About this session
Clareo Dental Management is a 100% Quebec-owned dental network that brings general dentists and specialists in periodontics, orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery under one banner. Its finance team ran all of FP&A, including pro forma and scenario modelling, inside a 20+ tab workbook, with assumptions detailed down to the day of the week each person worked at each clinic.
It worked, until the acquisition plan made it clear it would not keep working.
In this session, Simon Dumais walks through why Clareo moved to Vena before the model broke, not after, and how a finance-owned platform changed the way the team plans headcount, OPEX, revenue and COGS across a growing clinic network.
