Why & How You Get Paid as a Clinician Business Owner

DEC 17, 202517 MIN

Description

Most clinicians are great at caring for patients—but struggle to understand why and how they actually get paid as business owners. In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, Kevin DeGroat breaks down a practical, clinician-friendly approach to money using an adapted Profit First framework designed specifically for service-based practices where the owner wears every hat. You'll learn why "whatever's left in the bank" is a dangerous way to pay yourself, how to separate your roles as owner, clinician, administrator, and growth leader, and why not all hours in your business are worth the same. Kevin explains: Why bank-balance accounting leads to overspending and underpaying yourself How to think about pay differently as an owner vs. a treating clinician Why administrative work should be paid at a different rate than patient care How understanding role-based pay makes hiring easier (and less emotional) When it actually makes sense to stop seeing patients altogether If you're a solopreneur—or planning to hire your first admin or clinician—this episode will help you build financial clarity, peace, and a sustainable growth plan. 👉 Want help structuring your finances the right way?
