20/20 Money Episode #211 – Planning for the success and succession of your practice (emotionally and financially) with Dr. Pete Kehoe, OD

November 21, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Pete Kehoe, OD.

Dr. Kehoe is a fellow of the Academy of Optometry, National Academies of Practice and a Diplomate of the American Board of Optometry.  He has served the profession in a variety of roles and was president of the American Optometric Association 2008-2009. He is a partner in three private practices in central Illinois and serves Vision Source as an administrator in Illinois since 2000 and a variety of roles as a senior advisor since 2014. Dr. Kehoe served as a non-executive board member of Optos, Plc and currently serves as a consultant in professional development for Transitions Optical, Heru and Optos.

During this episode, we spend the majority of our conversation talking about the importance of planning for the success and succession of your private practice…whether you’re 35, 55, 65, or even 75 and the owner of a practice. Pete shares what was successful for him in recruiting and retaining providers that eventually became partners in his practice. We talk through how he financed the buy-in, the emotional component of selling part of one’s practice, the compensation structure that has worked well for their partnership, and some of the headwinds and tailwinds he observes in optometry and what practice owners can do about them.

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 serve in the capacity of a personal and professional CFO: helping OD practice owners around the country reduce their tax bill, proactively manage cash flow, and make prudent investment decisions both in and out of their practice to help them live their best life on purpose. You can also check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks, blog posts, and on-demand webinars. Lastly, if you’re interested in learning more about the upcoming launch of the 20/20 Money Membership, please check out the link in the Resources to learn more about what we have in store for you!  We made the announcement back on episode 200 and are still “cooking in the kitchen;” we’ll keep you posted as we have updates around the timeline of the launch and what the model will look like, etc.

And with that introduction, I hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Pete Kehoe.
