Healthcare, Med Spas, ALFs & Home Health — Capacity, Cash & Compliance
What We Fix for Small Practices, ALFs, Nursing Homes & Home Healthcare
A Monthly Rhythm for Collections, Payroll Tie-Outs
Healthcare, Med Spas & Senior Care — Capacity, Cash, and Compliance-Aware Workflows
Clinics and care facilities thrive on a steady rhythm. At Take Flight Business Solutions, we help medical and aesthetic practices—and senior care providers—make decisions with timely books, clear dashboards, and a cadence that supports patient care and profitable operations. Led by Brian Dela Cruz, CPA (MA), we understand the mix of provider capacity, rooms, memberships, retail sales tax, payer rules, and staffing that separates thriving organizations from stressed ones.
Who we serve (local + nationwide)
We support organizations across the U.S. from our Florida base—especially around Pensacola, Cantonment, Pace, Gulf Breeze, Milton, Navarre, Perdido, Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, and Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, AL. Typical fits include:
- Small medical practices (family medicine, pediatrics, urgent care, specialists) needing clean books tied to their EHR/PM and a simple cash plan.
- Med spas & aesthetic clinics balancing room/provider capacity, memberships/packages, retail products, and sales tax.
- Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs) optimizing occupancy, tracking deposits/care-level fees, and coordinating payroll across shifts.
- Nursing homes / skilled nursing that need dependable census/occupancy reporting, clean GL mapping for payroll and supplies, and lender-ready statements.
- Home healthcare agencies managing visit volumes, caregiver payroll, mileage/expenses, and multistate considerations as they expand.
What we do (in plain English)
- Capacity & scheduling clarity: Simple math for providers/rooms (or caregivers/visits) so schedules support margin, not just volume.
- Collections visibility (RCM-aware): We summarize collections trend, write-offs, and days in AR in plain English so bottlenecks get attention. (We coordinate with your EHR/PM exports but don’t replace clinical systems.)
- Retail & sales tax where it applies: Correct mapping for product sales (e.g., skincare in med spas) and local sales-tax filing discipline.
- Memberships & packages (med spas): Recognition aligned with delivery; gift card and breakage handled cleanly for trustworthy margin.
- Occupancy & census reporting (ALFs/Nursing homes): Side-by-side views of census, payer mix, and per-resident metrics that reveal true performance.
- Visit-based ops (Home healthcare): Tie caregiver payroll and mileage to service lines and locations so contribution margin is real.
- Payroll tie-outs: Compensation models (hourly, commission, provider/caregiver pay) reconciled to the general ledger so reports agree.
- Cash planning: Short, rolling forecasts for payroll, rent, supplies, taxes, and debt—so staffing decisions and expansions stay controlled.
The healthcare cadence (how it actually works)
- Baseline & targets — We map visit/room capacity, payer/retail mix, census or membership levels, AR days, and cash needs; then set a handful of practical targets (labor %, contribution margin, occupancy, days cash on hand).
- Cleanup & setup (if needed) — We rebuild charts, bank rules, locations/classes, and mapping from EHR/PM/POS/processor exports so accounting reflects operations.
- Monthly review — Reconciliations plus a one-page summary: capacity/occupancy, collections, margin, inventory/supplies, and the 1–3 actions for the next month (pricing, staffing, scheduling, vendor).
- Quarterly planning — Staffing plans, membership price reviews, capex, payer/fee changes, and tax estimates—reviewed early enough to act.
Segment-specific focus
- Small medical practices: Appointment mix, provider utilization, payroll tie-outs, supply costs, simple KPIs (per-provider revenue, AR days, cash runway).
- Med spas: Room/provider capacity, membership/package recognition, retail sales-tax mapping, inventory for injectables/consumables, campaign ROI.
- ALFs: Occupancy trends, deposit/care-level fee tracking, staffing ratios by shift, vendor controls, and clean reporting for lenders/owners.
- Nursing homes: Census and payer-mix reporting, supply and labor variance views, and documentation that supports bank diligence.
- Home healthcare: Visit volumes, caregiver payroll/mileage mapping, route/territory views, and location-level contribution margin.
Common pains we fix (and our fix)
- “We’re busy but cash is tight.” → Collections focus (summarized), labor controls, and clear cash-flow forecasts.
- “Memberships and retail are messy.” → Clean revenue recognition and sales-tax mapping; inventory discipline without over-engineering.
- “Occupancy looks fine, profit doesn’t.” (ALFs/Nursing) → Side-by-side census, payer mix, labor %, and supplies that explain the gap.
- “Payroll and reports don’t match.” → Monthly tie-outs so compensation models and your P&L agree.
- “Multi-location growth is chaotic.” → Location/department classes and practical dashboards so expansion doesn’t break the books.

Healthcare and Medical
Healthcare organizations have highly specific challenges when it comes to matters of accounting, taxation, and finances. Take Flight Business Solutions LLC is dedicated to making your life easier, providing proactive and focused services to medically related businesses large and small.
Typically, the doctors that start small medical practices don't specialize in accounting, payroll, finance, and taxes. Caregivers or nurses who start their own assisted living facility or nursing home, do not specialize in accounting, payroll, finance, and taxes. They would obtain a lot of value from using our services.
We are proud of the trust that our healthcare clientele has placed in us, and we work hard to earn that trust every day. We vigorously pursue information on the latest regulations and requirements, as well as the countless unique issues that face the industry, in order to keep our clients up to date. From bookkeeping and accounting services to reviews of operational performance, we have the commitment, the background and the knowledge you need to ensure that your financial needs are being met with the same level of meticulous care your organization provides to your patients.
We Provide
accounting, tax and financial services for a wide range of healthcare organizations, including:
- Assisted-living facilities
- Home health organizations
- Multi-specialty physician groups
- Nursing homes and long-term care facilities
- Private and group practices for dentists and physicians
- Therapy services
- Wellness centers
HEALTHCARE & MEDICAL FAQs
Why do medical practices need specialized bookkeeping?
Healthcare involves unique revenue streams like insurance reimbursements and patient payments, plus complex expenses such as HIPAA-compliant (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act–compliant) software and medical supplies. We handle accurate coding, reconciliations, and compliance with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and to keep financials audit-ready.
How much does bookkeeping cost for a medical practice?
Plans start at $400/month for core bookkeeping:
- Transaction categorization (EHR (Electronic Health Record), insurance, patient payments)
- Bank & credit card reconciliations
- Monthly P&L (Profit and Loss), balance sheet, cash flow
- CPA (Certified Public Accountant)-reviewed financials Pricing scales with volume. Get a custom quote during your free consult.
Can you help with insurance reimbursement tracking?
Yes. We reconcile EOBs (Explanation of Benefits), track aged A/R (Accounts Receivable), identify underpayments and claim denials. Reports include days in A/R and collection rates to optimize cash flow and reduce delays from billing errors.
Do you handle HIPAA-compliant bookkeeping?
Yes. We use encrypted cloud systems and secure file transfers to keep data safe. We sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with every medical client—this is the legal contract required by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Your patient financial data is protected under HIPAA standards, and we never store Protected Health Information (PHI)—like names or medical record numbers—in accounting files.
What tax deductions do healthcare providers miss?
Common overlooked deductions include:
- CME (Continuing Medical Education) and continuing education
- Medical equipment via Section 179
- Home office for telehealth
- Malpractice insurance
- Supplies like scrubs and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) We maximize these and explore cost segregation for facilities.
Should my practice be an S-corp or LLC?
S-corps (S Corporations) save on self-employment taxes for profits over $150K but require payroll. LLCs (Limited Liability Companies) offer flexibility. We analyze your revenue and state rules (e.g., PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company) requirements) to recommend the optimal structure.
Can you help with buying or selling a medical practice?
Yes. Services include practice valuation, due diligence on financials, and tax-efficient structuring (asset vs. stock sales). We track the basis for equipment and ensure compliance during transitions.
Do you support multi-location or multi-provider groups?
Yes. QuickBooks classes track revenue/expenses by location or provider, delivering individual P&Ls (Profit and Loss statements) and consolidated reports for partnerships or MSOs (Management Services Organizations) in assisted living or physician groups.
