Starting a private practice means forgoing some stability and certainty an agency position may bring. Once you are on your own, there won’t be any automatic contributions to your IRA plan from an employer, and there wouldn’t be an agency to manage your IRA account. From there, the responsibility of planning for your financial future falls solely on you. It is therefore important for private practice solo practitioners or group practice owners to empower themselves with financial knowledge that help them make informed short-term and long-term financial decisions for their practice and personal wellbeing. 

We invite Charlie, a certified financial planner, who is passionate about working with small business owners, like mental health professionals, to share some foundational knowledge on retirement financial planning.
