Equipment & Section 179

EQUIPMENT PURCHASES

Equipment purchases are easy to get wrong when all you see in the books is an expense. Purchases that qualify under the $2,500 de minimis safe harbor should be expensed accordingly, while larger equipment purchases must be reviewed for capitalization rather than simply recorded as an ordinary business expense. We request receipts whenever supporting documentation is needed to keep you audit-ready.

Loans & financing

Larger equipment purchases are often financed, making them easier to get wrong. We make sure the asset purchase includes what you put down and what was financed. As payments go out, we separate principal from interest so your assets, liabilities, and interest expense stay accurate.

SECTION 179 & DEPRECIATION

Taking the largest deduction available today is not always the best strategy. We coordinate Section 179 and depreciation with the broader tax picture so deductions are timed for when they create the most savings. At the same time, larger purchases stay properly documented and organized without crowding the balance sheet with a long list of old assets.

Why Profitable Practices Still Feel Chaotic

Growth often brings more financial complexity before it brings better visibility. What once felt easy to stay on top of grows harder to understand and faster than the time you can dedicate to it.

With more going on, understanding what’s happening financially can easily fall through the cracks. More collections, more compensation, more staff, and more moving pieces to stay on top of.

Collections look strong, but cash feels unpredictable.

Dental practice CPA questions

What should a dental practice look for in a CPA?

Look for a CPA who becomes the bridge between your PMS and QuickBooks, stays ahead of the practice, and doesn’t need to be managed or chased down. As the practice grows, your CPA should grow with it so financial complexity doesn’t outpace visibility and control.

Can you work alongside an office manager or internal staff?

Yes. We often work alongside an internal AP or AR person. They can continue handling day-to-day entries while we review their inputs in QuickBooks to make sure everything is correct and aligned with the financials.

Do you offer tax planning or just tax filing?

Annual tax filing is available with any of our three offers, but it’s optional. Some clients keep their legacy CPA for personal tax filings and engage us solely for the business. Tax planning starts with Business GPS (Tier 2), giving you monthly tax visibility and quarterly CPA meetings to evaluate opportunities as the practice grows.

What is it like working with you?

You receive monthly reporting and an annual January check-in. Business GPS (Tier 2) adds quarterly CPA strategy calls, while Fractional CFO (Tier 3) moves to bi-monthly performance reviews. The CPA stays directly involved throughout. No handoffs or layers of people to work through.
