Testimonials
"Brandon's knowledge is comprehensive and he has always been the greatest resource for my dental practice."
I highly recommend Brandon Collier as the economic advisor for our dental practice. Brandon has provided us with expert advice and guidance on everything from budgeting and forecasting to tax planning and investment strategies. From the early growing pains of starting a dental practice 20 years ago through the Great Financial Crisis and a global pandemic, Brandon has always been there to guide us.

"No matter where you are in your dental career, I highly recommend the services of Brandon Collier and his Associates."
Collier & Associates have been a part of my practice management since I became an associate in 1988 and then as a practice owner a few years later. Timely advice from their newsletters and seminars, great locations for their seminars and lifelong friendships that have been established at the meetings are but a few of the many benefits my wife and I have received over the years.

"Every time we meet new dental graduates we always recommend that they attend one of Brandon’s courses and tell them you just can’t afford not to."
Since we attended our first week in St. Thomas in 2009 we have only missed one seminar, and that was for health reasons. Dental school prepares you for the clinical side of dentistry, Brandon’s courses help you through everything else; Human resources, retirement plans, marketing, tax planning, transitions, partnerships, contracts and so much more.

"The greatest asset available to any new dentist."
If I were to retire today, I could spend $25,000 per month for the rest of my life. In addition, my wife of 11 years has accumulated a net worth of well over $1,000,000. Thank you Collier and Associates. Our six children (all major university graduates) and 12 grandchildren have all the college cost paid. They all thank you Mr. Collier. We also have a lavish home in Florida, a waterfront condo on Clearwater Beach, and the opportunity to travel to the finest vacation resorts available across the Western hemisphere on your continuing education seminars.
I started with Harvey Sarner in 1972 when I was in dental school and have been a client of yours my entire professional career. You incorporated my practice way back when.
The greatest asset one could obtain from Brandon Collier, is not just his current resume but his source of history —his 46-year source of what works and what doesn’t, yet modernized to today’s current economy, taxes, and practice management. It’s like having a “test file” of every past examination of every professor you have ever had in dental school. It might not give an absolute assurance of an “A” but it sure does guarantee that you will pass, and ultimately have success in your profession.
This testimonial is not about me. This testimonial bears witness to the fact that an average (just a medium-size Pedo practice) combined with a hard work ethic, and imbued with a financial philosophy and legal advice based on common sense can make the dreams of a ghetto boy from West Indianapolis, come true. Success is when modern day professional models meet historically based evidence. Eternally grateful!

"Practical, interesting and relevant advice in great locations – Collier and Associates has it all!"
As a practice owner and mom of 4 young kids, great financial advice is extremely important to me. I love receiving the newsletter and getting new ideas in a clear, succinct way. My family’s financial future is very important to me. I feel that Brandon Collier and his team present sound tax and practice planning advice that is especially relevant for women in dentistry.
I’ve been to many financial planning seminars where I felt like I was just a “spouse” and the presenter missed the opportunity to reach the whole audience. Perhaps because Brandon is young, or just enlightened, he talks to EVERYONE in the room and understands that many women in today’s practices ARE the financial decision makers for their families. I thoroughly enjoyed the last two seminars and am planning on attending more in the future!
With Collier and Associates, you can gain the financial knowledge you need to run a successful, independent practice. During the seminars I learned about tax and practice planning strategies that I put into place immediately on Monday morning.

"After practicing many years, if asked, the single best piece of advice I would give a young dentist is to subscribe to the Collier and Associates Newsletter."
I would read each and every edition and I would follow its relevant, sound and down-to-earth advice. It perfectly balances practice administration, taxes and the professionalism with life and family.

"I have subscribed to the Collier newsletter for the past 10 years and have received valuable tax savings and retirement plan suggestions that have truly changed my life."

As always, Brandon has so much information in his head I have no idea how it fits! He is a wealth of information and presents it in a well structured, easily understood, and sometimes humorous manner as well!

"After 17+ years in practice, you can really start to see how implementing Brandon’s advice early in your career pays huge dividends."
I always enjoy attending Collier seminars as the information is extremely helpful as a practice owner, and I always learn something new. The investment knowledge, tax-saving strategies and practice management tips that I have learned from Brandon over the past 15+ years have been incredible.

"Collier & Associates are a must for any practice."
I've used Brandon’s services throughout my entire career. By following his advice and going to his seminars, I have thrived and felt comfortable with the direction of my office and now offices. His staff is very accommodating and professional. They do a great job with our retirement plans and other contractual paperwork. I attend at least one seminar per year and sometimes two. The investment seminar is a must if you control your retirement plans and want to control your own investments. The practice management courses are very helpful and usually pay for themselves after implementing a few ideas from these courses. The attendees at all the courses have the same mindset and like to share their experiences. You’ll meet other doctors of all ages who have been in the same situation you are in now and are happy to lend their advice. And as the years progress you’ll be happy to share advice with the junior attendees. The contents of the seminars are invaluable and the locations are highly desirable as well. Collier and Associates are the best!

"I would never have experienced the financial well-being without your recommendations and advice and I’m still picking up pearls of information from you."
We have been attending these meetings for over 30 years. It started with Mr. Harvey Sarner and then with your father, Mr. Richard Collier and now, or course, with you Brandon. The information I have received has made a tremendous difference in my life and my family’s. This information has been the biggest benefit to me in my practice and career. The only mistake I made was when I didn’t follow advice.
There is no doctor who won’t achieve fabulous goals if they follow the information at the meetings plus you get a fantastic vacation as an extra. We now go for 2 weeks and decided we want all of our children to benefit the same way that we did, so we are taking our married children and spouses with us to the meetings so they can benefit and the earlier the better. Thank you. It is and has been terrific.

"I cannot thank Brandon and his team enough for helping me navigate through the business aspect of dentistry and prepare for life after practice."
I have attended multiple seminars hosted by Collier and Associates, utilized Brandon for a practice purchase and been an avid reader of their newsletter for over a decade. I would highly recommend to any doctor, at any stage of their career, to take advantage of the guidance, information and services that they provide, you will be very happy that you did. Thank you!

"The Newsletter is a one of a kind product and totally unbiased."
Brandon’s tax conference at the Porsche driving school was a fantastic experience! The driving school was a blast and Brandon had a lot of actionable advice that I was able to apply to my medical practice and personal finances. I have been subscribing to the Newsletter now for five years. Every issue contains at least a couple items that impact me directly. I buy gift subscriptions for my top referring doctors and they tell me it’s the best gift they get.

"My retirement is very comfortable, and you get credit."
I started many years ago with Harvey Sarner. Over the years, I have attended several seminars, bought companies that I understood, with management I respected, and held them forever. I have raised four children, all who are doing well, having continued down the same path. I looked for advice for my practice transition and have enjoyed reading the newsletters as they arrived.

"The seminars changed my life and I’m very grateful to have worked with Collier & Associates all these years.""
I have been a client of Collier & Associates for about 35 years, as a Pediatric Dentist. The many terrific seminars that my wife and I attended over the years helped us to obtain financial independence along with taking many great trips and making good friends at the same time. Collier & Associates also helped me in transitioning my practice to my son when I was ready to retire. Brandon and my son skied together at seminars when they were about 10 years old, and now Brandon is working closely with my son in growing his practice. Thanks to Collier & Associates I am retired for the past 12 years, and am now volunteering as a Caring Clown with my Therapy Dog for sick children in hospitals.

"We have enjoyed the seminars and the friendships we have made. Thank you, Collier & Associates!"
I can’t say enough about Collier & Associates seminars. Whether they are about tax strategies, retirement planning or practice transitions they have been an excellent investment in my practice. At our annual Caribbean meetings, Brandon always updates us on the newest changes in the tax codes and provides advice on how to favorably implement the new laws. Our daughter, who is transitioning into the practice, is part of the next generation learning from Brandon.
