Merritt began his career with Deloitte providing various tax and M&A consulting services largely to hedge funds and private equity groups, as well as many Fortune 500 companies. In 2011, Merritt moved to Jonesboro, AR to become the CFO to a group of orthodontists hoping to create a corporate back office as well as consolidate their 11 practices together. Although those partners could not agree on the consolidation, the invaluable experience gained in this role gave Merritt the opportunity to leverage what he had learned to create a new type of corporate dental group and dental management services company which currently operate 33 specialty dental locations throughout Arkansas and Southern Missouri.
