Building a More Reliable Bookkeeping Process for a U.S. Healthcare Provider
A U.S.-based healthcare practice partnered with KnowVisory Global after internal staffing changes created bookkeeping delays and process gaps. Our dedicated team took on core bookkeeping activities across AR, AP, banking, credit cards, payroll, and month-end support—helping the practice establish a more structured, timely, and reliable accounting workflow.
Introduction
A U.S.-based healthcare practice needed dependable bookkeeping support after an internal staffing change left its accounting function stretched. Delays in closing activities and incomplete financial processes were making it harder to maintain consistent day-to-day bookkeeping.
The practice partnered with KnowVisory Global to provide outsourced bookkeeping services across accounts receivable, accounts payable, banking, credit cards, payroll, and month-end activities.
Our consistent support helped the practice establish a more structured bookkeeping workflow, improve financial visibility, and introduce process improvements that make recurring accounting activities more consistent and manageable.
The Problem
Internal staffing change made it increasingly difficult to manage day-to-day bookkeeping activities efficiently, resulting in delays and gaps in the accounting process. The practice was experiencing:
- Delays in accounting and closing activities
- Incomplete financial processes
- Pressure on existing accounting resources
- The need for more consistent day-to-day bookkeeping
- Limited capacity to manage recurring accounting tasks efficiently
Decision to Transition
The client was looking for an experienced third-party bookkeeping provider to bring consistency to its accounting activities. Our team was engaged to work alongside the existing finance function, following a predefined schedule of daily, weekly, and monthly activities.
The objective was straightforward: keep bookkeeping current, maintain accurate records, support timely closing activities, and provide the practice with a reliable extension of its accounting team.
The Challenge
The engagement required us to work within the client’s existing processes while maintaining a consistent rhythm of accounting activities.
Key requirements included:
- Keeping daily financial transactions recorded consistently
- Managing recurring AP and AR activities on schedule
- Maintaining accurate bank and credit card reconciliations
- Supporting payroll accounting every two weeks
- Responding quickly to urgent and ad hoc requests
- Improving coordination around month-end activities
The team also needed to work across several systems and communication channels, including QuickBooks Desktop, E-Medical, CardConnect/Cardknox, American Express, and Gusto.
The Solution
We assigned a dedicated two-member team comprising a Senior Accounts Specialist and an Accounts Specialist who followed the client’s predefined schedule to managed bookkeeping activities across daily, weekly, and monthly cycles:
- Recorded daily collections, including cash, checks, electronic payments, and insurance deposits.
- Managed invoice processing, vendor records and queries, statement reconciliations, payment applications, and aging reports.
- Reconciled bank accounts and credit card transactions and performed credit card variance analysis to identify discrepancies and improve visibility.
- Posted payroll journal entries for the client’s bi-weekly payroll cycle and prepared requested monthly reports to support the month-end process.
- Created a month-close calendar with defined timelines for individual accounting activities, improving visibility and coordination around closing activities.
- Introduced a streamlined, one-step approach to provider bonus calculations, reducing manual effort and creating a more consistent recurring process. Vendor information was also organized with detailed notes for easier reference and follow-up.
- Managed urgent and ad hoc requirements through Microsoft Teams and email, prioritizing requests according to deadlines while maintaining scheduled bookkeeping activities.
The Result
Conclusion
- The engagement helped the practice establish a more structured bookkeeping environment, improve the timeliness of recurring accounting activities, and reduce the operational pressure on its internal finance function.
