This quick tip episode of the Private Practice Survival Guide breaks down the crucial difference between Forecasting and Projections in private practice financial planning. Forecasting relies on historical data, trends, and KPIs to stabilize operations—helping practices anticipate revenue cycles, manage cash flow, and set realistic budgets for staffing and resources. Projections, on the other hand, fuel innovation by modeling “what-if” growth scenarios such as adding new services, expanding locations, or adjusting payer contracts. Brandon shares practical examples of using forecasts to prepare for seasonal revenue shifts and projections to stress-test strategic moves, while also addressing common pitfalls like over-optimism and ignoring anomalies. The key takeaway: balance both tools to stay financially grounded yet growth-focused, enabling your practice to remain agile, profitable, and future-ready.
