Payroll problems don’t stay in payroll. They show up in your taxes. At Lakeview, the issue wasn’t just padded PTO. Taxes weren’t being paid on time. Filings weren’t being reviewed. Numbers weren’t being reconciled. Once payroll data is wrong, everything downstream is wrong: Your financials Your profit Your tax liability

Being a great clinician and being a great business owner are two completely different skill sets. Dr. Mitchell mastered one. The other nearly destroyed his practice.

That doesn’t mean every homeschool student is a fit. Just like any hiring pool, you still need structure, training, and clear expectations. But it does mean many practices may be overlooking capable candidates simply because they don’t match the traditional profile.

When you hand over your practice, you’re not just transferring assets—you’re transferring identity.Your successor inherits more than a patient roster and a revenue stream. They inherit your name on the door, your standards of care, and the trust your community has placed in you.
