Running a practice is hard enough without your finances adding to the pressure
Canadian healthcare accounting is complex, with professional corporations, mixed billing, and compensation structures. We provide specialized financial support built for how practices actually operate.
Supporting healthcare practices across Toronto, GTA, Ontario and Canada
Healthcare practices have financial needs that general accounting consistently misses.
Physician corporations, dental groups, and physiotherapy clinics are incorporated businesses with very different financial and tax realities. They require specialized knowledge of healthcare-specific tax, compensation, and compliance rules. This is not an area where a generalist approach is enough.
Accurate, structured financials are maintained monthly for healthcare businesses, whether you operate as a sole practitioner, partnership, or through a physician professional corporation. Designed around the specific revenue and cost structure of your practice.
Incorporated healthcare professionals face specific tax considerations around how to structure physician compensation, use retained earnings within a professional corporation, access the small business deduction, and manage the interaction between corporate and personal tax. We manage these proactively.
For incorporated physicians, dentists, and other healthcare professionals, how income is drawn from professional corporations has significant tax implications. We structure compensation specific to your income level, personal needs, and long-term goals, including RRSP room and retirement planning.
Capital Cost Allowance on medical equipment can meaningfully reduce your tax burden, but only if assets are correctly categorized and depreciation is planned. We manage your asset accounting and optimize CCA year over year.
Healthcare practices manage complex payroll involving physicians, associates, clinical staff, and administrative teams with different compensation models. We ensure accurate payroll processing, CRA source deduction compliance, and efficient management of related costs.
Whether expanding into a second location, adding associates, or investing in new equipment, financial planning gives you the structure to make those decisions with clear visibility into costs, cash flow impact, and return.
Healthcare organizations are subject to both CRA requirements and professional regulatory standards. We maintain your financial records in a way that satisfies both, organized, accurate, and ready for any review.
As your practice grows across locations, financial management becomes more complex. We build reporting systems that consolidate performance across sites, maintain clean entity separation, and give you clear visibility to manage a multi-location organization.
When was your practice’s financial structure last reviewed?
Many healthcare professionals set up their accounting structure early in practice, but what worked then may no longer support their current growth or complexity.

Frequently asked questions about Healthcare accounting Canada
The tax treatment, professional corporation rules, compensation planning considerations, and compliance requirements for incorporated healthcare professionals in Canada are specific enough that a general accounting approach misses significant planning opportunities and creates avoidable risk. Effective healthcare accounting in Canada requires understanding how provincial health billing works, how professional corporations are structured under provincial legislation, and which CRA rules apply specifically to regulated health professionals.
Professional corporations in Canada are subject to specific ownership restrictions under provincial legislation, typically only the professional and, in some provinces, immediate family members can hold shares. However, the tax benefits are significant when properly planned, including access to the small business deduction and the ability to defer income within the corporation at lower corporate tax rates. The planning considerations are specific to the healthcare professional context and differ materially from general incorporated businesses.
The most impactful areas are: compensation structuring including salary vs dividends planning, small business deduction access, CCA optimization on medical equipment, RRSP contribution planning, retained earnings strategy within the professional corporation, managing passive income thresholds, and HST compliance specific to the services you provide.
Yes. We work with multi-location and multi-provider practices that need consolidated reporting, proper entity separation, and financial systems that give clear visibility across a more complex organization. As practices grow, accounting for clinics across multiple sites requires both technical accounting capability and an understanding of how healthcare businesses actually generate revenue.
The HST treatment of healthcare services in Canada is nuanced. Many regulated professional services are GST/HST exempt, but ancillary services and some products may not be. We ensure your HST reporting is handled correctly based on your specific practice type and service mix, including billing arrangements with provincial health insurers and privatepay patients.
Yes. Healthcare technology businesses and telemedicine platforms frequently have SR&ED eligibility related to software development, clinical tool development, and proprietary technology. We assess your qualifying activities as part of our broader tax planning work and ensure your claim is properly documented and structured.
