    2024 Books & Benchmarks Report Discussion with Nathan Hayes

    Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Nathan Hayes. Nathan joins me on the show to do a deep dive into 2024's Books & Benchmark's annual report. He shares ranges of the numbers that practice owners should really care about and should be tracking: COGS, non-OD staff expense, Associate OD comp ranges, occupancy costs, and G&A (general & administrative). We also talk about some of the lessons that practice owners can learn from these numbers and walk through a number of examples that both he and I have seen in our work with owners.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

    Are Opportunity Zones really an opportunity or is the tax tail wagging the investment dog with Peter Lazaroff, CFA, CFP®

    Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Peter Lazaroff, CFA, CFP®. Peter joins me to examine whether the much-touted tax benefits of opportunity zones (OZs) justify the risks required, or if investors are letting the “tax tail” wag the investment dog. We cover how OZs work, what the new One BBB Act means for the program’s future, and practical ways optometric practice owners can decide whether rolling a large capital gain into an OZ—or into something else—really serves their overall financial plan.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

    Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Dr. Dodge Perry, OD. Dodge joins me on the show to have an open discussion after listening to my "Frankenstein" episode, which was inspired by him asking me the question "If I could create an ideal private practice, what would go into that decision making process?" We discuss the intricacies of setting up an optometry practice, emphasizing the importance of location, financial planning, and the role of AI in practice management. We explore how personal and professional lives intersect in decision-making, the significance of understanding financial metrics, and the evolving landscape of patient experience in the context of technological advancements.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

  4. What the One Big Beautiful Bill Act means for optometry private practice owners & their financial planning

    What the One Big Beautiful Bill Act means for optometry private practice owners & their financial planning

    In this episode of 20/20 Money, I break down some of the most impactful tax and planning changes introduced in the recently passed Big Beautiful Bill Act—Congress’s sweeping update to the tax code that makes many TCJA provisions permanent while adding new wrinkles that matter to private practice owners.   Whether you’re thinking about how to reduce your taxable income, maximize deductions, or just stay ahead of legislative changes that affect your financial life, this episode is designed to help you take stock and plan strategically.   🏡 Individual Tax Provisions SALT cap increase to $40,000 through 2029, with phase-down for high earners QBI deduction made permanent, with higher income thresholds Return of personal exemptions and new senior standard deduction Expanded Child and Dependent Care Credit: up to $7,500 Introduction of Trump Accounts: tax-advantaged savings accounts for minors Increased EV tax credit with potential application to business purchases   🧾 Business Tax Planning 100% bonus depreciation made permanent Section 179 deduction limit increased to $3 million Updated QBI deduction strategies for S-corp owners and those near the new thresholds   ⚠️ Watch-Outs and Questionable Strategies Can you use 529 plan funds for CE expenses? (Short answer: only if they’re required for credentialing) New car loan interest deduction—but don’t overbuy just for the tax break Overtime and tip income exclusions for employees—opportunities for staff retention, but not game-changers for owners   🧮 Interesting Items Tucked into the Bill 1099 reporting threshold increased from $600 → $2,000 (finally!) No unemployment benefits for individuals earning > $1 million/year Debt ceiling raised by $5 trillion—and why that doesn’t mean the Fed is buying debt   📌 Key Takeaway: This legislation reshapes both personal and business tax planning for optometric practice owners. It’s a great time to revisit your compensation strategy, equipment financing, gifting plans, and entity structure—especially before year-end 2025 when many provisions take effect.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

  5. 5 common decisions that prevent ODs from achieving financial independence

    5 common decisions that prevent ODs from achieving financial independence

    Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money. In the spirit of Independence Day, today’s episode explores a different kind of freedom—financial independence—and the common decisions that often stand in the way of achieving it. I walk through five recurring mistakes I see optometric practice owners make that limit their long-term financial freedom, both personally and professionally. From overleveraging and ignoring balance sheets to misjudging the impact of time and delaying planning altogether, these decisions can quietly undermine your goals.   My hope is that this episode prompts you to evaluate which of these areas might be holding you back—and take steps now to build a more intentional path toward true independence.   Topics covered include: – The hidden cost of overleveraging in life and business – How time and money intersect in your practice profitability – Why your balance sheet matters more than your income – The danger of relying solely on your practice sale for retirement – The importance of creating an integrated personal and professional plan   Next Best Step: Take 10 minutes this week to identify which of these five decisions may be showing up in your life—and commit to course-correcting just one of them before year-end.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.

    Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today's show is Mike Jorgenson from Carr Healthcare Realty.   Mike joins me back on the show to talk about what goes into a demographics search when evaluating the location of a practice—and he does it from both a cold start as well as existing practice's point of view. We talk about the minimum OD:population ratio that's generally advisable when setting up or buying a practice and other details as it pertains to the factors that influence the demographics of a practice's location. Our conversation then transitions into, well...practice transitions! Whether a selling doctor leases or owns the real estate that the practice is located in, Mike shares important real estate considerations that both sides—buyer and seller alike—should be thinking about and and proactively planning.   As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center.
