Medical & Healthcare Accounting
Healthcare professionals have enough on their plate without having to become experts in tax and business finance too, and their accountant should not expect them to. Apex Accounting Solutions works with GPs, surgeons, dentists, physios, psychologists and medical practice owners across Melbourne who need accounting support that fits around clinics, on-call shifts and patient care.
Our medical accountants understand the realities of service entity arrangements, mixed PSI/business income, practice partnership splits and the compliance load that comes with running a clinic. We handle the technical side so you can focus on patients, and we translate the numbers into plain English so you always know where the practice actually stands.
Our Services
Medical practices operate in a particular way: service entity arrangements, mixed personal services and business income, partnership distributions, and a compliance load that only gets heavier as you add associates or open a second site. Our medical accounting services are built to match that reality, not a generic small-business template. Whether you run a GP clinic, a dental surgery or an allied health practice, our medical and dental accounting support covers every part of your practice finances.
We lodge your BAS, IAS and PAYG on time, every time, and apply the right GST treatment to medical services, mixed billings and consumables so the ATO stays off your back.
We design and maintain service entities, family trusts and company structures around your practice, including PSI rules, tax minimisation and asset protection strategies.
We model cash flow around Medicare and health-fund payment cycles, locum costs, equipment leases and quiet seasons so the practice account never gets caught short.
Single Touch Payroll, super, contractor versus employee classification and smart structuring, all handled so you keep more of what your practice earns as it grows.
What It’s Like to Work With Apex
We have worked with hundreds of Melbourne practitioners and practices, from solo allied health professionals to multi-site GP and specialist groups. Because we know the sector so well, our advice is more precise, your structures are set up right and ATO issues are far less likely to catch you off guard. It is why so many practitioners choose specialist healthcare accountants with extensive industry experience.
Your dedicated Apex team member learns how your practice actually works: how you bill, how you split partner income and how you pay associates and locums. We then structure your accounting around that, not the other way around.
Most of our medical clients move to a fixed monthly fee so they always know what their accountant is costing them. That fee covers your compliance, while extra meetings or additional work are tailored to what you need.
Our Process
Getting started with specialist healthcare accountants is as simple as this. We begin with a thorough review of your current financial position, understanding your practice goals, challenges, and opportunities for growth.
We start with a free consultation to understand your practice, current setup, and what you need, whether that is tax and bookkeeping, structuring or compliance.
We review your financials, clean up anything needed, and set up the right systems and accounting platforms to keep everything accurate and compliant.
We manage your ongoing accounting, BAS, and tax, while providing proactive advice and support throughout the year as your practice grows.
Testimonial
You can absolutely use a general accountant, but a specialist medical accountant will save you money and headaches. Medical practices have their own quirks, such as service entity rules, PSI, mixed billings, partner splits and professional indemnity treatment, and we have seen them all. That experience turns into better structuring, better tax outcomes and fewer surprises. Experienced medical accountants also spot the deductions and structuring opportunities that a generalist accountant can easily miss.
Yes. A large share of our medical clients are sole practitioners and small clinics. We will handle your tax return, BAS and bookkeeping at a fair fee, and give you the same strategic advice we give our larger practice groups so you can grow on your terms. Our medical and dental accounting support scales to suit a solo GP or single-chair dental practice just as well as a larger group.
Absolutely. We set up your chart of accounts, tracking categories and invoicing templates so every consultation, procedure and supplier expense is captured against the right doctor, room or location. You get real numbers on real income, not just a lump of data at tax time.
We design service entity arrangements that hold up to ATO scrutiny, with proper management agreements, commercially realistic charges, and clean treatment of associates and contractors. Where personal services income rules apply, we structure things correctly from day one so there are no nasty re-assessments later.
There is no single right answer, but the trigger points are usually around asset protection, bringing in a partner or associate, employing your first practice manager or nurse, or hitting an income level where a different structure saves meaningful tax. We will walk you through the numbers and the risks before you commit to anything.
Yes. We look after everyone from solo allied health clinicians through to multi-site GP and specialist groups running their own practices. As your practice grows, our involvement grows with you: more reporting, more planning, more strategic support.
