Today, we’re talking about a discipline that every practice needs but too few truly master—budgeting. Think of your budget as the GPS of your practice’s finances. Without it, you’re driving blind, hoping to reach your destination but constantly at risk of wrong turns, delays, or running out of gas altogether.

A budget is more than numbers on a spreadsheet. It’s the roadmap for your practice, helping you prioritize resources, stay financially stable, and make smart, informed decisions. Let’s start by exploring why a budget is so critical and how it can guide your practice like a GPS guides your car.

When you’re using a GPS, you know your destination, you know the best route to take, and, just as importantly, you’re warned when you veer off course. That’s what a budget does for your practice. It sets clear financial goals, outlines how to get there, and helps you course-correct when things don’t go as planned. One key tool for staying on track is a monthly financial review with your board or leadership team.
