20/20 Money Episode #242 – Buying into the family practice and modernizing it with Dr. Julie Helmus, OD Pt. 2

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Dr. Julie Helmus, OD. This is part 2 of my conversation with Julie and in this episode, we dive deeper into the deal structure of buyer her parent’s practice, how it was funded, the current org chart of the practice, and some of the pieces of tech that they are using to manage a practice as large as theirs. Julie is also gracious in sharing some detailed numbers of her practice and we talk about the trajectory of the practice going forward. We wrap the conversation by talking about her passion with a new service that her practice is offering and her passion surrounding this type of care as well as thinking through the difference between a CEO and a business owner.
