When to Hire a CPA
If you’re still filing your own taxes as an orthodontist, you’re likely overpaying or making mistakes. A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) who specializes in dental and medical practices is one of the best investments you can make.
Signs It’s Time to Hire a CPA:
Your income has grown and tax planning has become more complex.
You’re spending too much time on bookkeeping instead of focusing on your patients.
You’re unsure how to properly structure your practice for tax efficiency.
You want to reduce your tax burden legally but don’t know all the deductions available.
You’ve been audited or received IRS notices in the past.
A great CPA will do more than just file taxes—they will help you strategize year-round, plan for growth, and ensure compliance with tax laws.
What to Look for in a CPA:
Experience with dental and medical professionals
Strong knowledge of tax deductions and loopholes specific to orthodontists
Ability to offer proactive tax strategies instead of just end-of-year filing
Clear, upfront pricing with no hidden fees
