What does good financial management entail? How do you determine a budget and put strong internal controls into place? The financial side of business can seem too difficult to decode, and the steps needed to improve margins can be elusive.

AAHA has got you covered! In this new podcast series by AAHA Press, Marsha Heinke, author of Practice Made Perfect: A Complete Guide to Veterinary Practice Management, discusses common pain points her clients face. One big issue is how to practice good financial management and ground yourself in the language of business.

In the third episode in this podcast series, Marsha discusses how to tackle the financial beast and implement internal controls, including steps you can take to increase revenue and prevent theft and the importance of training the practice tream to invoice and code properly.
