20/20 Money Episode #170 – (Re)setting expectations on the valuation of an optometry practice with Nathan Hayes

February 7, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Nathan Hayes. Nathan joins me back on the show today to talk about a topic that was actually inspired within the ODs on Finance Facebook community: why practices are valued the way that they are and whether the valuation method that’s used is fair to the seller. Nathan and I discuss this question at length and from several different viewpoints. We also talk about why it’s beneficial for younger ODs looking to purchase a practice to have more cash on your personal balance sheet and have outstanding loans than it is to aggressively pay off your debt…but then not have any liquidity to show for it.

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, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter and 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, proactively manage cash flow, and make prudent investment decisions or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks, blog posts, and on-demand webinars.

And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Nathan Hayes.
