Run the practice
without running the books

Most private practices do not need more reports. They need the books handled and a straight answer when a decision comes up: bringing on an associate, adding an office, taking on more telehealth clients. Cooper Norman handles the monthly accounting, payroll, and tax work, then stays close enough to advise when it matters.

Frequently
asked
questions

Why do therapists and counselors hire an accounting firm?

Because the books compete with your clients for attention. Accounting done right takes real time and real focus, and most practice owners would rather spend both on the people they serve. Handing off bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes puts that time back where you want it.

What does monthly accounting for a therapy practice include?

Bookkeeping, bills paid on time and in the right amounts, payroll for your team, and records kept current so you always know where the practice stands financially.

Do you prepare taxes for therapy practices?

Yes. We prepare returns for private practices, handle the forms, and plan through the year so filing season is a checkpoint instead of a scramble. Careful preparation also means fewer errors and fewer revisions later.

I see clients by telehealth in more than one state. Does that change my taxes?

It can. Where you and your clients are located can affect how you file. Rather than guessing, bring it to us and we will sort out what applies to your practice before it becomes a problem.

Can you help me plan, not just file?

That is most of the value. We build budgets and forecasts from what we see across the industry, and we advise on the decisions behind the numbers: adding an associate, raising rates, opening a second location. Good years and hard ones both.

Why Cooper Norman?

We have worked with therapists and counselors on tax and accounting for decades, and the firm has been at it since 1954. Six offices across Idaho and Utah, and a habit of giving straight answers when a decision is on the table.
