Why More Dentists Are Outsourcing Their Bookkeeping (And You Should Too)
You went to dental school, not accounting school-and yet, many dentists still spend their evenings wrangling spreadsheets and chasing down receipts. The good news? You don’t have to. Outsourced bookkeeping offers dentists a reliable, accurate, and stress-free way to manage their finances while focusing on patient care and practice growth.

Dental practices are operationally complex. You’re dealing with a combination of:
- Fee-for-service and insurance-based billing
- Large equipment purchases and depreciation
- Product sales (e.g., whitening kits, oral care supplies)
- Complex payroll across admin, hygienists, and dental associates
- Recurring licensing, CE, and compliance expenses
Outsourcing your bookkeeping to a firm that understands dental practices means you get accuracy, timely reporting, and peace of mind-without needing to hire or manage in-house staff.
With RemoteBooksOnline, we create dental-specific charts of accounts, integrate with practice management tools like Dentrix or Open Dental, and ensure every dollar is tracked, categorized, and ready for tax season.
Test Case: From Manual Mess to Monthly Confidence
Dr. Nguyen in California was spending 12+ hours a month reviewing bank transactions and categorizing income from her 3-location practice. RemoteBooksOnline stepped in, cleaned up her books, set up QuickBooks automation, and delivered monthly financials segmented by location. With clean reports and payroll reconciliations, she now makes faster decisions and has eliminated tax-season stress.
State Tax Reference: Know What’s Taxable-and What’s Not
Dental procedures are typically tax-exempt, but cosmetic services and product sales can be taxable depending on your state. For example, in Texas, whitening kits sold over-the-counter are taxable. In New York, elective cosmetic dentistry may be taxed if not medically necessary. We ensure all income streams are categorized and reported correctly by state law.
