Specialty Services

The medical practice of the twenty-first century is vastly different from those established twenty or even ten years ago. Establishing and managing a practice is far more difficult and costly. Managed care, which controls a much greater share of the market, governs physician income. Federal regulatory requirements have multiplied and the time available for a physician to learn about these issues, much less deal with them, has greatly decreased. The best and most rewarding use of a physician's time is in the treatment of patients. Frost & Company P.C. provides assistance in all phases of a practice's life and in all areas of practice operations, to help you manage the operations of the practice efficiently, so you can devote your time to treating patients.

It is not good enough to be able to prepare a practice financial statement or a tax return. The firm doing the preparation must understand healthcare; including the indicators and implications reflected by the data presented on the financial statement, and have the ability to translate those implications into planning opportunities, which lead to tax savings. Our firm views the tax return as a by-product of the financial awareness and planning opportunities recognized during the preparation of the periodic financial reports, which in turn produces the most advantageous financial and tax posture.
