Enhance Your Financial Reporting
Optometrist Accountant Saskatchewan
For optometrists, your primary focus is providing visual clarity and excellent eye care to your patients. However, running a successful practice requires more than clinical expertise; it demands rigorous financial management and strategic foresight. Whether you are a solo practitioner in South Saskatchewan, a partner in a clinic in East-Central Saskatchewan, or a new graduate navigating the landscape of Regulated Professions, the administrative burden of recording transactions, managing billing systems, and ensuring compliance can be overwhelming.
At Murray, Sen & Associates, we specialize in professional optometry accounting. We understand the unique regulatory and financial environment defined by the Saskatchewan Association of Optometrists, the Optometry Act, and Optometric Professional Bylaws. We are not just a tax firm; we are your partners in financial success, helping you navigate the complexities of running a Professional Corporation so you can focus on patient care.
Specialized Services for Optometry Professionals
We offer a suite of tax and business advisory solutions tailored to the lifecycle of an optometrist’s career, from healthcare students entering the workforce to established practitioners planning for retirement.
1. Incorporation and Professional Practice Structuring
Structuring your practice correctly is the foundation of financial health. We guide you through the process of incorporating an Optometry Professional Corporation under the Business Corporations Act and obtaining your Certificate of Authorization. We ensure your structure complies with licensing requirements while maximizing tax planning opportunities. By retaining earnings within a corporation, you can defer personal tax and accelerate wealth accumulation.
2. Comprehensive Tax Planning and Compliance
Our team provides robust tax services designed to minimize liability and ensure compliance. We handle corporate tax preparation, personal tax preparation, and GST/PST filings. We actively look for deductions relevant to your industry, from equipment depreciation to medical supplies. We also provide Assurance Services, ensuring that your financial statements meet all regulatory standards, which is vital when dealing with banks or insurance providers.
3. Practice Management and Outsourced Accounting
Efficient operations lead to higher profitability. We offer outsourced accounting services to take the weight of daily bookkeeping off your shoulders. Utilizing modern cloud-based accounting software, we streamline your accounting process, integrating it with your billing systems to manage revenue from medical bills, patient payments, and insurance claims. This real-time data allows for better cash flow management and reduces the stress of year-end reporting.
4. Strategic Planning and Wealth Management
To build long-term wealth, you need a strategic planning partner. We offer business advisory services that go beyond the balance sheet. This includes private wealth management strategies to grow your assets outside of the practice. We also review your risk management strategies, advising on the financial aspects of professional liability insurance and insurance protection to safeguard your practice against unforeseen events.
5. Buying, Selling, and Valuing Practices
Whether you are looking to acquire a practice or sell your own, we provide critical litigation & transaction support. Our business valuation experts help you determine the fair market value of a clinic, ensuring you get the best deal possible. We assist with due diligence, financing proposals, and tax-efficient deal structuring.
6. Estate and Succession
Your practice is a significant asset, and protecting it requires foresight. We specialize in estate planning and succession strategies for owner-managed businesses. Whether you plan to transfer the practice to a junior associate or sell to a third party, we help you design a tailored exit strategy that minimizes tax implications and secures your retirement.
