Choose the right perspective
Match the person to your ownership model and stage, since finance at a sponsor-backed platform built through acquisitions differs from finance at a public dental group. Check each person's earlier roles too, because CFOs who came from other healthcare services or from outside healthcare bring different playbooks.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you evaluate and integrate newly acquired dental practices into one finance and reporting structure?
- 02Which practice-level metrics do you put in front of owners or the board to show how the business is performing?
- 03How do you plan capital for new locations and acquisitions while keeping debt and cash flow under control?
