• Accounts Receivable & Payable: Management of income from patients and expenses, such as medical supplies or office rent, is another crucial service that bookkeepers provide.
• Tax preparation: A bookkeeper who understands the specific tax obligations and potential deductions for pediatricians can be of great assistance in preparing and filing taxes.
• Financial reporting: Regular financial reports will allow pediatricians to understand their financial health, track changes, and make informed decisions for their practice.

In conclusion, a bookkeeper experienced in servicing healthcare industry can dramatically simplify the financial management for a pediatrician's practice, allowing them to focus more on patient care.
