How Practice Owners Save Thousands on Their Tax Filing

April 1st, 1pm EST
Tax season is in full swing, and most healthcare practice owners have the same question: am I leaving money on the table?

We’ll walk through the strategies that consistently save healthcare practice owners thousands on their tax filing, answer your specific questions in real time, and stick around for open office hours so you can get personalized guidance on your situation.

SESSION 2

Staying Ahead When the Rules Keep Changing: Financial Strategies for ABA Providers

April 8th, 1pm EST
Proactive financial planning isn’t optional anymore; it’s imperative for ABA providers who want to maintain stability and keep services running. In this session, Flychain’s financial experts, specialized in helping ABA organizations understand their finances and manage cash flow more effectively, will share practical insights to help ABA leaders stay financially resilient and prepared, even as the rules keep changing.
SESSION 3

Financial Clarity for ABA Therapy Leaders

April 22nd, 1pm EST
You didn't get an MBA with your BCBA, but the moment you opened your practice, you became the CFO. Most ABA owners are making financial decisions without the right framework, the right benchmarks, or even a chart of accounts that reflects how their business actually works.

This session fixes that.

What we’ll cover:
What a healthcare-specific chart of accounts should look like for ABA, and why generic QuickBooks categories are hiding critical information about your business
How to read your P&L and income statement like a business owner, not just a tax document
The profitability benchmarks that matter for ABA practices (including net profit margin, gross margin, direct labor as a % of revenue, and admin cost targets) and where your practice should be
A simple framework to diagnose whether your practice is financially healthy, at risk, or already heading toward trouble
Who is it for:
ABA practice owners who want to understand their financials instead of hand them off to an accountant and hope for the best.
SESSION 4

Bookkeeping & Financial Management for ABA Clinics

April 29th, 1pm EST
Understanding your numbers is one thing. Staying on top of them month after month is another. Too many ABA practice owners only look at their financials once a year at tax time, and by then, the problems they could have caught months ago have already done their damage.

This session is about what good ongoing financial management actually looks like, what you should be seeing from your bookkeeper every month, and how to tell if you're getting the visibility you need.
What we’ll cover:
What a strong monthly financial review should look like: what you should be receiving, what questions to ask, and the red flags that mean your books aren't giving you the full picture
The specific KPIs to track each month (revenue by payer, payroll as a % of revenue, denial rates, cash runway) and how to spot warning signs before they become emergencies
How to connect operational data (utilization rates, cancellations, authorization usage) to your financial outcomes, so you can see where margin is leaking
What financial dashboards and benchmarking can do for your practice, and the difference between bookkeeping that's "done for compliance" vs. bookkeeping that's done for decision-making
Who is it for:
ABA practice owners who feel like they don't have a clear picture of their financial health or suspect their current bookkeeping setup isn't giving them what they need.
SESSION 5

Managing Cash Flow — A Strategic Guide for ABA Practices

May 6th, 1pm EST
Payers sit on your money for 30, 60, sometimes 90+ days. Payroll hits every two weeks no matter what. That timing mismatch is the single biggest financial stressor for ABA practices, and it pushes good owners into bad financial decisions.

This session is about understanding the cash flow dynamics specific to ABA and having a plan before you're in crisis mode.
What we’ll cover:
Why keeping your books closed and up to date every month is a cash flow tool (not just a tax obligation) and how it helps you see problems forming before they hit
How to budget and forecast around ABA's natural seasonality (holidays, summer dips, school transitions) instead of being surprised every year
What healthy expense ratios look like for ABA practices, and how to spot payroll creep, vendor overruns, and other cost issues before they erode your margins
Your capital options when cash gets tight: what's fair, what's predatory, and what lenders actually look for when evaluating an ABA practice
Who is it for:
ABA practice owners dealing with payer delays, seasonal cash crunches, or considering taking on capital for the first time.
SESSION 6

Payer Mix, Contracted Rate Benchmarking & Negotiations

May 13th, 1pm EST
Most ABA practice owners have no idea whether their contracted rates are good, bad, or somewhere in between — and payers are counting on it. Even a small per-unit difference on a single CPT code can add up to tens of thousands in lost revenue per clinician per year.

This session is about closing that information gap and taking control of your payer relationships.
You’ll walk away with:
Why payer mix matters: how over-reliance on a single payer (especially Medicaid) puts your practice at risk, and what a healthier mix looks like
How to benchmark your contracted rates against market data using publicly available Transparency in Coverage Act data
What to actually expect when negotiating commercial rates as an independent practice: the process, the data you need, and realistic timelines
How to strengthen your case beyond just arguing about numbers, using outcomes data, clinical quality, and geographic coverage
When it makes sense to bring in a rate negotiation consultant, and how to evaluate if it's worth it
Who is it for:
ABA practice owners who haven't renegotiated their contracts recently, or who've never had the data to know if their rates are competitive.
