Meet the Panelists

Four Experts Who Know Where the Money Goes

Panelist 01Melissa Leavitt

Melissa Leavitt

Founder & Fractional CFO for Dental & Healthcare · Keystone Advisors

Melissa Leavitt is the Founder & Fractional CFO of Keystone Advisors, where she provides CFO-level business advisory services to independently owned dental and healthcare practices across the Pacific Northwest, with remote clients as well. Her background is unique for the field: she started as a certified dental assistant before spending 15 years in corporate finance, giving her a rare combination of clinical-floor experience and financial expertise. That path shapes how she works with clients — she speaks the language of both the practice and the balance sheet. She's passionate about helping owners connect the operational and financial dots so they can make more confident decisions — all while taking care of their team and their patients.

She specializes in embezzlement investigations, revenue integrity, internal controls, and proactive financial safeguarding, while also coaching dental teams on accountability, operational excellence, and practice growth. Amber is an international speaker who is passionate about helping dentists build stronger, more profitable, and more secure practices.

Panelist 03Michael Dinsio, MBA

Michael Dinsio, MBA

Founder & Co-Owner, Dental Practice Consultant & Business Strategist · Next Level Consultants

Michael Dinsio is an experienced and highly respected dental practice consultant who has helped hundreds, if not thousands, of doctors through a dental practice startup or the purchase of an existing practice. He started in the industry as a banker helping doctors secure financing, and over time discovered his true passion was consulting and helping dentists become business owners. Wanting to further their careers rather than simply arrange a loan, he left corporate banking to become a self-employed dental consultant. Michael gives you the information you need without the fluff, and will always give you the answer you're looking for or connect you with someone who can better serve you. His depth of understanding of the business of dentistry, combined with his experience in the wider business world, sets him apart. Having contributed to projects and deals nationwide, he brings valuable expertise across diverse markets to any venture.

Panelist 04Rick Garofolo

Rick Garofolo

CEO & President · The Dental Practice Mechanics

Rick founded The Dental Practice Mechanics as the company's chief executive officer and president in 2001, after marrying a dentist and seeing the real need for business management education and hands-on help with practice growth. The Dental Practice Mechanics are set up differently from their competitors: Rick takes pride in a close-knit team that works together as full-time, in-house employees, with no overseas or work-from-home outsourcing. Over the years, Rick has contributed to the business of dentistry through proper accounting techniques, recall and follow-up system creation, proper treatment plan presentation, and more than 20 other systems. Knowing what is expected and required of you increases bottom-line profits, creates a safe environment for staff and patients, and helps dentists sleep well at night.

What We'll Cover

Five Numbers That Tell You Where the Money Goes

01

The four numbers to know weekly

The handful of figures that tell you how the practice is really doing — and why checking them weekly beats waiting for the month-end statement.

→
02

Overhead benchmarks — and when they mislead

Industry percentages are a starting point, not a verdict. When your practice should look different from the benchmark, and when the gap is a warning sign.

→
03

Why collections tell the real story

Production looks great on a report. Collections pay the bills. How to read the gap between them and what it says about your systems.

→
04

Reading a P&L in ten minutes

A simple walk-through of the profit and loss statement so you can spot what matters, skip what doesn't, and ask your accountant better questions.

→
05

Spotting problems before they hit cash flow

The early signals in your numbers that show trouble coming weeks before the bank balance does — and what to do when you see them.
