20/20 Money Episode #126 – Rethink the way you think about budgeting in your practice with Nathan Hayes

April 5, 2021

On this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Nathan Hayes of IDOC. Nathan joins us to talk about something that is oftentimes discussed towards the end of the year and the beginning of the next year: budgeting, specifically budgeting your business expenses. Even though this show isn’t coming out until the spring, it’s still worthwhile to discuss, because as you’ll see throughout the conversation, it’s not just something that happens once a year.

In our conversation, we talk about what your target revenue growth should be per year (hint, it’s not a percentage), why your budget already exists and therefore why it’s actually hard to budget, how you should rethink the way you budget, how to assess when to spend money and how much to spend, financing vs paying cash for capital investments into the practice, a list of areas in your practice that you should be auditing, and 2 items that you absolutely must budget for on an annual basis.

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. While there, you can also set up a 20-30min Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we help ODs around the country reduce their tax bill, manage cash flow, and make proactive money decisions or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks and on-demand webinars.
