Dental practice bookkeeping that matches how a clinic actually runs

Associate draws, hygienist payroll, lab invoices, supply orders, equipment leases and insurer deposits do not look like a generic small-business file. We categorize and reconcile them in QuickBooks Online so you and your accountant are not guessing at year-end.

Monthly bookkeeping

Production-related deposits, lab and supply costs, and owner draws coded each month — not left in a pile for April.

Bank, Visa & Amex reconciliation

Every clinic account matched line by line, including corporate cards used for equipment, CE and supply runs.

QuickBooks Online for clinics

Chart of accounts, clean-up and ongoing support shaped for a dental professional corporation or solo practice.

Payroll

Hygienists, assistants, admin staff and associate arrangements recorded alongside the books so wages and remittances line up.

HST records

HST tracked in your books with reports ready for filing conversations with your CPA — including mixed exempt and taxable activity when it applies.

Year-end package for your CPA

Reconciled books, schedules and notes handed to your accountant so corporate tax and DPC questions have fewer back-and-forths.

We work alongside your accountant or CPA — we do not replace them, and nothing on this site is tax advice.

Why dental practices choose us

We speak clinic, not generic small business

Whether you run a general practice or a specialty clinic — orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, oral surgery or pediatric dentistry — the money story is specific. Here is how bookkeeping supports it.

Dental professional corporations & owner pay

Many Ontario dentists practise through a dental professional corporation (DPC). Owner compensation may involve salary, dividends or both — your CPA decides the tax structure; we keep the books clear so draws, wages and corporate accounts are easy to review. General description only — not tax advice.

HST: exempt care, taxable cosmetics

CRA guidance is that most dental services by licensed dentists for medical reasons are GST/HST-exempt, while cosmetic procedures that are not medical or reconstructive are generally taxable. Practices with both may face input tax credit limits. We organize the records; your CPA advises on filing.

Associates, hygienists, labs & leases

Associate pay models, hygienist and team payroll, lab fees, clinical supplies, and equipment financing or leases all need consistent coding. Multi-location clinics get separate clarity without losing the big picture.

Day sheets, insurance & CDCP deposits

Patient payments, insurer EFTs and Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) deposits should tie to what left the practice management system. We reconcile those deposits in QuickBooks Online against your bank — so collections are not a mystery at month-end.

Practice software → QuickBooks Online

Clinics often run Dentrix, ABELDent, Tracker, Curve, ClearDent or similar. We are not affiliated with those products; we use the reports and exports you already produce so QuickBooks stays the financial source of truth.

Month-end close & practice KPIs

A steady close supports the numbers owners watch: production, collections and overhead percentage. We keep the books current so you and your CPA can read the story without a year-end scramble.

FAQ

Questions dental practice owners ask

Straight answers. Where tax rules are involved, we point to CRA or your CPA — we do not give tax advice.

Do you only work with dental practices?

Dentists and dental practices are our primary focus, including specialists (orthodontists, periodontists, endodontists, oral surgeons, pediatric dentists). Physicians and other health professionals are welcome when they need the same careful QuickBooks Online bookkeeping.

Do you replace our accountant or CPA?

No. We provide bookkeeping and related record-keeping. We work alongside your accountant or CPA and prepare clean packages for them. We do not provide tax advice or file your corporate tax return.

How does HST usually work for a dental practice in Canada?

Per the Canada Revenue Agency, most dental services performed by licensed dentists for medical reasons are exempt from GST/HST. Cosmetic procedures that are not for medical or reconstructive purposes are generally taxable, and input tax credits may be limited when a practice makes both exempt and taxable supplies. Your CPA should confirm how this applies to you; we keep the books organized. General information only — not tax advice. Sources: CRA “Type of supply”; CRA Notice 339.

Can you reconcile insurance and CDCP deposits with our day sheets?

Yes. We match bank deposits — including insurer EFTs and CDCP payments where they apply — to your statements and practice records in QuickBooks Online. The Government of Canada notes that CDCP providers typically receive payment by EFT or cheque through the plan administrator.

Which practice management systems do you work with?

We bookkeep in QuickBooks Online. Practices commonly share reports from Dentrix, ABELDent, Tracker, Curve, ClearDent or similar. No affiliation — we use what your clinic already produces.
