Episode 173: Your Practice, Your Numbers: Why Owning Your Financial Data Matters
Navigating Finances and Tech for Your Therapy Practice
In this episode of Therapy for Your Money, Julie Herres, owner and accountant at GreenOak Accounting, discusses how technology impacts financial management for therapy practice owners. This episode was recorded after the unexpected closure of Bench.co, a popular bookkeeping service, which sparked this important conversation about owning your financial data and the potential risks of relying solely on cheap, tech-driven accounting options.
Julie breaks down some of the challenges with services like Bench, such as their proprietary software that can make it hard to move your data elsewhere, and those "free" tax services that might not be as thorough or accountable as you'd hope. She also draws parallels to what's happening in the mental health industry, where venture capital-backed tech companies are influencing pricing and reimbursement rates. This episode will help you feel more informed and empowered to make the best decisions for your practice's financial health and to choose accounting services you can truly trust.
