profitability Buyers and DSO partners conduct deep forensic audits—theft patterns emerge and tank deal terms Lost cash flow weakens your negotiating position in exit negotiations Critical Controls Every Dental Practice Needs: Tim and expert David Harris break down the specific systems, monitoring protocols, and accountability structures that separate thriving practices from those bleeding cash through employee misconduct. This isn't about distrust—it's about financial discipline that buyers expect to see before acquiring your practice. What You'll Learn: Red flags and behavioral patterns that indicate employee theft occurring in your practice Operational checks and financial controls that prevent theft without creating friction How DSOs and practice acquirers evaluate internal controls during due diligence Documentation strategies that protect your practice value and increase exit multiples Whether you're scaling toward a seven-figure or eight-figure exit, securing your practice against internal financial leaks directly impacts your wealth transition.
