Medical centres have many unique bookkeeping challenges and requirements. It is important that you understand these if you own a practice, clinic or other healthcare-related business. In order to uncover ways to increase profitability, and avoid needless costs, bookkeeping accountants work toward maximising every dollar, despite the often low margins involved.
At Wilson Pateras, we provide tailored services as doctor accountants in Melbourne, offering a unique approach to this complicated space. Managing your books for you, we’ll keep you compliant and in line with all relevant tax laws and requirements. meanwhile, our team will always provide you with the reports and data you need to better understand how to increase your practice’s profitability and efficiency, and effectively plan for the future.
Many businesses in this sector share the same accounting problems and often, they compound one another. When this happens, it’s almost impossible to know where you stand. One day you could have a positive cash-flow problem and the next, you could have an issue that makes it appear you are losing money, when you may not be.
Poor financial planning, unreliable reporting and inadequate or ineffective documentation are the top three reasons you might get audited by the Australian Tax Office. If you don’t get these things right, you could end up paying more in penalties than you would have otherwise. At Wilson Pateras, our business accounting experts ensure all of these bases are covered, giving you a team of medical accountants and bookkeepers who know every detail involved in these matters.
Ideally, your bookkeeping should start long before your medical facility opens its doors for business. Doing it this way will ensure that all your accounting transactions are recorded accurately and you have all the necessary financial reports you need to make well-informed decisions about your business.
As accountants for medical practitioners, we’ll ensure your clinic or centre is ready to take on new clients and go public, without any financial risks involved.
There’s never a bad time to start establishing good medical bookkeeping practices as an already-existing healthcare business. If you get your books in order and implement the right financial reporting and planning as soon as possible, you’ll set your business on the right course for success. Gain a clear picture of where you’re heading, and identify challenges before they hit, so you’re always well-prepared for any hurdles.
Take advantage of opportunities as they arise, without getting tripped up by them. Let us create a workable budget for your business and guide you towards sticking to it. Know where your money’s going and how your revenue streams are performing. No matter what aspect of your financial situation you need clarity on, we’ll provide it.

Principal
With over 25 years’ experience in the business services and professional advice space, I have been fortunate to have experienced and given guidance on many tax and non-tax issues over my professional lifetime to a wide variety of clients in industries including manufacturing, law, retail, property, medical and the professional services industries.
A selection of those areas of advice include structuring and restructuring options for businesses and investment using trusts, companies and self-managed superannuation funds dealing with tax such as CGT, GST and Stamp Duty, assistance with audits conducted by various tax bodies and negotiations with the Australian Taxation Office or State Revenue Office on behalf of clients, advice and guidance in relation to family, estate and business succession planning, international tax, deceased estates and management consulting.
Principal
I am an extremely client focused individual who strives to provide the best possible advice to my clients. My approach of putting the client first has built considerable trust between myself and my clients. I place great emphasis on building and maintaining client relationships.
I have over 18 years experience in professional practice working on diverse client bases ranging from small, medium and large businesses to high net worth individuals. I am a member of CPA Australia, hold a Bachelor of Science from the University of Melbourne, a Graduate Diploma in Accounting from Monash University and I am a registered tax agent.
My experience is diverse from the preparation of tax returns and financial statements for all types of entities, to tax planning and business structuring strategies, to navigating through ATO audits, assisting clients with family law matters and have experience consulting to international corporations. I also have an interest in accounting software and information technology, and have previously spent a number of years as a part time IT manager.
I joined Wilson Pateras to be part of a dynamic and growing organisation that strives to provide the highest quality of advice to its clients whilst developing its people to their full potential.
Manager
I joined Wilson Pateras with 18 years’ experience in professional practice, specialising in areas of taxation for high net worth individuals as well as trusts, companies and Self Managed Superannuation Funds. I am a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) and have a degree in Bachelor of Business – Accountancy.
My main focus is my clients, ensuring that I can assist with the improvement/enhancement of their net worth as well as the facilitation of their daily taxation requirements. This includes maintaining correct records, teaching the use of accounting software programs and identifying efficient and cost effective ways of doing things.
Over the years, one thing that I have learned from a mentor was to always ensure that clients receive a reply on the same day. I can proudly say that this approach has allowed me to maintain a professional relationship with my clients who can rely on a great service and that trust that their needs are given importance.
Director
With my years of experience, I have acted as an adviser, strategist, negotiator and counsellor to hundreds of business owners. Over this period, I have gained a wealth of knowledge about what makes businesses and their owners tick. I am passionate about understanding the key drivers of business performance and helping business owners achieve their full potential.
My business life has taken me through all sorts of structures including private business partnerships and executive roles in listed public companies. More recently, I established Wilson Pateras in conjunction with Nick Pateras. We recognised a gap in the market place for a more personalised approach to servicing clients needs.
The world is constantly changing which creates new challenges for business owners. In these times Wilson Pateras remains a constant to help guide our clients towards future success.
