Outsourcing your finance function

Outsourcing your accounting and finance function allows your practice to benefit from the services of experts, working remotely, using reliable systems and good technology. Specific benefits include:

Services from a provider that specialises in medical and dental practices

Dental and medical accounting is our expert area. So, whether your spend on materials and lab bills is within industry norms is something that only a specialist accountant will know. The same applies to associate percentages, also if other members of your team should be paid via the payroll or self-employed. We can identify easy ways to boost practice profitability by bringing overheads within the benchmark of a practice similar to yours.

Specialised and cutting-edge technology

We are equipped with staff specifically trained for dental and medical practices, and our clients benefit from our years of experience and the cutting-edge financial technologies that we use, to drive speed and efficiency.

Reduced costs and maximum efficiency for your practice

You’ll benefit from our high levels of productivity born out of our specialism in your sector. Your practice will pay a fixed monthly fee for an agreed schedule of services, without you having any infrastructure costs (hardware, office space, stationery, software licences and the like), or employment formalities such as holidays, sickness, costs of payroll, employers’ NICs and pension contributions.

Efficient redeployment of staff

Outsourcing your finance function will free up your practice management team’s time, leaving you to focus on providing an efficient service and exceptional clinical work. Existing staff can be redeployed to other tasks, like following up treatment plans and dealing with patients.

Accurate bookkeeping is the engine that will keep you running smoothly and plan sensibly and positively for the future. It’s the foundation for growth and represents the attention to detail that you must get right in order to deliver the highest-quality patient services.

When you have the full picture of all the financial transactions going in and out of your practice, you’ll know how it is really performing – a busy waiting room doesn’t always tell the whole story. Once all income, expenses, assets and liabilities are factored into the bigger picture, you’ll see if you need to reassess and readjust, to lead your business back to greater profitability and keep it there.
