Bookkeeping for Doctors.
Bookkeepers of Choice for Medical Professionals.
It’s common knowledge that a Doctor has a very busy and important job that comes with a huge amount of responsibilities. Regardless of what they specialise in, being a Doctor is almost always demanding.
A Doctor’s job role is very broad and can include diagnosing and treating diseases, minimising pain, helping patients to live with disabilities and rehabilitating injuries. With so many important responsibilities it can be hard for a Doctor to find the time to attend to their financial matters, but like any other industry, those working in the medical industry need to take care of their financials. This is especially true if they own a Private Practice.
On this page, we focus on bookkeeping assistance for Doctors with their own Medical Practices.
Financial matters that Doctors must attend to include recording revenue and expenditure, abiding by taxation rules and taking care of payroll for their staff members.

Our Medical Bookkeeping Services for Doctors
Organisation of patient’s data
Legally, a Doctor must keep a record of every patient they see, recording what occurred during the appointment. This information can be helpful for the next time a patient visits, or if the patient wants their information transferred over to another practice or specialist. Our Bookkeepers can help to implement a system that makes the information easily accessible and well organised.

Payroll
Most Doctors’ offices will have a number of employees. Whether you have a large or small practice, your staff members will need to be paid and there are a number of rules that need to be followed when paying a salary to staff members. Our Bookkeepers can take care of your payroll requirements for you and make sure everything is in accordance with ATO rules.
Financial reporting
Regardless of the field of the business, financial reporting is a crucial part of financial success. Financial reports can help business owners understand the financial health of their company and can provide to data required in order to implement strategies to maximise revenue.

How our Bookkeeping Solutions for Doctors can Benefit Your Business
Minimise discripensies
Just like a Podiatrist is an expert in matters of the feet, a Bookkeeper is an expert in managing administrative financial records. They have spent years in the field, perfecting their skills and ensuring that they know how do their job to the best of their abilities.
This means that a Bookkeeper has mastered the skill of attention to detail and will ensure that all your financial matters are completed correctly and effectively.
Increased revenue
When a Bookkeeper’s services are enlisted, a Doctor will be freeing up hours that they would usually spend on administrative work. This means that the Doctor has more time to see patients, resulting in increasing profitability and attributing towards more business success.
Avoid unnecessary costs
Bookkeepers are experts in producing revenue and expenditure reports and Accountants specialise in studying this data and offering taxation advice. This advice often involves cutting out costs that are unnecessary and don’t benefit the business. For an Accountant to effectively give this advice, they need a Bookkeeper to produce concise and correct financial records and reports.
FAQs
I am employed in a doctor's office, do I need a bookkeeper?
Doctors who own their own practices (i.e. who are self-employed) are the best candidates for engaging Bookkeepers, as their practice is their busiess. If you are employed by a Doctor’s office you may not require a Bookkeeper, but an Accountant may be very beneficial to help you take care of things like your personal taxation return.
