About Us
Whether you have been in practice for many years or are establishing a practice for the first time, you know that the business aspects of your practice take your valuable time away from patient care. You may also realize that the business aspects of your practice are complex and time consuming, yet tremendously important and must be addressed. At Michael & Company, CPA, we specialize in providing tax, financial and practice-management services to dental practices throughout California and other states. We've grown our business by helping our clients grow theirs.
We fully understand the difficulties (and the joys) of running a practice and take deep satisfaction in helping local dentist practice owners keep their financial houses in order, save money, avoid mistakes, and free up more time to focus on managing their practice, and less time on their books.
We are honored by the trust and confidence our clients place in our advice and oversight. We continue to deserve your trust by staying abreast of accounting and tax law changes and by taking a proactive interest in the smooth financial management of your dental practice.
