Dental CPA
A CPA who understands your dental practice.
Tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, and S-Corp strategy for Colorado Springs dental practice owners. Year-round support, not just at tax time.
Who We Serve
Built for dentists and practice owners.
Dental practices have unique tax and accounting needs — equipment depreciation, associate compensation, lab fees, and entity structure choices that materially affect your take-home. We've worked with dental and medical practices across Colorado for over 40 years and know how to keep more of what you earn.
Practices We Work With
Built for practices like yours.
- Solo and group dental practices
- Pediatric and family dentistry

- Dental specialists (endo, perio, prostho)
- Associate dentists going on their own
- Practice owners with 1–10 employees
Tax Issues We Solve
Common challenges we handle.
Equipment & Section 179
Dental chairs, imaging, and operatory build-outs add up. We plan depreciation and Section 179 elections to maximize current-year deductions.
S-Corp Salary Strategy
Reasonable comp for owner-dentists is a frequent IRS focus. We benchmark and document salary vs. distribution splits properly.
Associate vs Employee
1099 associate or W-2 employee? We help structure agreements correctly and avoid worker-classification penalties.
Lab Fees & COGS
We make sure lab and supply costs are categorized cleanly so your margins are accurate and tax-ready.
Multi-Owner Practices
Partnership and shareholder allocations done right — including buy-in, buy-out, and basis tracking.
QuickBooks Cleanup
We move dental practices onto QBO with a chart of accounts that actually matches how you run the business.
