Column A – Please enter all of your Real Numbers from the prior year data that you have collected.  For example Real Revenue is the total amount of money collected in your business for the prior calendar year.  This goes in cell A1.  Profit would be any money you deposited into a savings account and it’s still there – true profit is set aside and taken out of the business so it’s not to be spent on overhead.  Owner’s Compensation is what you actually took home plus any benefits the company paid on your behalf.  Tax is the total income tax you paid during the previous year. Operating Expenses is the total of all business expenses including all loan payments made. 

Column B – calculate the percentage here. Real revenue is 100%. Then divide A2/A1 and multiply X 100. Enter result in B2 as a percentage.  Do the same for each row and enter the percentage in Column B

Column C – This is where you will set a target for each category.  You may refer back to my book for the ranges in percentage for dentistry.  All the tools and resources are available for download from my website listed above.

Column D – Using your own Target percentages now calculate the new dollar amount for each category (row).  For now just use the same real number for income that you entered in Column A. 

Column E – This column is the Compare Column.  This is where you will enter the difference between the actual (CAP) and the goal (TAP). 

Column F – This is the FIX column and you simply indicate if you need to increase or decrease this number. 

The purpose of this self-assessment is to bring clarity to you about your business.  If you find this mind boggling, I understand.  And that’s why I’m here.  If you want to chat sometime or need some additional help, I’m here for you.
