Who we are

"Medical practices don't run on invoices — they run on reimbursement cycles. Your books should show you payer performance, not just report history."
The difference

Generic bookkeepers miss what drives collections in medical practices.

Medical practices don't run on invoices — they run on reimbursement cycles, contractual write-offs, and payer mix. ERA/EOB reconciliation, reimbursement lag, and provider compensation accuracy are where your books either give you management data or just report history.

What most bookkeepers miss

  • All insurance payments lumped as "patient revenue" — no payer-by-payer visibility, no write-off rate analysis
  • Contractual adjustments and bad debt mixed together — collection rate appears worse than it is, payer analysis impossible
  • Provider bonuses and distributions mixed with payroll — compensation records incomplete, potential compliance exposure
  • Patient credit balances recognized as income — overstated revenue, patient refund liability hidden
  • All supply purchases in one account — no visibility into where medical supply costs are rising

What Turnkey CFO gives you

  • ERA/EOB reconciled to bank deposits monthly — underpayments, denials, and lag surfaced by payer, not lumped as "insurance income"
  • Contractual adjustments recorded separately from bad debt — true collection rate visible by payer
  • Provider compensation reconciled monthly — salary, wRVU bonus, or distribution, every provider's pay documented correctly
  • Patient credit balances tracked as a liability — never recognized as income until applied or refunded
  • Medical supply expense categorized by type — physician-preference items vs. consumables vs. capital

BUILT FOR MEDICAL PRACTICES

Insurance, payroll, and clean books, month after month.

Collections and provider payroll, tied out monthly.

What we handle

Everything your practice needs. Nothing it doesn't.

01

Monthly bookkeeping & close

Accurate categorization of insurance reimbursements, patient payments, contractual adjustments, provider compensation, and all operating expenses. Full monthly close with P&L, balance sheet, and commentary — with a payer-mix breakout so you know which payers are performing and which are eroding collections. See all services

Core
02

ERA/EOB to deposit reconciliation

Every ERA payment matched to the corresponding bank deposit and reconciled against claims billed. Underpayments, recoupments, and lagged payments surfaced by payer and date — so you catch the commercial payer that's paying 45 days late and the government payer that clawed back a payment without notice.

Most popular
03

Provider compensation reconciliation (RVU-based)

Provider salary, wRVU-based bonus, and owner distributions reconciled to payroll and documented monthly. Each provider's total compensation tracked separately so your books support the calculation if ever reviewed under fair market value standards — and so your CPA has clean data for Schedule K-1 or W-2 treatment at year-end.

Most popular
04

Credentialing expense tracking

Credentialing fees, DEA registration, state medical license renewals, malpractice insurance premiums, and hospital privileging costs tracked by provider and renewal date. Know what credentialing costs per FTE, and never miss a renewal that could interrupt your ability to bill a payer.

Ops
05

Patient credit balance liability tracking

Patient overpayments create a refund liability — not income. We track your patient credit balance monthly by aging bucket, flag balances due for refund under your policy, and ensure they never flow through revenue. Keeps your collections reporting clean and your compliance posture defensible.

Compliance
06

Medical supply categorization

Medical supplies categorized by type — physician-preference implants and devices (high-cost, patient-specific), general consumables (exam gloves, syringes, wound care), and capital equipment. Gives you the cost granularity to see which supply categories are rising and where contract renegotiation makes sense.

Ops
07

Payer-mix P&L reporting

Revenue, contractual adjustments, bad debt, and net collections reported by payer category — Medicare, Medicaid, commercial, and self-pay broken out separately. Know your effective reimbursement rate by payer and where write-offs are concentrated before your billing company tells you to renegotiate your contracts.

Most popular

Tax filings and legal matters — coordinated with your CPA or attorney. Turnkey CFO does not provide tax or legal advice; we keep your books filing-ready and support the process end-to-end.

Client results

Collections you can finally see.

★★★★★
"We finally see our collections by payer category every month and understand our write-off rates. Turns out our Medicare Advantage write-offs were running 4 points higher than commercial — we had no idea until Turnkey CFO built that breakout for us."

A payer-mix breakout that surfaced a 4-point write-off gap the practice had never been able to see.

Questions

Questions medical practices ask us first.

Do you replace our CPA?+
No — we work alongside your CPA. We keep books clean and filing-ready year-round so your CPA can file without a month of cleanup. If you need a CPA who specializes in medical practices, we can refer one.
What is ERA/EOB reconciliation and why does it matter?+
An ERA is the payer's explanation of how they processed a claim — what they paid, adjusted, and left to the patient. We reconcile ERA payments to your bank deposits and match them against billed charges so you can see underpayments, denials, and lag by payer — rather than discovering problems weeks later.
What is the difference between a contractual adjustment and bad debt?+
A contractual adjustment is the discount you agreed to under a payer contract — expected and not collectible. Bad debt is a patient balance you billed correctly but cannot collect. Mixing them overstates bad debt and hides payer-specific performance. We track them separately every month.
Can you handle wRVU-based provider compensation reconciliation?+
Yes. We reconcile monthly wRVU reports to payroll and document the calculation for each provider — useful for internal accuracy and for supporting the compensation structure if reviewed under fair market value standards.
How do you handle patient credit balances?+
Patient credit balances are a liability — you owe the patient a refund or must apply the credit to a future visit. They should never be recognized as income. We track the liability monthly and flag balances aging past your practice's refund policy.
How do you handle HIPAA-conscious financial data?+
We work with aggregate financial outputs — ERA/EOB summary reports, deposit batches, and provider productivity summaries — that contain no PHI. All platform access is role-scoped per QuickBooks Online, Gusto, and Ramp security standards. Professional liability insurance maintained.
Is our data secure?+
Everything lives in QuickBooks Online, Gusto, and Ramp — enterprise-grade platforms with role-scoped access. Credentials are never shared by email and we maintain professional liability insurance.
Can we cancel?+
Month-to-month, 30-day notice. No multi-year contracts. We keep clients because the work is good, not because the paperwork traps them.
