This episode highlights the ins and outs of navigating financial reports. For practice managers, understanding the numbers that drive your practice is essential for making informed decisions and ensuring financial success. Most managers have a favorite report, budget, profit and loss statement, KPI, etc. while others just go by a checking balance that “looks good.” Whatever your favorite report is, they are all important and every report has a story to tell.
