Do I need a Texas-licensed CPA to work with a medical practice cpas in Houston?+
For Texas state filings, your preparer should hold a CPA license from the Texas Board of Accountancy or be an Enrolled Agent.

How much does accounting cost for a medical practice?+
Solo and small practices typically run $700–$1,500/month. Group practices with multiple providers run $1,500–$3,000/month, and CFO-level advisory for expansion or transitions runs higher.
Do you work with dental and specialty practices too?+
Most medical practice CPAs also serve dental, chiropractic, physical therapy, mental health, and other specialty practices — the underlying accounting challenges (insurance revenue, provider comp) are similar across specialties.
Can a practice CPA integrate with our PMS or EHR system?+
Most do — pulling production and collections data directly from your practice management or EHR system and reconciling it to bank deposits keeps your financials accurate without manual re-entry.
What is RVU-based compensation and why does it matter for accounting?+
Relative Value Unit compensation ties provider pay to the value of services performed rather than straight collections. It requires specialized calculation that a generalist accountant typically isn't set up to handle correctly.
Can this type of CPA help with a partner buy-in or practice sale?+
Yes — preparing clean, defensible financials and providing valuation-relevant inputs is a common engagement for practice-focused CPAs, usually coordinated alongside attorneys handling the legal transaction.
