The Problem

Practices break generic bookkeeping.

A practice’s books fail differently. Insurance reimbursements arrive months late and short-paid. Production and collections drift apart with no one tracking the gap. Owner pay, distributions, and practice profit tangle into one number nobody can explain.

Generic bookkeeping records the deposits. To run a practice you need production-versus-collections truth, staff and supply ratios benchmarked against healthy practices, and financials clean enough that an equipment lender or practice buyer says yes quickly.

  • — Collections lag production — and nobody tracks the gap
  • — Owner pay, distributions & practice profit tangled
  • — No benchmarking against healthy practice ratios
  • — Financials not lender-ready for equipment or buildout
  • — Payroll & compliance eating admin time
Southern California Roots

Local depth. National reach.

Keel has run the books for Southern California businesses since 2006 — including dental practices, medical groups, and specialty clinics across San Diego County, Orange County, and greater Los Angeles. We know the local landscape, California payroll and compliance, and the operators your business runs alongside.

Headquartered in Oceanside — and because the whole engagement runs through your cloud stack and client portal, we serve companies anywhere in the country just as well.

In Good Company

Practices we keep on course.

"We came from Barcelona and made a start-up in Santa Monica in 2013. We didn't know anything about the bookkeeping and the DOAAR people were well prepared to help us. They have been of great help in our business and allowed us to start with an affordable price. Daniel and Natalie answer our emails always in the first 24h."

FAQ

Straight answers.

Can you get our financials lender-ready?

Yes. Clean, current, properly categorized financials are the baseline deliverable — the kind equipment lenders, banks, and practice buyers accept without a second pass.

Do you benchmark against other practices?

Yes. We track staff cost, supplies, lab, and occupancy as percentages of collections and compare them against healthy practice ranges — so you know exactly where money is leaking.

Do you replace our CPA?

No — we complement them. We run the monthly accounting and finance function; your CPA keeps tax strategy and filings. We coordinate directly so nothing falls between us.

What does it cost?

Value-based and transparent — built from a published service catalog, not hourly billing. Build your own estimate in about two minutes. No contact info required.

When does a practice need a controller or CFO?

A controller, once providers or locations multiply and the close gets complex. A CFO, for the big decisions: buildouts, acquisitions, associate buy-ins, and evaluating a DSO offer.
