About Us
20+ years of passion for the dental industry
DSOs and group practices are in a growing and complex market. Between dealing with insurance providers, getting accurate financial reporting, or working with dental boards in multiple states, operating multiple dental locations can be challenging!
AccruDent Foundations
Where does the name AccruDent come from? After several bad ideas we won't mention here, Ken took driver's seat and Dallin took shotgun on a ten hour car trip and threw out every name idea they could think of. The end result? Many protein bar wrappers, an empty gas tank, and the name "AccruDent".
"Accrue" comes from the old French word "acreue", which means to grow, increase, or gather.
The French language has special significance to Ken, who learned it while living in Canada as a young adult. The meaning of the word perfectly captures the mission of AccruDent which is to gather the brightest minds and best resources in dentistry to help organizations grow!
Why the name AccruDent?
Ken and Dallin have a combined 20+ years of experience working in dental. After helping each other solve problems for years, eventually they decided to take their hard-earned knowledge and offer it to the world.
Just like that, AccruDent was born!
Ken thrives as an executive in high-growth organizations; since 2004, Ken has served in CFO and President/CFO roles in venture capital and private equity-backed organizations, helping to drive growth of 3 to 10x during his tenure at each. Ken founded AccruDent to help Dental Finance Leaders and DSOs grow and scale. Ken earned a business degree from BYU and an MBA from the University of Georgia.
Ken and his wife have been married for 26 years, and they have eight amazing children ages 26 to 9. Ken credits his wife, family, and faith as the source of any good he is able to accomplish!
Ken Kaufman
Nothing is more fun for Dallin than leveraging modern technology in combination with good processes and procedures to solve business problems. He has been working around DSOs since he was 17, and is passionate about seeing them succeed.
Dallin graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's Degree in Cybersecurity. Now fully focused on AccruDent, he specializes in working with PMS data and automating processes that empower a single accountant to do the work of ten.
Outside of work, he's an optimistic, high-energy person who is happily married to his beautiful wife, Clara. When he's not deep in PMS data, you can probably find him hiking, running, or getting into "nerd stuff" with friends and family.

Our Team
Our Core Values
These values are a fundamental part of the way that we do business. To us it's more than a slogan on a wall or a mantra repeated at meetings, it's a commitment to ourselves and our customers of who we are.
Collaboration
We seek to understand before being understood. It may be challenging to step into another person’s shoes, but as we do, conflicts resolve, and relationships improve. We are more concerned with what is right than who is right. We will accomplish much more together by combining our diverse skill sets and perspectives with open and transparent communication.
Abundance
We do not worry if the glass is half empty or half full because we know it is refillable! There are enough resources, opportunities, and successes to go around for everyone. Some fruits of an abundance mindset include gratitude, generosity, and optimism. We view setbacks as temporary, and as opportunities to learn, improve, grow, and practice faith. This leads to resilience, or the ability to weather whatever challenges come our way.
Initiative
Client Centric
There are three kinds of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what just happened. We make things happen! We proactively add value, instead of waiting to be told what to do. We take ownership of our responsibilities and hold ourselves accountable for the end result.
Our clients have significant faith in our ability to serve, bless, and help them. They challenge us to be and do our best as we strive to solve their problems efficiently and effectively. Our aim is for every client to be thrilled with the perspectives and solutions we deliver. We have servant hearts—we give freely of ourselves to our clients and each other. We trust we will receive the appropriate reward for our efforts.
Presense
We strive to be 100% present wherever we are and in whatever we are doing. Each aspect of our lives—including personal, family, and work—deserves our very best. We achieve balance by devoting ourselves to work while we’re at work and to home while we’re at home.
