Accounting & Tax Services for Pharmacists in Toronto
Running a pharmacy isn’t quite like running any other business. You have prescriptions to manage, staff schedules to prepare, and patients to take care of, so the financial side often feels like a second full-time job of its own. That’s where Stratos Accounting & Consulting comes in. We specialize in accounting for pharmacists in Toronto, helping pharmacy owners stay compliant, improve tax efficiency, and always know exactly what is happening with their finances.
Our team of healthcare accounting specialists understands the daily challenges of operating a pharmacy. Whether you own an independent shop or manage multiple locations through a pharmacist professional corporation (PC), Stratos will make your numbers work as hard as you do.
Why Pharmacists Need Industry-Specific Accounting Support
Pharmacies come with very unique financial needs that go far beyond what a standard business accountant handles. From third-party payor reimbursements and insurance billing to drug inventory tracking and strict Ontario pharmacy regulations, you need someone with industry experience to manage everything properly and efficiently.
Our pharmacy accounting services are built specifically for your world. We will help you stay organized and compliant while keeping your focus where it belongs: on running your pharmacy and supporting your patients. With Stratos, you get clear, accurate financial insights and reliable HST filing for pharmacies and CRA compliance support, all tailored to the realities of your profession.
Common Financial Challenges in Pharmacy Practices
Insurance Billing & Reimbursement Tracking
If you’ve ever waited weeks for a reimbursement, you know how frustrating insurance delays can be. Stratos helps you keep track of it all by simplifying insurance reimbursement reconciliation and third-party payor reconciliation, so you always know what’s coming in and when. We’ve perfected our process, so you will always have accurate receivables and be up to date with your predictable cash flow, enabling your operations to run at full efficiency.
Drug Inventory & Cost Management
Given the values involved, inventory accuracy is one of the biggest factors in pharmacy profitability. We help you maintain precise pharmacy inventory management so you can track your cost of goods sold (COGS), reduce shrinkage, and protect your margins. Whether you’re using Kroll, Fillware, or WinRx, we set up our systems to seamlessly connect with yours, delivering dependable drug inventory tracking and reporting.
Payroll and Staffing Costs
Managing payroll can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when dealing with part-time and relief pharmacists. Stratos provides complete pharmacy payroll services, handling everything from pay runs to staff remittances to the CRA. This will give you peace of mind that everyone is paid correctly and on time, without you needing to get bogged down in administrative work.
How Stratos Improves Your Pharmacy’s Financial Performance
At Stratos, our goal is always to help you achieve better control, higher profitability, and peace of mind. We take the stress out of pharmacy bookkeeping and provide you with all the information and insights to help you make smarter decisions. Whether you’re looking to expand, optimize costs, or improve compliance, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
Precise Monthly Bookkeeping & Real-Time Reporting
When you know your numbers, you can make stronger business decisions. This is why our monthly pharmacy bookkeeping and pharmacy financial reporting keep your books organized and up to date. You’ll get real-time visibility into your cash flow, expenses, and performance so you can stay ahead of any potential issues.
Corporate Tax Planning for Pharmacist-Owned PCs
Owning a pharmacist professional corporation (PC) offers several tax advantages, but also comes with potential headaches. It’s critical for a PC to be set up and managed correctly. We specialize in corporate tax for pharmacists, ensuring your PC is structured for maximum tax efficiency and compliance. From strategic income splitting for pharmacists to dividend planning, we help you make the most of every opportunity.
Cash Flow Forecasting & Profit Strategy Advisory
It’s one thing to manage the present, but planning for the future is where your pharmacy can really grow. Through our pharmacy business advisory services, we help you build strong pharmacy business cash flow strategies and profit plans that anticipate seasonal shifts and reimbursement cycles. We’ll work with you to develop practical, data-driven solutions that align with your goals.
HST Filing & CRA Compliance Support
Let’s be honest, nobody enjoys dealing with the CRA, so accurate filing and documentation can make all the difference and prevent you from having to deal with them. Stratos provides hands-on HST filing for pharmacies and full CRA compliance support to minimize the risk of audit exposure. You’ll stay compliant, prepared, and free from unnecessary stress.
