We support healthcare professionals across Surrey, New Westminster, Langley, White Rock, and nearby BC communities.
Practice Support
Healthcare Practices We Support
Each healthcare business has different billing, payroll, equipment, and reporting needs. We shape the accounting around the way your practice earns income and serves patients.
Dental and Vision Practices
We support dentists, orthodontists, optometrists, and teams with high equipment costs, staff scheduling, insurance payments, and supply tracking.
- Dentists and orthodontists

Therapy and Wellness Providers
We work with physiotherapists, chiropractors, mental health practitioners, and private-pay providers who need clean revenue and expense tracking.

- Counsellors and therapists
- Private wellness clinics
Veterinary clinics also need industry-aware accounting.
We can support veterinary practices with inventory, payroll, equipment, emergency service revenue, and location-level reporting.
Billing and Revenue
Medical Billing and Revenue Tracking
Healthcare revenue often comes from more than one source. A practice may receive MSP deposits, private payments, insurance payments, ICBC claims, WorkSafeBC payments, or direct patient fees.
Public and Third-Party Billing
- MSP payment tracking
- ICBC claim records
- WorkSafeBC billing support
- Extended health deposits
- Rejected claim follow-up reports
Private Patient Revenue
- Patient invoicing
- Outstanding balance review
- Deposit reconciliation
- Payment method tracking
- Revenue by service type
Clean billing records also support cash flow forecasting, clinic reporting, and year-end tax preparation.
Expense Control
Practice Expense Management
A busy clinic can lose track of small costs. We help organize rent, supplies, staff wages, insurance, equipment, software, and professional fees into clear reporting categories.
Clinic Costs
Track rent, utilities, medical supplies, treatment rooms, office needs, and daily operating costs.
Staff Costs
Review wages, benefits, payroll remittances, vacation pay, casual staff, and support roles.
Professional Costs
Organize licensing, college dues, insurance, continuing education, conferences, and journals.
Admin Costs
Track software, bookkeeping, legal fees, marketing, phone, internet, and office supplies.
Clear cost categories help owners see where margin is going.
Better expense tracking supports pricing, staffing decisions, associate agreements, and equipment planning.
Practice Structure
Professional Corporation Planning
Some healthcare professionals can benefit from a professional corporation. The right answer depends on income, college rules, shareholder limits, family needs, and long-term plans.
Possible Benefits
- Lower corporate tax on retained income
- More retirement planning options
- Potential family income planning
- Business structure for future sale
Rules to Review
- Professional designation requirements
- College approval process
- Shareholder restrictions
- Annual corporate filings
When It May Fit
- Practice income exceeds living needs
- Owner wants retained earnings
- Equipment or expansion is planned
- Succession may happen later
Incorporation should not be automatic.
We compare the tax cost, accounting work, cash needs, and rules before recommending a structure. For more detail, review business incorporation advice.
Healthcare Tax Strategy
Tax Planning for Healthcare Professionals
Good tax planning begins before year-end. We help practice owners make better choices around income, equipment, payroll, home office records, vehicle use, and retirement savings.
Income and Family Planning
Where allowed, we review proper compensation for family members who provide real support to the practice.
- Admin support wages
- Bookkeeping support
- Management duties
- Reasonable pay records
Retirement Planning
We review RRSP room, retained corporate savings, pension options, and tax timing for higher-income professionals.
- RRSP planning
- Corporate retained earnings
- IPP discussion for some owners
- Withdrawal timing
Deduction Planning
We help track costs that are easy to miss during a busy clinical week.
- Continuing education
- Professional dues
- Vehicle use between sites
- Home admin office
Doctor-specific tax questions need close review.
Physicians can also visit doctor accounting services for more focused support.
Provider Structures
Associate and Partnership Accounting
When more providers join a clinic, the numbers need to be clear. Poor reporting can create confusion over revenue, overhead, draws, staff costs, and shared expenses.
Associate Models
- Fee split tracking
- Revenue share reports
- Employee versus contractor review
- Provider-level production
Partner Reports
- Profit allocation
- Owner draws
- Buy-in records
- Shared cost tracking
Clinic Transparency
- Clear monthly statements
- Provider dashboards
- Overhead allocation
- Exit planning records
Clinic Team Support
Payroll for Healthcare Staff
Clinic payroll must be accurate and on time. We help manage pay records for admin staff, medical assistants, hygienists, nurses, receptionists, casual staff, and part-time workers.
Payroll Processing
- Bi-weekly payroll
- Semi-monthly payroll
- Vacation tracking
- Benefits records
CRA Remittances
- Source deductions
- Payroll liabilities
- T4 preparation support
- Year-end payroll records
Compliance Records
- BC Employment Standards
- WorkSafeBC review
- Employee records
- Payroll audit support
Payroll connects directly to practice profit.
We can pair healthcare accounting with payroll services and payroll tax services.
Equipment Decisions
Equipment Leasing vs Purchase
Healthcare equipment can place pressure on cash flow. We help compare leasing, buying, financing, tax treatment, and long-term cost before the practice commits.
Leasing May Help When
- Cash needs to stay available
- Technology changes quickly
- Maintenance is included
- Monthly cost is easier to plan
Buying May Help When
- The equipment will be used for years
- The practice wants ownership
- Tax depreciation is useful
- Financing cost is reasonable
Common purchases need careful planning.
Dental chairs, imaging tools, laser equipment, diagnostic systems, clinic IT, and treatment equipment should be reviewed with both tax and cash flow in mind.
Practice Dashboard
Healthcare Practice Reporting
Monthly reports should do more than list income and expenses. Practice owners need simple numbers that show patient revenue, service mix, staffing cost, collections, overhead, and net income.
Revenue Metrics
- Revenue per visit
- New and returning patients
- Service type revenue
- Insurance and private pay mix
- Collection rate
Profit Metrics
- Overhead percentage
- Staff cost per patient
- Cost per service
- Net income
- Provider productivity
Clinic Planning
Cash Flow and Multi-Location Support
Healthcare practices often pay rent, staff, supplies, and loan costs before all revenue has been received. Forecasting helps the clinic avoid tight weeks and plan larger moves with confidence.
Billing Delay Planning
We help plan around delays from MSP, insurance claims, third-party payers, and patient balances.
- Expected collection dates
- Payment timing gaps
- Receivable review
Large Cost Planning
We model equipment, renovations, new staff, lease changes, and extra rooms before cash gets tight.
- Equipment purchases
- Hiring plans
- Facility changes
Location Reports
For multi-location practices, we separate results so owners can compare income, staffing, rent, and profit.
- Location-level P&L
- Central cost allocation
- Comparative reports
Cash planning is useful before pressure starts.
Healthcare practices can pair this service with cash flow forecasting for a stronger forward view.
Long-Term Practice Health
Compliance, Valuation, and Succession
Healthcare accounting is not only about this month's numbers. It also supports privacy-aware records, practice value, partner exits, sale planning, and retirement decisions.
