"This month’s issue of Impact offers some guidance for new and seasoned practice owners to better prepare for their financial future. Like the rise and fall of a riverbank, we as private practice owners experience the ups and downs of financial security, yet are fortunate to have a stable profession that offers opportunities to plan for our future. When fiscal distress occurs, both in and out of our control, it is comforting to know that our section colleagues are available to help us overcome."
