Taxes are not just an April problem. They are shaped by the systems and decisions you build throughout the year.In this episode, I sit down with CPA Alan Pruitt from The Therapist CPA to talk about what therapists often miss when it comes to taxes, bookkeeping, and profitability in private practice. Alan works exclusively with therapists, and he breaks down the financial concepts clinicians actually need in plain language.We explore why so many therapists feel stressed even when they are fully booked, how messy bookkeeping leads to missed deductions, and why understanding your numbers is critical for long-term sustainability.This conversation is not about becoming a tax expert. It is about building enough clarity and structure to support the kind of practice you actually want to maintain.In this episode, we cover:• The three financial numbers every therapist should track• Why therapists often overpay in taxes without realizing it• How S Corps and retirement planning can reduce tax burden• The connection between financial sustainability and burnout preventionIf you are building a private practice, tax planning is not separate from clinical sustainability. Clear systems reduce stress, improve decision-making, and help you keep more of what you earn.Want to work with Alan directly? Check out The Therapist CPA.Want to learn more?
