Preview of the Agenda:
With the current business issues facing today’s dentists, it is more important than ever to create a team-based approach and build a trusted advisor relationship within the dental arena. During this session, Chris will give an overview of the dental industry and guide you through key elements of developing a successful niche practice. He will highlight the role of the CPA, how to market to dentists, how to create a successful business model, and key services you can bring to market

“Just as dentists rely heavily on their team so does a CPA firm.  In order to provide high quality accounting, tax and business services to dentists we need to develop and educate our team on the specifics of the business of dentistry.  We believe without a real understanding of the dental industry by the CPA the business relationship will be merely that of a tax preparer and the dental community will not reap the full benefits of all the services a highly trained CPA with insight into the dental industry can provider.” 
Chris Torregrossa Director Price Kong Dental Practice Group

Thanks to the generosity of our community, Longview students who needed them have new backpacks and school supplies. In addition, Longview teachers will have classroom supplies including hand sanitizer, tissue, school supplies, recess equipment, copy paper, and dictionaries. Price Kong, who had formerly partnered with Montecito School, raised thousands of dollars to buy school supplies and backpacks for Longview staff and students. Their donation is pictured here in the two pictures in our Science Lab since we had no place else large enough to put everything. On the bottom right is the picture of two of the Disney Store employees and their donation to Longview. Teachers will come through this week to collect supplies. As you can see, we still have a few backpacks in case we missed anyone or have new students who need supplies. We are so grateful to Price Kong and the Disney Store for the generous donation that helps our students and our budget!
