Industry
Built for independent healthcare practices.
CPA services for Indiana independent healthcare practices — dental, vet, PT, chiropractic, optometry — covering tax, payroll, and practice-owner planning.

Independent practices serve a vital role in the Parkview / Lutheran ecosystem — dentists, vets, physical therapists, chiropractors, optometrists, mental-health groups. Most are S-corps owned by the practitioner-owner. Most have specific tax dynamics: high deductible equipment, retirement-plan optimization, multi-provider compensation, and HIPAA-affected operations.
What's specific about taxing an Indiana dental or vet practice?
Equipment: dental chairs, vet imaging, PT modalities are all significant capital purchases — section 179 and bonus depreciation timing affects current-year tax materially. Retirement: profitable practitioner-owners can save substantial amounts in SEP-IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, or defined-benefit plans on top of S-corp compensation.
Multi-provider compensation: associate dentists, vet relief vets, contract PTs — each has classification implications (1099 vs. W-2) and impacts the owner's K-1.
Should I have an Accountable Plan for my practice?
Yes — practitioner-owners typically incur substantial business expenses on personal cards (continuing education, equipment, mileage, home office for admin). An Accountable Plan lets the practice reimburse those without making them taxable to the owner.
How do you handle practice transitions?
Selling a dental, vet, or PT practice is its own tax event — purchase price allocation between goodwill, equipment, accounts receivable, and the owner's covenant not to compete drives the tax treatment significantly. We model alongside the practice-transition specialist (we don't do brokerage; we do the tax seat).
