When this relationship may fit
Built for an ongoing practice-level accounting and tax relationship.
This work is designed for established, owner-operated medical and dental practices with recurring business needs, often involving multiple owners, locations, related entities, financing requirements, or a need for stronger management reporting.
The relationship begins with the practice and its business entities. Within that business engagement, directly related owner matters may be included. Broader personal, trust, estate, or charitable tax needs are separately scoped through Private Client Services.
If accounting problems span the practice, related entities, and owner reporting, an Accounting Operations Assessment can help distinguish isolated fixes from the process changes that matter most.
Often a strong fit when
- The practice, real estate, and other related entities operate on different accounting calendars.
- The monthly close is late, inconsistent, or dependent on year-end cleanup.
- Partner compensation and distributions need clearer recurring schedules.
- Management or a lender needs more organized financial reporting.
- Business decisions and owner tax planning need better coordination.
- A partner transition or contemplated practice sale will increase scrutiny of the financial information.

How we can support the practice
Connect practice accounting, business tax, and ownership-related reporting.
Each engagement is scoped around the practice structure, existing accounting resources, systems, reporting requirements, ownership arrangements, financing needs, and upcoming decisions.
01Practice accounting & reporting
Defined accounting responsibilities, account reconciliations, close coordination, entity-level management reporting, budget-to-actual review, and reporting across related practice entities where appropriate.
Client Accounting Services
02Business & owner tax coordination
Entity tax compliance, projections, estimated-tax coordination, and fact-specific analysis of compensation and business decisions. Directly related owner matters may be included in the business engagement; broader personal and family tax needs are separately scoped through Private Client Services.
Business Tax
03Partner & lender reporting
Schedules for management's review covering compensation, distributions, related entities, and agreed lender requirements. Buy-in or buyout information can be organized for management and its advisers, but we do not provide legal advice or issue a practice valuation.

04Seller-side transition readiness
Organization of historical financial and tax information for a contemplated practice sale. The work is seller-side and is coordinated with the owner's legal, valuation, benefits, and transaction advisers.

What management should be able to see
A recurring view of practice performance, collections, owner economics, and cash.
- 1
Practice and location performance
Revenue, operating costs, and budget or prior-period variance by practice, location, entity, service, or provider where the available data supports the view.
- 2
Revenue cycle and cash
Collections and receivables information supplied by billing providers viewed alongside payroll, debt service, operating cash, and near-term obligations.
- 3
Owner economics
Compensation, distributions, capital, and related-entity activity connected to practice results and available cash.
- 4
Tax and transition calendar
Tax estimates, entity filings, partner changes, lender requirements, and transition deliverables assigned to owners with due dates.
When practice growth complicates owner reporting
Connect practice results with owner reporting.
Additional locations and a separate real estate entity can disconnect compensation and distributions from the close. Coordinated entity reporting and tax schedules help owners prepare for a partner retirement or other ownership transition.

Common questions
Questions practice owners ask before changing the finance process
Can you work with our current bookkeeper, practice-management system, and billing providers?
Yes. We can work with the existing team and systems, use agreed operating information supplied by the practice and its providers, and add close management, reporting, tax coordination, or controller-level review without automatically replacing them.
Do you provide medical billing, coding, credentialing, or healthcare regulatory services?
No. We do not provide medical billing, coding, credentialing, payer contracting, clinical, or healthcare regulatory services. The accounting scope may use payroll and other operating information supplied by the practice and its service providers.
Can you support partner compensation, a buy-in or buyout, lender reporting, or a contemplated sale?
We can prepare relevant accounting and tax analysis and organize schedules for compensation, buy-ins or buyouts, lender requests, and seller-side readiness. Practice management and its legal, valuation, benefits, lending, and transaction advisers retain their respective decision-making roles. A separate CPA firm performs any required external financial-statement audit.
