Is Your Practice Leaking Profit?

As a practice owner, you have three core jobs: dream the dream, build the team, and don’t run out of money. We spend a lot of time talking about the first two. This session is about the third. In every practice Dr. Dave Nicol has consulted with, revenue has been quietly leaking. Not because the medicine was poor, and not because the team didn’t care, but because billing systems were unclear, inconsistent, or left to habit. On average, practices are undercharging by up to 15% simply through inaccurate billing. The impact is significant. Owners struggle to generate profit. Some are not even paying themselves properly. They eat feathers, not chicken. When profit disappears, so do options. Investment slows, pay raises stall, and the energy required to move the practice forward becomes harder to find. Ideas and dreams need funding, or they die.

What You'll Learn

In this 60-minute live webinar, Dr Dave Nicol shares his proven Four Cs framework to identify and recover missed revenue - helping practices reclaim 5 to 50% without new patients or extra marketing. You'll learn how to:

  • Identify the four predictable causes of revenue leakage

  • Run a simple billing audit that reveals where profit is being lost

  • Implement structured onboarding and training that improves billing accuracy

  • Introduce templates and systems that increase consistency

  • Protect margin without adding stress or micromanagement

  • Materially improve profit without doing any extra clinical work

What You'll Get

Alongside the live session, you will receive The Four Cs of Financial Folly Workbook – a practical implementation guide designed to help you apply the framework inside your own practice. Using the workbook, you will:

  • Spot the hidden patterns reducing your profitability

  • Run a structured mini audit to measure billing variance

  • Identify your biggest financial risk areas

  • Strengthen training, templates, and billing safeguards

  • Build a clear Financial Integrity Plan with defined next steps
