From trusted numbers to better decisions.

Software computes every figure. Aster explains them, ranks what deserves attention, and models what comes next.

  1. Understand

    See what came in, what went out, and what is left, with every figure tied to its source to the penny, or marked when it is not.

  2. Explain

    Ask about any number in the practice. Aster answers from computed figures only, and each number links to where it came from.

  3. Prioritize

    Exceptions first. Home is a briefing, not a wall of KPIs, and it names the one decision worth making this week.

  4. Model

    Test a hire, a purchase, a pay model, or a practice acquisition in the Scenario Lab before you commit to it.

  5. Recommend

    Opportunities arrive sized in dollars, with how sure Aster is. The decision stays with you.

  6. Track

    Decisions are kept with what Aster projected and what happened, so money recovered, protected, saved, or created is confirmed.

One financial director across a dental career.

Tell Aster where you are. It changes what it shows, what it watches, and what it asks you to connect.

  • Associate or new dentist

    Nothing to connect. Pay, offers, benefits, debt, savings, and whether and when to own.

    Career · Ownership

  • Future owner or buyer

    Nothing to connect. Upload a seller's documents. Aster checks them, prices the deal, and builds the offer memo and lender packet.

    Ownership · Growth

  • Solo owner

    Connect QuickBooks. Bring practice totals in by CSV, manual entry, or the connector if you run Open Dental.

    Command Center · CFO · Revenue

  • Partner

    Buy-in economics, deal structure, debt service, distributions, and valuation.

    Ownership · CFO

  • Selling dentist

    Same connections as an owner. What a buyer will find, value tracked monthly, cleanup before listing.

    Valuation · Reports

Every screen works without a PMS connection.

Uploaded documents
Due diligence runs on the documents any broker sends: tax returns, statements, production reports, fee schedule, lease. Aster reads each one and checks them against each other.
Your own inputs
Career and ownership tools need nothing connected: pay models, offer comparison, debt and savings, and ownership readiness.
CSV import
Practice totals can come in by CSV when there is no connection to your practice software.
Manual entry
Or type the totals in. Aster uses them and stamps each figure as your input.

Open Dental first.

At launch, Aster brings in automatic, source-verified practice totals for Open Dental. Other systems are added only after Aster ties to their own reports to the penny.

Verified at source

On another system?

Everything else works for you today: due diligence on documents, the career and ownership tools, QuickBooks, and practice totals by CSV or manual entry. The waitlist asks which system you use, so demand decides what comes next.

Tell us your system

Computed, never generated.

Figures come from software working on your sources, not from a language model. Every figure is stamped with its evidence, so you know why you can trust the number.

Verified at source
Totals computed at the source system and tied to its own report.
Documents agree
Two or more uploaded documents report the same figure.
From one document
One document reports the figure and nothing else confirms it yet.
Your input
A figure you typed in. Aster uses it and says so.

Nine visible agents. Clear authority ceilings.

Aster, Financial Director

Coordinates the team, writes the briefs, names the one decision worth making, and grades past decisions.

Aster is the Financial Director over 8 domain agents. They model and recommend. Nothing is sent or written without the owner's approval.

  • Practice CFO

    Profitability, production, collections, overhead, cash, budgets, forecasts, and owner pay.

  • Revenue Intelligence

    Receivables, collection performance, aging, leakage, and what to work first.

  • Payer Economics

    Payer mix, reimbursement, write-offs, fee gaps, participation scenarios, and the negotiation packet.

  • Growth and Capital

    Hiring, equipment, operatories, hours, second locations, financing, and the Scenario Lab.

  • Career and Compensation

    Pay models, offers, benefits, debt, savings, and ownership readiness.

  • Ownership

    Associate against owner, startup against acquisition, partnership, buy-in, and financing.

  • Valuation and Deal

    Valuation, normalized earnings, due diligence in six phases, deal comparison, and exit readiness.

  • Financial Controls

    Deposit variance, unusual adjustments and write-offs, vendor checks, and anything that looks like a control failure.

Home is a briefing, not a wall of KPIs.

The Command Center: what happened, what needs you, and the one decision worth making this week. Every figure carries its stamp.
