Hello,
I am really curious about how optometrist handle their accounting within their practice. Do you have your own personal accountant? Do you hire them on a full time basis? or do you hire them for advice and you take care of the numbers yourself? Do you pay them by the hour, and if so what is an expected paying rate?
If starting your own practice COLD, would you start handling your books on your own to save money? or still let a professional handle it?
Thanks for the input. I'm really considering starting my own practice, but at the same time want to save money if possible. Is accounting an area where you can cut costs? Just trying to get a few pearls from the practicing OD's on this forum in regards to accounting. Thanks again.
