Listen in or watch as host David Mandell interviews CPA and practice consultant Nolan Bradbury.

David begins by noting he and Nolan will first focus on traditional private practices and then then transition into “side hustles” and doctorpreneurship.

In terms of private practices, David asks Nolan about key financial priorities in running a profitable practice, including the importance of key performance indicators (KPIs) and the critical difference between delegating and abdicating. They also discuss a number of important success factors if doctors are looking to grow the practice and, eventually, exit in some type of merger or sale.

Turning their discussion to side hustles and entrepreneurship, Nolan explains what he sees as must-haves in terms of considerations for physicians branching out into these areas. Nolan also gives insights into how a physician or practice can find a good CPA who is the right fit for them.

He also relates that his initial plan for an osteoporosis center did not workout, so he pivoted to medical evaluation for worker’s compensation cases and medical-legal work as an expert witness.
