What makes clinic bookkeeping different
Clinics have income and staffing arrangements that most small businesses don't, and we've built our process around them.
Three kinds of client
NDIS participants, Medicare referrals and private families each pay differently, and mixing them up means chasing the wrong people.
Plan manager payments
Lump sum payments from plan managers are hard to match to individual invoices.
Therapists on the road
Travel time, kilometres and reports billed separately make payroll and invoicing harder.
Slow payers
Following up overdue invoices early keeps cash coming in.
Bookkeeping built for speech pathology practices
Funding-aware invoicing
Invoices set up correctly for each funding type, with follow up on overdue accounts.
Payment matching
Plan manager and NDIA payments matched to invoices, helped by the tools behind Remittance Go.
Payroll
Pay runs, travel reimbursements, super on payday and Single Touch Payroll.

Get Your Fixed PriceCommon questions
Are my services GST-free?
Most speech pathology services are GST-free when they're delivered by a recognised professional and are generally accepted as necessary treatment. Some items, like products you sell, usually aren't. We check the treatment of each income line so your BAS is right.
Does my practice software work with Xero?
Cliniko, Nookal, Splose, Zanda (formerly Power Diary), Coreplus and most other practice management systems work with Xero. Depending on how your team uses your practice software, we either use the Xero integration and reconcile it each week, or turn it off, code income from your bank deposits and post month-end journals for receivables, GST and income by practitioner. We recommend the right approach on the call.
Can you help with payroll tax on contractor practitioners?
We set up your books so contractor payments are clearly recorded and easy to review. Payroll tax on contractor arrangements depends on your agreements and your state, so we work alongside your accountant or tax adviser on that question.
How much does it cost?
Fixed monthly packages start from $300/month, based on your transaction volume and pay runs. We give you an exact price on a free 15 minute call.
Do you work with NDIS registered practices?
Yes. See our NDIS provider bookkeeping page for how we handle NDIS payments and SCHADS Award payroll.

Experienced, systemised, and personally accountable
I'm Nathan, a Newcastle local with a finance degree from the University of Newcastle. I spent four years at a Newcastle chartered accounting firm, and it gave me a strong grounding in tax, compliance and how small businesses really run. Along the way I noticed many owners wanted more regular support with their numbers during the year, not just at tax time. So in 2015 I became a Registered BAS Agent and started Stream, to give small business owners the kind of accounts team usually reserved for big business.
Today your books are handled by our bookkeeping team, who follow the same documented process for every client, and I oversee the quality of the work. Matching Medicare, NDIS and health fund payments was taking our team 40+ hours a month, so I co-founded Remittance Go to automate it. Our clients get the benefit.
Since 2015 we've helped hundreds of business owners, and today most of our clients are allied health practices.
