Bookkeeping for Health & Wellness Businesses
For Houston chiropractors, med spas, fitness studios, wellness practices, and multi-location health businesses that need cleaner books, faster answers, and financials a bank will actually read.
The bookkeeping problems specific to your industry
Membership & recurring revenue is a mess
Recurring memberships, class passes, and package deals hit your merchant processor as one lump sum. Without careful reconciliation, you can't tell membership revenue from one-off service revenue.
Practitioner splits & 1099s
Contract chiros, aestheticians, or trainers get paid on a percentage split. That has to flow cleanly through payroll or contractor payments so 1099s are correct at year-end.
Inventory of retail products & supplies
Retail supplements, skincare, and merchandise need to be tracked as inventory, not lumped into expenses — otherwise your gross margin is a guess.
Owner-operator commingling
Personal and business spending on the same card is common in solo wellness practices. Sorting that cleanly is a monthly job.
Sales tax on retail vs. services
Texas taxes retail products but not most personal services. Miss the split and you either over-pay or get a letter from the Comptroller.
Preparing for a second location
Expanding to a second studio or clinic means a lender needs 2–3 years of clean, comparable financials. Most wellness businesses don't have them.

Common questions
Do you work with med spas that also sell retail products?
Yes. We set up separate income accounts for services, memberships, and retail so you can see actual gross margin on the retail side. We also handle inventory tracking so cost of goods sold is accurate.
Can you handle payroll for practitioners on a revenue split?
We coordinate with your payroll provider (Gusto, ADP, QBO Payroll) and set up the QuickBooks side so contractor splits and W-2 practitioners both flow correctly. At year-end, 1099s are ready to file.
What if I'm behind on the books?
That's most of our new health & wellness clients. We do a paid diagnostic, quote the cleanup as a flat fee, and rebuild the prior months before starting monthly service.
