Key idea

An AFC center covers its own costs at 29.6 patients a day. The 156 centers opened since 2021 average 29.6. Everything above that line falls almost straight through, because the cost of running the building changes littlebetween a center seeing 22 patients a day and one seeing 57. The difference is $130,426 of operating expense against $1,858,139 of revenue.

  1. The break-even day is 29.6 patients. Between the filed $70,959 of profit at 32.0 patients a day and the filed loss of $45,895 at 28.1 *, about 10,759 visits a year.
  2. The 156 centers opened since 2021 average 29.6 patients a day. Against 40.0 for the 214 open by 2020, a gap of 10.4 patients a day and $546,110 of revenue.
  3. Running costs move $130,426 while revenue moves $1,858,139. $586,273 of operating expense at the lowest-selling tenth against $716,699 at the highest-selling *, so patient 30 and patient 50 cost about the same to serve.
  4. Total cost a visit falls from $152.41 to $94.00 as the day fills. $58.41 a visit *, and the direct patient-care line alone falls $21.46, from $80.68 to $59.22.
  5. Georgia's six centers see 19.5 patients a day and out-earn Florida's fourteen at 27.3. $150.76 collected a visit against $105.36 *, a $45.40 gap that beats 7.8 patients a day.

Questions worth putting to AFC Urgent Care

The filing answers what it answers. These are the gaps an owner or a buyer should close directly.

  1. Is the profit figure in Item 19 before or after owner pay, and how many locations sit below it?
  2. What separates the highest-selling locations from the lowest: trade area, years open, size, or the owner?
  3. How long does a new location take to reach the average you publish, and what does the build-up look like month by month?
  4. At what level of sales do the minimum charges stop applying and the percentage take over?
  5. How many AFC Urgent Care locations closed, were sold, or changed hands last year, and why?

What happens next

Everything above came out of a filing. Doing it on your own numbers means the books have to produce the same lines: sales, wages, occupancy, fees and what is left, by location, every month. That is the work.

  1. The call, twenty minutesYou describe the business and where the numbers are letting you down. We tell you honestly whether we can help, and what we would start with. No pitch deck.
  2. We look at the fileYou give us read access to the books as they are. We come back with what is wrong, what it will take to fix, and whether the answer is bookkeeping, controller work, or something else.
  3. A written scope and a priceWhat we do each month, what you get, the date it lands, and the fee. Agreed before anything starts, and it does not move without you agreeing it.
  4. Transition, then the first closeAccess, systems, and the opening balances. The first close lands on the date in the scope, and every one after it does too.

Averan is not a CPA firm and does not file taxes. Your CPA keeps that, and we keep the books they file from.
