What does dental bookkeeping include?
A reliable monthly close, clean and separated books, and reporting you can put to work, so tax time is a non-event.
- Clean monthly close, fully reconciled
- Personal and business books separated
- Consolidated multi-location P&L
- Profit by provider and location
WORKS WITH THE TOOLS YOU ALREADY USE
No switching systems. We work inside your existing practice-management and finance tools.
Clean, current books shouldn’t be this hard.
You went to dental school, not accounting school. When books get pushed to nights and weekends, they stop being a management tool and start being a source of stress, and you lose sight of what’s making you money.
Books as an afterthought
- Reconciling on spreadsheets, often months behind
- Personal and business expenses mixed together
- No idea which location or provider is profitable
- Cash flow swings from insurance timing you can’t predict
- Tax season anxiety and missed deductions
Books as a management tool
- A clean, on-time monthly close every month
- Personal and business finances cleanly separated
- Profitability visible by location and provider
- Cash flow forecasting you can plan around
- Proactive tax planning, no April surprises
Everything your practice’s books need
Monthly close of your books & reconciliation
A consistent, on-time close with reconciled accounts, so your numbers are accurate and current, and you avoid a year-end scramble.
Consolidated multi-location reporting
One clear P&L across every location, so you can compare performance and see the whole practice at a glance.
Profitability by provider & location
Reporting that shows what’s making you money, by chair, provider, and site, so you manage on facts.
Clean personal / business separation
We untangle personal and business spending to protect your assets and make tax prep painless.
Proactive tax planning
Multi-state compliance, entity-structure guidance, and deductions captured, folded right into your books.
Software & systems setup
Scalable accounting systems that connect with your practice-management tools, set up right and maintained.
Finally see what every location and provider earns
Every month you get a clean close plus reporting that shows profit by location and by provider, days in AR, and margin trends. The numbers you need to run the practice are ready when you are, straight from your books.
Free consultation • No obligation • No long-term contract
Right-sized for your practice
Wherever your practice is today, we scope the books, payroll, and tax to fit, and scale the support as you grow.
STARTING OUT
One or two locations
1–2 locations • $1.5-5M
You’re running QuickBooks and spreadsheets at night. We give you a clean monthly close plus payroll and tax you can stop worrying about, so you always know where you stand.
SCALING UP
Multiple locations
3–15 locations • $5-40M
Disconnected accounts and no consolidated P&L. We give you one clean set of books across every location, with profitability you can see by site and provider.
GROUP STAGE
A growing group or small DSO
5–30 locations • $15-75M
You’ve grown by acquisition and outgrown ad hoc support. We handle multi-entity consolidation and audit-ready financials without a full in-house team.
“Working with Burkland for the second time I had confidence that they would deliver, and they have. They completed an initial assessment of our finance needs in a short period of time then quickly began to execute. I especially appreciate the solutions-oriented mindset they bring to their work.”
Dental bookkeeping & accounting, answered
-
How is this different from my local CPA or bookkeeper?
Most local bookkeepers can keep a general ledger. Fewer can tell you which of your locations is actually making money, or hand a buyer's diligence team a consolidated P&L without a month of cleanup first. We bring dental-specific benchmarks, multi-location consolidation, and reporting that breaks performance down by provider and location, and we keep your bookkeeping, tax, and payroll working as one system rather than three disconnected ones.
-
Can you show me profitability by location and provider?
Yes. We build reporting that breaks down performance by location and by provider, so you can see what is actually making money instead of just a practice-wide total, and make staffing and investment decisions on real numbers.
-
Do you handle tax as well as bookkeeping?
Yes. Bookkeeping and tax work best together. We keep your books clean year-round and handle proactive tax planning, multi-state compliance, and entity-structure guidance, so tax season is a non-event.
-
What accounting and practice-management software do you work with?
We work in the tools you already use, including QuickBooks and the major dental practice-management systems such as Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, and Curve. We set up clean connections so data flows without double entry.
-
My books are a mess. How do you get me caught up?
We start with a discovery review of your current books, then a clean-up and catch-up plan to get you to accurate, current financials. From there you get a reliable monthly close, so it stays clean going forward.
-
Do I have to switch off my current systems?
No. In most cases we work within your existing setup and improve it, rather than forcing a replacement. If a change would genuinely help, we will show you why when recommending it.
