Why ABA Practices Need More Than a Bookkeeper

Most bookkeepers can enter data. Some can even reconcile accounts.

But ABA practices are not like coffee shops or online stores. You juggle complex payroll structures, delayed payer reimbursements, and compliance rules that don’t apply to other businesses.

That’s why a generic bookkeeper isn’t enough.

What’s Missing

• Funding source tracking. Insurance, Medicaid, private pay — all with different rules.

• Payroll complexity. Billing therapists by hours, clients, and locations.

• Compliance nuances. Reporting requirements that can’t be overlooked.

A “data entry” bookkeeper doesn’t solve these problems. You need someone who understands the ABA business model.

The Advisory Difference

When your finance partner moves from bookkeeper → advisor, you gain:

• Cash flow clarity to survive payer delays.

• Budget insight to decide when to hire or expand.

• Metrics that matter like revenue per therapist or utilization rates.

Why It Matters

Advisory isn’t about more spreadsheets. It’s about giving you a roadmap for growth. Numbers that guide, not just record.

Don’t settle for someone who just tracks the past. Partner with someone who helps you shape the future.
