    Healthcare Practice Owners Are Paying Too Much In Taxes—Here's Why

    Healthcare practice owners often focus on growing revenue, adding locations, hiring staff, and serving patients—but many completely overlook one of the biggest expenses they'll ever face: taxes. The truth is that most tax-saving opportunities don't happen when you file your tax return. They happen months or even years beforehand through proactive planning. In this episode of the Financial Beast Podcast, Eric Miller breaks down the most common reasons healthcare practice owners overpay in taxes and shares practical strategies that may help reduce tax liability over time. You'll learn: ✔ Why many practice owners pay more than necessary in taxes ✔ Retirement plan strategies that create tax advantages ✔ Cash balance plans and when they make sense ✔ HSA opportunities most owners overlook ✔ Business entity structure considerations ✔ Cost segregation and real estate tax strategies ✔ Roth conversion opportunities ✔ Tax-loss harvesting strategies ✔ Family employment opportunities ✔ Planning ahead for the eventual sale of your practice If you're a veterinarian, dentist, physician, optometrist, chiropractor, or physical therapist, this episode can help you start asking better questions and keeping more of what you earn.

    How to Build a Practice Valuable Enough to Sell

    Most healthcare practice owners dream of building a business that gives them freedom. Very few actually do it. In this episode of the Financial Beast Podcast, Eric Miller interviews Dr. Brian Evans on how he built a successful 6-doctor veterinary practice, navigated a failed sale, eventually exited for millions, and moved his family to Spain. But this conversation isn't just about selling a practice. It's about creating a business that can operate without you. We discuss: • The failed sale that nearly derailed everything • What buyers actually look for in a healthcare practice • Why owner-dependent practices struggle to sell • How Brian removed himself from day-to-day operations • The leadership systems that kept doctors engaged • The financial mistake that cost him years of growth • Why many practice owners stay cash-poor despite growing revenue • The future of veterinary medicine and telemedicine • Building wealth outside your practice If you're a veterinarian, physical therapist, optometrist, dentist, physician, or healthcare entrepreneur, this episode provides a real-world blueprint for creating enterprise value and financial freedom. Subscribe for more conversations on practice growth, wealth building, exit planning, and healthcare entrepreneurship. _________________________________________________________________________________ Want to schedule a free consultation?
