    From Childhood Checkbooks to Physician Finances

    Welcome to the first episode of Profits in Practice, the podcast where medicine meets money. I’m your host, Sarah Webb, Managing Director of Webb CFO and financial strategist for physicians. This show is all about breaking down the numbers, decoding the tax code, and helping doctors build lasting wealth, one episode at a time.

    In This Episode

    In this pilot episode, I share the story of how my lifelong passion for numbers and money management led me to build a career helping physicians strengthen their financial health. You’ll hear about:

    • How my childhood fascination with money began with Valentine’s checkbooks and early stock market “investments” in Disney. My family’s financial conversations at the dinner table were different from most, which shaped my future.

    • My path from studying accounting to working at PricewaterhouseCoopers and Alcon Pharmaceuticals.

    • The moment I realized there was untapped opportunity to help physicians’ practices become more efficient and profitable.

    • Why private practices deserve the same strategic financial guidance as big corporations.

    Key Takeaway

    Your financial wellness is just as important as your patients’ health. With the right strategies, private medical practices can thrive, and physicians can build lasting wealth without sacrificing their calling to care for others.
