Michael Brivulis National Account Manager

Michael joined Practice Sale Search as a National Account Manager in 2023, after working in dental practice acquisitions and practice builds for two major Australian dental corporate aggregators. Before this, he worked in the financial services sector for more than 15 years.

Michael’s experience gives him a unique insight and knowledge into how buyers (both private and corporate) value and assess practices for purchase. Through his involvement in hundreds of practice purchases, he has seen many vendors miss opportunities to get the best terms and price for their practice, either by being poorly represented during negotiations, or not understanding the true value that their business holds for a buyer.

As a CFA charterholder, Michael has an acute understanding of the financials of a dental practice and how to maximise profit. His background means he is perfectly positioned to appraise and value dental practices, a service that will greatly benefit Practice Sale Search’s clients.
