Bookkeeping for Doctors & Allied Health

Complex GST Rules Simplified

Medical bookkeeping is unique because many services are GST-free, while others (like cosmetic procedures or products) are taxable. We ensure your BAS is accurate so you don't underpay or overpay tax.

GST Allocations: We correctly separate GST-free income (standard consults) vs. Taxable income (products/reports).
Service Facility Fees: Managing the complex income splitting between the medical center and contractor doctors.
Practice Software: Seamless integration with Cliniko, Halaxy, Best Practice, and Nookal.
Payroll Tax: Expert advice on "Relevant Contracts" provisions to protect your practice from audit risks.

Common Mistakes in Medical Accounting

Claiming GST on Everything

Many medical supplies are GST-free. If you claim GST credits on them, the ATO will ask for that money back.

Super for Contractors

Even if a doctor invoices you as a contractor, you may still be liable for their Superannuation. We assess this for you.

Unreconciled HICAPS

If your terminal settlements don't match your bank feed, you are likely missing income. We reconcile this daily.

Personal Expenses

Travel to conferences is deductible, but extending the trip for a holiday is not. We help you split these costs correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with Cliniko?

Yes, we integrate Cliniko with Xero to ensure every invoice is captured and reconciled against payments.

How do I handle Service Fees?

We set up a specific "Service Fee" revenue account. You collect the patient fees, and we invoice the doctor for your facility fee.

Is cosmetic surgery GST-free?

Generally, no. Elective cosmetic procedures are taxable. We ensure these are flagged correctly in your BAS.
