Your best service and your biggest service are not the same service.
CFO-level clarity on profitability, at a price a single practice can afford. What every service earns per provider-hour, which hours are the weakest, and what to do about it.

Output from the product, run on the sample practice's April export.
A CFO subtracts direct costs at the line level, reads what each service leaves over per hour of provider time, and holds that against what the practice needs per hour to cover its fixed costs. Overhead stays where it belongs, at practice level, because it does not leave when a service does. Margin does exactly that, so you can see which hours earn their keep and which ones are in the wrong place.

Every service, with the arithmetic in the open.

Every figure on this panel is output from the product, run on a real practice export. Overhead of $20,000 is a practice cost and is not split across services, so a service below the $340 break-even rate still carries part of it.

Then it tells you what to do about it.
Priority action
Move 3.5 provider-hours from IV hydration to Botox
IV hydration is your weakest use of a provider-hour at $216/hr against $1,866/hr for Botox. It still contributes $3,024/mo toward overhead, so this is about where the time goes, not about dropping it. Shifting a quarter of its hours is worth $5,774/mo.

A service can hold its place and still be sliding.
Semaglutide was second by profit per provider-hour in all five saved months. The figure behind that rank fell in every one of them.

Set up with you, not left to you.
- 01
We set it up with you, on a call.
About thirty minutes. Your services, what each one costs you to deliver, and how long it takes. You leave the call with your own numbers on screen rather than a blank account and a help article.
- 02
One export from the system you already use.
Margin reads the payments and you map each item to a service once. Where the file does not say how many units a payment covered, it asks rather than assuming. Our own first run of that import took about fifteen minutes.
- 03
The ranking, and the one thing to do about it.
Every service ordered by what it leaves per provider-hour, the services it cannot rank named and held back, and a written action with the figures it reasoned from.
07
One product, one price.

Four and a half percent off the top is a quiet month, not an alarm. The practice would have put it down to a slow April and moved on. What was underneath it held second place by profit per provider-hour the whole way down, which is the one place nobody was looking.
Three steps. Our own first run took about fifteen minutes.

What does Margin do?
Margin is financial-clarity software for cash-pay medical practices. It takes your service prices, direct costs and provider time, subtracts direct costs at the service level, and ranks every service by what it contributes per provider-hour. Overhead is kept at practice level rather than split across services, so a service is never shown as losing money because of a share of the rent. It shows which services to push and which hours to move, and gives a prioritized list of profit actions with an estimated dollar impact for each, using rules-based software logic. Setup is done with you on a call rather than on your own, and automatic import from your payment processor is in development.
How much does Margin cost?
Margin costs $297 per month, or $2,970 per year, which works out to about $248 per month billed annually. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial.
