Allied & Alternative Health Bookkeeping & Advisory
Allied and alternative health practice finances have a specific shape that most bookkeepers genuinely don’t understand. You’re often mixing employed staff with room-rental contractors under the same roof. You’re running payroll across a patchwork of part-time practitioners under the Health Professionals Award. You’re reconciling practice management system income against what actually hit the bank. You’re trying to figure out whether each room is pulling its weight — or whether one practitioner is quietly cross-subsidising everyone else.
Most general bookkeepers can’t do this. Most accountants charge a fortune to look at it once a year. We sit in the middle — handling the day-to-day finances of your practice with the specificity it actually requires, and giving you the monthly clarity to run your practice as a business, not just as a clinical operation.
Built for practitioners who got into health to help people — not to become amateur accountants.
Practitioner payroll — Health Professionals & Support Services Award interpretation, part-time loadings, public holiday rates, leave accruals
Room rental & contractor reconciliation — separating employed vs subcontracted practitioners, room income, percentage splits, GST treatment
Practice management reconciliation — tying Cliniko, Halaxy, Zanda, or Splose invoicing to what hit the bank, catching write-offs and unbilled sessions
Per-practitioner revenue & margin tracking — who is billing what, which modality earns, which room is profitable, which practitioner is subsidised
GST-exempt vs taxable income — health services, supplements, products — getting the GST split right is a common gap in allied and alternative health practices
Retail product margins — supplements, skincare, remedies — tracking product margin separately from service revenue so you know if retail is actually worth the floor space
BAS, IAS, super & STP — all compliance work handled on time, including the GST-exempt health service split that trips up most allied health practices
