Managing Your Finances
Many young professionals fail to develop a sound financial strategy at the start of their careers. At this time, when expenditures may exceed income, the development of a strategy is important to ensure the appropriate capital structure for your practice while at the same time ensuring a balance between personal debt repayment, your immediate financial needs and saving for the future.
- Project cash flows from your practice - When you open your practice, you may have a negative cash flow situation until you can generate a healthy client base to turn the negative into a positive
- Develop a saving and spending program personally - Determine how you will pay off your student loans while maintaining a reasonable lifestyle
- Start as soon as possible - Time is a major factor in long-term financial security
- Schedule regular reviews with your advisor and integrate any changes into your goals.
