Many physician groups overlook or simply don’t understand the importance of their balance sheets, when in fact they’re one of the most important accounting financial statements. A balance sheet provides a basic overview of an organization’s financial health and a snapshot of its stability, and it can help guide future decisions.
It’s essential that physicians understand how to best track and assess balance sheets to determine how efficiently their groups are using capital and managing risks. The stronger the balance sheet, the greater the likelihood an organization will be able to capitalize on future opportunities, grow sensibly, and weather unforeseen challenges.
