An ABA clinic can bring in millions and still struggle to make payroll. Kurston Williams, founder of Bounce Back Financial, explains why cash can remain tight even as a practice grows, and how better financial systems can help clinic owners make stronger decisions. He also shares how a serious car accident, a long recovery, and his experience as a father shaped his work in ABA.
In this episode, Kurston discusses:
- Why strong revenue or paper profits don’t always mean cash is available
- How reimbursement rates and fee schedules affect margins
- Why billing, accounting, and financial planning need to work together
- How cash flow and strong systems can prepare a clinic to grow
- How his son’s autism journey shaped his perspective on advocacy and care
