Financial Expertise Built for Healthcare Practices
Reimbursement accounting, physician compensation structures, practice valuations, and healthcare-specific tax planning require advisors who work in the industry. Archer Lewis works with medical practices, dental groups, clinics, and healthcare organizations.
Our Approach
Financial advisors who understand how healthcare businesses operate.
Healthcare practices operate under financial constraints and regulatory requirements that most businesses don't face: insurance reimbursement cycles, provider compensation structures, practice management overhead, and a regulatory environment that affects everything from entity structure to compensation planning. Archer Lewis works with independent practices, group practices, specialty clinics, and healthcare organizations to handle the accounting, tax planning, and financial strategy that keeps them financially healthy and compliant.

Talk to a Healthcare AdvisorCommon Questions
What healthcare practices ask us.
It depends on ownership structure, liability considerations, and tax planning goals. Professional corporations, S-corps, and partnerships all have different implications for healthcare practices. We analyze your specific situation (including state law requirements for professional entities) and recommend the structure that works best.
The balance between salary and distributions has significant tax implications for physician-owned S-corps. Too little salary creates IRS risk; too much leaves money on the table. We model the optimal structure based on your practice's profitability and your personal tax situation.
Healthcare practice owners often have higher incomes and later-career peaks, making defined benefit plans particularly valuable for tax deferral. We analyze your income, age, and practice structure to identify the retirement plan design that produces the maximum tax benefit.
Yes. Multi-location practices create complexity in cost allocation, inter-entity transactions, and multi-state compliance. We handle the full picture: consolidated financial reporting, location-level profitability, and compliance across every state where you operate.
