Services
Four Quadrants offers three main consulting services for dentists: financial planning, tax advice, and help with practice transitions.
- Financial planning — Four Quadrants uses a three-pronged approach to helping dentists achieve a healthy and viable financial situation. The company helps you 1) run a smart practice, 2) control your tax situation, and 3) manage your cash flow. Dentists don’t often have the business experience to do these things well, and Four Quadrants can serve as your external CFO to help you make sound financial decisions.
- Tax advice — Four Quadrants helps you see the tax blind spots your practice has, and helps you get your taxes in order long before April rolls around. The company offers a number of tax tips and assures you that its tax professionals will be able to help you reduce debt and lower your end-of-year tax bill through some simple planning measures.
- Practice transition help — Four Quadrants’ team can help you start thinking about who will take over your practice after you retire, long before you might think you need to worry about it. This will make your life easier now and in the future, and ensure a more seamless transition when the time is right.

The Bad
- Pricing Not Listed
- Unclear Process
Pricing Not Listed
While Four Quadrants advertises that it will help your dental practice increase its bottom line, the company offers no information about how much it charges for its advisory services. This is fairly standard for consulting companies, but as a consumer, you don’t always know what you’re getting into if the company doesn’t list any pricing.
Unclear Process
While Four Quadrants seems to offer plenty of advisory services, the logistics of how it works with individual practices is a little unclear. The company is based in Indiana and mentions in-person meetings, but in terms of working with practices entirely remotely, we’re not quite sure how that would look, and the company doesn’t provide information on that process.
The Bottom Line
The specifics in terms of pricing and process are not super clear on Four Quadrants’ website. However, its commitment to help dental practices be more financially sound and its expertise in doing so are evident.
You can submit your information on the company’s site and get a complimentary practice assessment if you think your dental practice could benefit from Four Quadrants’ advice.
