Best of 2023: Financial Planning Considerations for Owners of Established Optometry Practices

As we approach year-end, it's time to rewind to a popular 2023 episode! 

In Part 3 of a 3 part series, Evon dove into the many financial planning considerations optometrists need to think about when you own a more established, mature private optometry practice - both inside the business and in the household.

A few of the planning topics practice owners should think about are:

• Maintaining your vision for the ideal practice and ownership life
• Building guardrails around your practice based on your ideal lifestyle
• Create a separation between your practice and personal finances
• Create a framework for deciding how to best use the cash flow your practice creates
• Getting the most from your practice retirement plans
• Planning for financial independence and retirement
• Balancing the growth of different parts of your net worth over time
• Risk management, contingency planning in the practice, and estate planning
• Keep an eye on the other financial goals in your life outside the practice
• Keeping in close contact with your professionals.
