SG Accounting & Tax Advisory

Physical Therapy & Health Clinics

Accounting built around the way your clinic cares, bills, and grows.

Health clinic owners manage more than appointments and patient care. They manage practitioners, staff, insurance payments, treatment revenue, payroll, software systems, supplies, rent, and year-end tax obligations.

We support physiotherapy, chiropractic, rehabilitation, massage therapy, and multidisciplinary health clinics with accounting, tax, bookkeeping, payroll, and planning conversations built around how clinics actually operate.

Our role is to help you understand your numbers, stay organized, and make better decisions for your clinic, your team, and your future.

Why It Matters

A busy clinic needs clean records behind the scenes.

Health clinics often have several moving parts.

There may be practitioners paid in different ways, staff payroll, patient payments, insurer reimbursements, WSIB or MVA-related billing, software reports, room usage, equipment costs, supplies, and HST/GST considerations where applicable.

When your accounting is organized properly, it becomes easier to understand cash flow, profitability, payroll obligations, tax deadlines, and growth decisions.

Planning Topics

Clinic owners need clear numbers before major decisions are made.

A strong clinic requires more than full schedules. Owners also need to understand cash flow, profitability, practitioner costs, payroll, tax obligations, equipment needs, and long-term planning opportunities.

We help clinic owners create space for these conversations before decisions become urgent.

Are Practitioners Employees or Contractors?

Worker classification can affect payroll, CPP, EI, tax reporting, documentation, and compliance. This should be reviewed carefully based on the facts.

Is My Clinic Actually Profitable?

Revenue alone does not show the full picture. Clear reporting helps owners understand margins, practitioner costs, payroll, supplies, and overhead.

How Should I Pay Myself?

Salary, dividends, or a combination should be reviewed in the context of tax, cash flow, CPP, RRSP room, corporate savings, and personal needs.

How Should Insurance and WSIB Payments Be Tracked?

Direct billing, WSIB-related payments, MVA claims, insurer reimbursements, write-offs, and receivables should be organized clearly in the books.

Can My Clinic Support Growth?

Adding practitioners, treatment rooms, staff, equipment, or another location requires clearer reporting, cash flow visibility, and planning.

Do My Systems Still Fit the Clinic?

As a clinic grows, informal bookkeeping and reporting processes may no longer be enough. Stronger systems can reduce stress and improve decision-making.

Our Approach

We begin by understanding how your clinic operates.

Every health clinic has its own structure, team, billing process, software, expenses, and goals.

Before providing guidance, we take time to understand how your clinic earns revenue, how practitioners and staff are paid, how expenses are tracked, and what decisions may be coming in the future.

01

Understand

We review your clinic structure, practitioner model, software reports, payment flow, payroll process, expenses, and prior filings.

02

Organize

We help organize bookkeeping records, payroll information, clinic reports, payment records, HST/GST documentation, and supporting files.

03

Coordinate

We coordinate bookkeeping, payroll, HST/GST considerations, corporate tax, and personal tax where relevant.

04

Plan

We support planning conversations around cash flow, compensation, practitioner costs, equipment, growth, retirement, and succession.

05

Support

We remain available throughout the year for questions, filings, reporting, CRA correspondence, and planning conversations.

Financial Clarity

Clear records help your clinic run with more confidence.

When clinic records are organized, owners can better understand profitability, payroll, receivables, expenses, cash flow, and tax obligations.

Clear accounting also helps prepare for financing conversations, equipment purchases, additional practitioners, expansion, and long-term planning.

Good records do not only help with filing taxes. They help you run the clinic with more confidence throughout the year.

Connected Thinking

Your clinic, corporation, family, and future are connected.

For many health professionals, the clinic is one of the most important financial assets they own.

Decisions around tax, compensation, cash flow, equipment, insurance, retirement, and estate planning can all connect to the long-term success of the owner and their family.

Through SG's relationship-based approach, clients benefit from thoughtful conversations that consider the person, family, and business behind the clinic.
