At Goodman CPA, we’re inspired by the work being done by Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinics every day. These practices are transforming healthcare by prioritizing personal, accessible, and relationship-driven care. DPC models remove the barriers of insurance-driven systems to focus on what matters most: patient care.

But while the DPC model is revolutionary for patients, we understand it comes with unique financial challenges. From managing membership billing to scaling sustainably, running a DPC clinic requires a different kind of financial strategy—and that’s where we come in.


The Unique Financial Needs of DPC Clinics

Unlike traditional healthcare offices, DPC practices operate under a completely different financial structure. Here’s how they differ and why specialized support is essential:

  1. Membership-Based Income
  2. DPC clinics rely on recurring membership payments instead of the unpredictable nature of insurance reimbursements. This creates more stability but requires careful cash flow management to handle fluctuating expenses and long-term planning.
  3. Lean Overhead
  4. By cutting out insurance billing and unnecessary administrative costs, DPC clinics operate with leaner overhead. While this is a huge advantage, it also means balancing tight budgets while ensuring scalability for future growth.
  5. Patient-Centric Care
  6. DPC models focus on personalized relationships and delivering high-quality care, not high patient volumes. This approach is transformative but requires financial systems that allow physicians to focus on patients—not bookkeeping or tax compliance.

How Goodman CPA Supports DPC Clinics

We specialize in helping DPC clinics navigate these unique challenges and build sustainable financial systems that allow them to grow while staying true to their mission. Here’s how we can help:

1. Proactive Tax Strategies

We don’t just file your taxes—we plan ahead to ensure you’re maximizing deductions and minimizing liabilities. From managing deductions on office space and professional fees to structuring your practice for tax efficiency, our strategies help you save money year-round.

2. Cash Flow Management

Membership-based revenue creates consistency, but expenses can fluctuate. We’ll help you develop a cash flow strategy that ensures stability while leaving room for growth opportunities—like hiring staff, upgrading technology, or expanding locations.

3. Tailored Financial Planning

Every DPC practice is different, which is why we create customized financial plans aligned with your goals. Whether you’re scaling your practice, opening a second location, or building cash reserves, we’ll guide you through the financial planning process so you can grow with confidence.


Why DPC Practices Need a CPA Who “Gets It”

DPC clinics aren’t like traditional healthcare offices, and your accounting shouldn’t be either. Generic financial services won’t address the specific challenges of your practice. At Goodman CPA, we understand the nuances of the DPC model and tailor our approach to meet your needs.

Here’s why having a CPA who “gets it” matters:

  • Recurring Membership Income: We help you manage predictable income streams while planning for long-term growth.
  • Lean Operations: We assist in keeping overhead low while creating scalable financial systems.
  • Compliance Without Stress: We handle the financial details, so you can focus on delivering exceptional care.

Your Mission Matters to Us

The work you do as a DPC physician is transformative—not just for your patients but for the healthcare industry as a whole. At Goodman CPA, we’re proud to support your mission by giving you the financial tools, strategies, and peace of mind you need to thrive.

If you’re ready to build a financial system that supports your vision and lets you focus on what you do best—caring for patients—we’d love to help.
