What it is
An Excel workbook

10 connected tabs. Enter your monthly numbers once. The workbook calculates your operating health, flags variances, projects cash runway, and tracks implied practice value over time.

Who it's for
Independent clinic operators

Solo or multi-provider practices in 12 healthcare specialties across Canada and the US. Designed for owner-operators who want professional financial visibility without hiring a fractional CFO.

What it gives you
CFO-grade analysis under non-CFO ergonomics

Trailing 3-month KPI tracking. DSCR, working capital, owner comp ratios, revenue per visit — every metric compared to published benchmarks for your specific specialty and country.

The Problem This Solves

Your bookkeeping software shows you what happened. It doesn't tell you what matters.

QuickBooks and Wave produce P&Ls. Your accountant produces year-end statements. Neither shows you how your operating margin or DSCR compares to published ranges for your specialty — or how those numbers are trending month to month, between reviews.

Without this workbook
You're operating blind between accountant reviews.
  • You know your revenue but not how it compares to published ranges for your specialty.
  • You see expenses but can't tell which line is structurally too high.
  • You don't know your DSCR until the lender's annual review.
  • You guess at cash runway, especially in slow months.
  • You have no idea what your practice would sell for if you needed to exit.
  • By the time your accountant flags a trend, it's been six months.
With this workbook
You see what a CFO would see — every month.
  • Six KPIs benchmarked against published industry data for your specialty.
  • Auto-detected variance flags when a metric drifts outside its published reference range.
  • DSCR tracked monthly with lender-relevant thresholds called out.
  • 12-month forward cash projection with stress scenarios.
  • Implied practice value at floor, mid-market, and premium multiples.
  • Year-over-year rollups with growth percentages built in.
What's Inside

Ten tabs. Five deliver headline value. Five document and reference.

The workbook is structured so a non-finance operator can be productive in five minutes — but the depth is there when you want to go deeper.

1
Operating Health Dashboard
Six KPIs, six trend charts, automated observations.

The headline tab. Revenue per visit, net operating margin, staff cost %, DSCR, working capital months, owner compensation % — each shown as a trailing 3-month average against your specialty's published benchmark range. Color-coded status badges tell you at a glance: HEALTHY, WATCH, ACTION NEEDED, or NO DATA YET.

Status badges for every metric — descriptive, not prescriptive
Six trend line charts with your data plotted against the specialty benchmark median
Auto-generated observations highlighting healthy patterns and areas worth investigating

2
Variance & Alerts
Auto-detects nine specific anomaly types as you enter data.

Most clinic owners don't realize a problem is brewing until quarter-end. This tab catches it the month it happens. Margin drops 5+ points vs the prior quarter? Flagged. DSCR falls below 1.20x? Flagged. Working capital under 2 months? Flagged. Each alert includes the specific value that triggered it and what to investigate.

9 detection rules running across every month of data
Critical vs Watch severity badges in a chronological watch list
Specific values ("DSCR of 0.86x — below the 1.20x covenant-stressed threshold") plus investigation guidance for each

3
Cash Runway
Forward-looking liquidity forecast with stress scenarios.

Your accountant tells you cash on hand at quarter-end. This tab tells you how many months you have if revenue drops 30%. Base case projection plus four stress scenarios: revenue declines of 10/20/30% and a 15% opex inflation. A 12-month forward projection table shows month-by-month cash position under each scenario, with the depletion month called out.

Five scenarios projected 12 months forward — base, revenue stress, opex inflation, worst case
Depletion month identified for each scenario, color-coded for urgency

4
Practice Value Tracker
Implied practice valuation, updated every month.

Most clinic owners only learn their practice's value when they go to sell — and they're often surprised, in both directions. This tab calculates your implied practice value using trailing-12-month EBITDA multiplied by specialty-specific transaction multiples from published M&A data. Three tiers: floor (distressed sale), mid-market (typical), premium (highly desirable). A history table shows how your valuation has trended as performance changed.

Annual Summary
Year-over-year rollups with growth percentages.

Auto-aggregates monthly data into Year 1 / Year 2 / Year 3 columns across every P&L line. Growth percentages calculated automatically. Six key operating ratios pulled out separately, each compared to your specialty's published median. This is the view your accountant or a potential acquirer will want to see — already in a format they recognize.

Monthly Entry
Your monthly five-minute workflow.

36 months of capacity. 22 columns per month: visits, gross revenue, write-offs, eight expense categories, owner draws, principal and interest, ending cash. Yellow input cells, calculated derivatives, hover comments on every column header. Conditional formatting flags negative operating income or missing months. Bottom row auto-totals everything.

The workbook isn't a substitute for an accountant or a CFO when you need one. It's the visibility layer between accountant reviews — the thing that helps you ask better questions when you do meet with them.

Methodology & Sources

Where the reference ranges come from.

The workbook compares your numbers against published industry reference ranges. Here is how those ranges are sourced and what they are — and aren't — intended to do.

Compiled from published industry sources.

The reference ranges are compiled from publicly available industry research — professional-association surveys, transaction databases, government statistical agencies, and specialty-specific industry reports — as of 2026. They represent typical published ranges, not verified figures for any individual practice.

Marketdata Enterprises — physical therapy industry reports
IBIS World, CIHI — sector profiles
ADA Health Policy Institute, Dental Economics — dental data
AmSpa — med spa industry surveys
Heard Financial, APA — mental health practice data
BVR, IBBA, Peak Business Valuation — transaction multiples
Ranges for general reference — not advice or guarantees.

The workbook calibrates by specialty and country. For the metrics where geography matters most (revenue per visit, rent percentage), the published low-to-high range is intended to span that variation rather than pinpoint a single figure. The ranges are a general reference point, not a determination of whether any practice is healthy, and not professional advice.

Ranges, not point estimates — the workbook presents low / mid / high, not a single "right" number
Descriptive, not prescriptive — it shows where your numbers fall relative to published ranges; it does not tell you what to do
Point-in-time snapshot — ranges reflect sources compiled as of 2026 and are not updated within the file after purchase
You interpret the output — the comparisons are a starting point for your own judgment and conversations with your professionals
Not a substitute for professionals — the workbook does not replace your accountant, financial advisor, lender, or business valuator
Honest Questions

What buyers ask before purchasing.

If your question isn't here, email support@klindeck.com and we'll answer it before you buy.

Will this work for my specialty?
If your specialty is one of the 12 (physiotherapy, chiropractic, dental general, orthodontics, dental specialist, med spa, mental health, rehab/allied health, podiatry, optometry, audiology, or IV therapy/wellness), the reference ranges are calibrated specifically for it. If you run a general medical, family practice, or walk-in clinic, the workbook's tracking and projection engine still works fully — monthly KPIs, cash runway, DSCR, variance detection, and the practice-value framework all apply to any practice. The one piece that won't apply is the specialty-benchmark comparison, because general medical spans too many sub-types for a single published range to be meaningful. You'd get the complete tracking tool, just without the "how do I compare to my field" layer.
What if I'm not a finance person?
The workbook is built for that. The Start Here tab walks you through setup in five minutes. The Setup tab is one selection (your specialty) and a few numbers (starting cash, debt service, opening date). After that, you enter your monthly numbers in yellow cells on the Monthly Entry tab. The Dashboard interprets everything automatically. Hover comments explain every input column. You don't need a finance background — you need 30 minutes of focused time to set it up, then five minutes per month to update.
How is this different from the free Financial Dashboard on your website?
The free Dashboard is a single-month snapshot. You enter this month's numbers, you see how they compare to benchmarks for one moment in time. Useful, but limited — your data doesn't persist, you can't track trends, and you can't do forward projections. The workbook is built for longitudinal use: 36 months of capacity, trend tracking, variance detection, forward cash projections, and implied practice valuation over time. Think of the free Dashboard as a sample of what the workbook does for a single month. The workbook is the full longitudinal version.
Does it work on Mac? Google Sheets?
The workbook is built for Microsoft Excel (.xlsx format) on both Windows and Mac, and works in Excel 2016 and newer. It opens in Google Sheets and most formulas carry over, though a few of the more advanced array calculations render best in Excel — for the full experience, Excel is recommended. The file uses standard spreadsheet functions only: no macros, no VBA, nothing that requires enabling security exceptions.
What's actually in it? Can I see before I buy?
The screenshots on this page are pulled directly from a working copy of the workbook populated with sample data — not mockups. If you want to see a deeper preview before purchasing, the free Financial Dashboard on KlinDeck.com gives you a working sample of the Dashboard tab's logic and the benchmark approach used throughout the workbook. The workbook's structure is documented in detail in the comparison table and feature sections above.
Will the data really stay on my computer?
Yes. The workbook is a standalone Excel file. You download it once and run it locally. Your financial data never leaves your computer or your control. There's no cloud syncing, no analytics tracking, no telemetry. We don't see your numbers and we don't want to. Your data stays yours.
Is KlinDeck building anything beyond this workbook?
Yes. KlinDeck is building toward a connected financial-intelligence platform for independent clinic operators — the workbook is one piece of a larger product direction. What you're buying here is a complete, self-contained file: you download it, it's yours, and it works on its own with no subscription, no login, and no dependency on anything we ship later. If and when broader platform tools become available, they'll be offered separately; your workbook keeps working exactly as it is regardless.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. If the workbook doesn't deliver what's described on this page, email us within 30 days at support@klindeck.com and we'll refund your purchase, no questions asked. We'd rather refund a dissatisfied buyer than have them recommend against us. We're betting most buyers will be glad they bought it — but if you're not, we won't make it hard.
Do I need a CFO or accountant on top of this?
Yes — for different things. Your accountant produces your tax-ready financial statements, files your returns, and gives you the official year-end view. This workbook gives you the operating visibility between those reviews. Think of it this way: your accountant produces the financial truth of what happened. This workbook helps you see what matters before it shows up in next quarter's statements. Most operators find the workbook makes their accountant meetings more productive because they walk in knowing which numbers to ask about.
Who built this?
KlinDeck is a financial-intelligence platform for independent clinic operators, operated by Northtote Ltd. (Alberta, Canada). KlinDeck.com publishes free planning tools, industry reference benchmarks, and operating content for clinic owners, and is building toward a broader connected platform for the segment. We have no affiliation with any clinic franchise, equipment vendor, or financial-services company — our only incentive is building tools operators actually find useful.
