Professional Practice Consultants

Professional Practice Consultants works exclusively with dentists, offering practice consulting, accounting, financial planning, tax, and brokerage services since forming in 2000 under Daniel Welch and Lori Stadler. James Plescia, a Dental Practice Broker and Transition Consultant with 40 years of sales and consulting experience, supports valuation and transition work. PPC has built more than 80 dental practices from scratch, giving the firm direct experience with start-up mechanics beyond advisory work alone.

The firm applies a 15-point evaluation methodology for buyers, sellers, partners, lenders, and retirement planning, organized into eight modules covering everything from scratch start-up through team development, OSHA/HIPAA compliance, technology, and profitability assessment. An in-house team spanning accounting, consulting, legal, and financial expertise handles monthly close and bookkeeping, financial statements, peer benchmarking, KPI and overhead analysis, and payroll and compliance support. Financial reporting is paired with aggressive tax planning and benchmarked against peer data, with guidance delivered in plain-English terms rather than technical jargon.
