Why Finneste for Dentists & Orthodontists
Finance built the way your industry actually runs
Production vs collection, monthly
Daily production tracked from PMS. Adjustments, write-offs, refunds — reconciled. Collection ratio trended so you catch slippage early.
Insurance A/R that actually moves
45+ day aging flagged automatically, by payer. We help you see which insurers are slow-paying so your team can follow up before it hits 90.
Associate & hygiene comp, correct
Percentage of production vs collection, overrides, bonuses — handled. Compensation statements to the associate on the 5th, every month.

Dentists & Orthodontists Pain Points
Dentists and practice managers, this list is for you.
"Production hits the PMS. Collection lags by 60 days."
Your PMS shows production. Cash hits the bank weeks later. Insurance write-offs adjust it. By the time real collection % is visible, the month is closed.
"Insurance A/R quietly ages"
Aetna pays in 14 days. United takes 45. One payer slips to 90+ and your A/R balloons by tens of thousands. Nobody is watching by payer until it's a problem.
"Associate comp is rebuilt every month"
Percentage of production, percentage of collection, write-off responsibility, lab fees split. Built in Excel by your office manager. One mistake and the conversation is uncomfortable.
"Lab fees and supplies hit margin invisibly"
You think your overhead is 62%. You don't really know. Lab fees are coded somewhere, supplies somewhere else, and nobody is tracking ratio to production.
"New associate offer letters need numbers you don't have"
What's the production-per-chair? What's the realistic collection ratio? What's actual overhead? You're winging it on offer letters because the data takes too long to pull.
"DSO transactions blur the books"
Management fee, equipment lease, real estate rent, support services — all paid to a related entity. Your bookkeeper handles it but compliance and reasonability documentation is fuzzy.
If two or more of these sound familiar, you're our customer. Finneste is built for dentists & orthodontists businesses that have outgrown a generic bookkeeper.
What changes
Production, collection, and insurance A/R — on one screen
Your bookkeeper gives you a P&L. Production lives in the PMS. Insurance A/R lives in a separate report nobody reads. Associate comp is a monthly Excel exercise. Overhead ratio is a guess. You make hiring decisions on partial data.
Production, collection ratio, and insurance A/R by payer — all on one dashboard, monthly. Associate comp calculated automatically per their contract. Overhead ratio tracked vs benchmark. Hiring decisions made with full numbers in front of you.

Everything we cover for dentists & orthodontists
Our old bookkeeper gave us P&Ls. Finneste gives us P&L plus production, plus insurance A/R by payer. I made one decision from that — dropping a slow payer — that paid for their fees twice over.
