Annette WoodsFinancial Flossing: Guiding Dental Professionals to a Brighter Future with Ross Brannon Episode 031: Financial Wisdom from a Bookkeeping Perspective Annette Woods is a 1983 graduate of the University of Michigan Dental Hygiene School. She worked for 35+ years as a dental hygienist in many different types of dental practices from general dentistry to periodontics. Her experience also included working for HMO, PPO and Private pay offices. She became familiar with the different ways these offices were run. Twenty-five of these years were spent practicing dental hygiene in South Florida and becoming very familiar with the inner workings that made successful dental offices. Annette later moved to North Florida, where she also owned and helped run several businesses with her husband Steve, along with still practicing Dental hygiene. This led to a need for acquiring bookkeeping skills. In January of 2016, Annette’s husband passed away and she made the decision to change her life and have a more flexible career in order to spend time with her teenage son and be at all his school events. She however, did not want to waste her years of knowledge in the dental industry and her passion for helping people. So, she then went on to acquire more advanced training in the virtual bookkeeping world, which included mastering many of today's technologies available. She has become very active in bookkeeping mastermind groups and is one of the founding members in the Digital Bookkeeping Association. Annette has also worked virtually for a dental consulting firm learning more about dental specific bookkeeping. Becoming a Quickbooks ProAdvisor, using professional bookkeeping training and her many years of dental experience she formed her own bookkeeping firm, Bookkeeping Aesthetics, LLC. Her firm has put together the latest and most accurate systems to help dentists understand their practice better and build a healthy and more prosperous practice.
