Audit and Tax Services for Service-Oriented Businesses
Hospitals, hospitality, professional practices, and other service businesses — audited, advised, and kept compliant by a team that understands service operations.
What the work involves
A service business has little inventory to count. Its figures rest on revenue that is earned as the service is performed, on receivables, and on the cost of the people who deliver the service. The audit follows those three.
The particulars differ by line of business. A hospital carries claims receivable from PhilHealth and health maintenance organisations and pays professional fees to doctors. A hotel or restaurant collects service charges for its employees. A professional partnership is taxed through its partners.
What needs attention
- Revenue. Services rendered but not yet billed, advance payments, packages and discounts.
- Receivables. Claims from PhilHealth, insurers and corporate accounts, denials and the allowance against them.
- Professional fees. Withholding tax on fees paid to doctors, consultants and other professionals.
- Service charges. Collection and distribution to covered employees as the law requires of hotels, restaurants and similar establishments.
- Partnerships. For general professional partnerships, the distributive shares of the partners and the returns that report them.
Related services
- Bookkeeping and monthly reporting.
- Payroll processing and compliance, including the service charge distribution.
- Tax compliance and BIR audit assistance.
- Internal control reviews of billing, collection and purchasing.
Frequently asked questions
How is a general professional partnership taxed?
The partnership itself is not subject to income tax. Each partner reports and pays tax on a distributive share of the partnership’s net income.
What should a hospital prepare for its audit?
Schedules of patient and PhilHealth receivables with ageing, professional fee payables, inventory of medicines and supplies, and the fixed asset register, with the usual ledgers and bank reconciliations.
