Business Structures for Healthcare Professionals

Choosing the correct business structure is critical in the healthcare sector.

Many medical and dental practitioners operate through company, trust, or service trust arrangements, each with distinct tax and asset protection implications.

When advising on business structures, we carefully consider:

• Income tax minimisation
• Asset protection and risk management
• Admission of partners or investors
• Industry-specific legal and compliance requirements
• Future eligibility for capital gains tax (CGT) concessions

Australian tax laws are complex, and restructuring later can trigger costly CGT events. Our goal is to establish the right structure from the outset, while maintaining flexibility for future growth.

Accounting Software & Financial Systems

Accurate financial systems form the foundation of a successful healthcare practice.

We assist with:

• Selection and implementation of appropriate accounting software
• Streamlining bookkeeping, GST, and reporting processes
• Eliminating inefficient “computerised shoebox” record-keeping
• Ensuring real-time visibility over your financial position

Reliable, up-to-date records enable better decision-making and long-term profitability.
