Episode #675: Losing Agency Benefits When Starting Private Practice

Update: 2025-08-09

Description

Feeling trapped in agency work because of the benefits?

In today’s Ask Allison, I’m breaking down what it really looks like to leave an agency job for private practice when health insurance, PTO, and retirement plans feel like the golden handcuffs.

We’ll look at the actual numbers—using conservative national averages—so you can see how your take-home pay, time off, and quality of life can change when you’re in control. I’ll also cover how to replace your benefits, what an S Corp can save you in taxes, and why “free” perks at your agency might be costing you more than you think.

By the end, you’ll have a clear picture of what’s possible—and the steps you can take right now to get there.
