## Resource

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes sits down with Brent Saunnier and Chris Sands, co-founders of Profi Dental CPAs, for a deep dive into the real-world consequences of neglecting your accounting. They unpack a cautionary case involving years of unfiled tax returns, unreliable books, IRS notices, and six-figure cleanup costs before even knowing whether additional taxes are owed. The conversation highlights why dentists need accurate, timely financials not just for tax compliance, but for practice valuation, lending, growth, and making smart acquisition decisions. From seller-side chaos to buyer-side red flags, this episode is a powerful reminder that prevention in accounting is just as important as prevention in dentistry.
