Finance for medical and aesthetic practices

Medical and aesthetic practices are often run by clinicians who are excellent at patient care and short on time for financial analysis. As practices add providers or locations, the gap between running the practice and understanding its economics gets wider.

Provider productivity

Provider time is the practice's main capacity. Tracking visits or procedures per provider, revenue per provider hour, and schedule utilization shows where capacity is underused and where it's maxed out.

Service line margins

Not all services earn the same margin. Separating revenue and direct costs by service line, including products, consumables, and provider compensation, shows which services drive profit and which mostly drive volume.

Cash flow and collections

Practices that bill insurance need close tracking of claims, denials, and days in receivables. Cash-pay and aesthetic practices need to manage deposits, packages, and patient financing carefully so revenue is recognized correctly and cash is forecast accurately.

Marketing return

Many practices, especially aesthetic ones, spend heavily on marketing. Connecting lead sources to consultations, bookings, and revenue shows which channels pay off.

Multi-location reporting

Each location needs its own P&L with consistent coding, so owners can compare performance and decide where to invest.

A simple monthly package

• Revenue and margin by service line and location
• Provider productivity and utilization
• Marketing spend and cost per new patient
• Cash position and a short-term cash forecast

With that package in place, decisions about adding a provider, opening a location, or changing prices are based on the practice's own numbers instead of intuition.
