Why Concierge Medical Practices Need Specialized Accounting Support

As a concierge physician, you’ve chosen a unique path in healthcare. Unfortunately, that does not make you immune to the accounting challenges faced by traditional healthcare professionals. 

We would argue that your retainer-based model introduces an additional layer of complexity that requires even more robust financial management. Not only do you need all the standard healthcare bookkeeping services, but you also need specialized support to manage your membership model effectively. Here’s why.

Complex Revenue Streams

Unlike traditional practices, you must manage two distinct revenue streams: membership retainers and additional services that the annual membership may not cover.

Our accounting firm tracks both revenue sources to optimize your cash flow. From monitoring payments to creating detailed projections, we ensure your financial health matches the quality of healthcare you provide all of your clients. 

Increased Financial Clarity

To unlock growth opportunities, you need data-driven insights into how your practice is performing. Our healthcare accountants spot inefficiencies and uncover growth opportunities by:

  • Reconciling accounts
  • Tracking expenses
  • Creating detailed financial statements that show the true profitability of your membership model
  • Analyzing membership retention and attrition rates
  • Identifying which services generate the best returns

Compliance Challenges

As a healthcare provider, you face unique regulatory challenges. Meeting them requires expertise from a healthcare accountant who understands your industry. We take into account your: 

  • Complex billing systems, which often involve multiple payers 
  • Revenue cycles which are frequently delayed and can disrupt cash flow
  • Unique tax implications, which differ from traditional service-for-fee models

Then, we help you structure your practice to maximize profitability and efficiency, all while keeping you compliant. 

Tax Planning

Does tax season make you shudder? Not when you work with our healthcare accountants. 

Unlike many firms, we believe taxes are a year-round endeavor—one that should be tackled in painless, bite-sized chunks. Our accountants for healthcare professionals ensure you maintain audit-ready books at all times while identifying tax-saving opportunities throughout the year.

Our approach transforms tax planning from an annual headache into painless ongoing reviews. This process not only keeps you informed about your financial health but also prevents stressful scrambles to meet deadlines.  

Strategic Planning

As a boutique provider, it is unlikely that you need the full-time service (or overhead cost) of a traditional chief financial officer. Yet, you still need financial oversight. 

Our fractional CFO services give you the same level of service as a full-time team member without the associated cost, allowing you to scale up or down as needed. As your practice evolves, our accountants for doctors flex with you, ensuring you have the right financial leadership at every stage.

Whether you need help forecasting cash flow, budgeting, assessing prices, or identifying KPIs, our healthcare accountants and CFOs are here to assist.
