A process that fits your business
We begin with your existing software, reporting needs and the way work is approved. You tell us which information is already available and where the process becomes difficult. We then agree responsibilities, a record collection routine and a reporting schedule. We work with Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks and can coordinate with your existing accountant.
What to expect from our support
Your scope can cover a specific task or a combination of bookkeeping, BAS, payroll and reporting. We identify missing information and explain questions in plain language. Fees depend on transaction volumes, systems, complexity and the services included. You receive a quote before the agreed work begins.
Getting started
Tell us about your business structure, accounting software and the work you want help with. We review the information and agree the scope, responsibilities and fee before beginning. Existing accountant relationships can be retained, with a clear handover of the records needed.
During onboarding, we confirm access permissions, document collection and any authority required for lodgements. You keep control of approvals and receive questions where a transaction or decision needs your input.
Common questions from healthcare practices
How do you reconcile patient payments, Medicare and health fund receipts?
We match practice billing reports and remittance statements to bank deposits, separating patient gap payments, fund receipts, refunds and processing fees. Unpaid or rejected items stay visible for your practice manager to follow up, so a bank deposit is not mistaken for the full amount billed.
Are all the services provided by our healthcare practice GST-free?
Not automatically. The service, provider and recipient matter, and some goods or services need different treatment. We separate your income streams and flag uncertain items for your tax practitioner before applying the agreed GST codes. A practice-wide label can hide important differences.
How should we record payments to independent practitioners?
Provide the practitioner agreements, billing reports and settlement statements. We reconcile collections, practice service fees and amounts payable to each practitioner under those arrangements. Practitioner settlements are kept distinct from employee wages, with any questions about the arrangement referred for specialist review.
Can we see which clinic locations or services contribute to our results?
Where your source reports identify the location or service, we can organise income and direct costs into those categories. Shared rent, administration and other overheads need an agreed allocation method. This gives owners a clearer view of each clinic alongside the overall practice result.
Do you need access to confidential clinical notes to do our bookkeeping?
We generally work from financial reports: invoice references, service dates, amounts, payment records and supplier documents. We agree which identifiers are needed to reconcile transactions and ask you to exclude unnecessary clinical notes. Access can be limited to the financial information required for the agreed work.
