How Bunbury businesses work with us
Practitioner payments recorded
Where a practice pays practitioners from its takings, each payment is entered against the practitioner's invoice or statement and matched to the bank, so the amounts paid out are clear.
Patient payments matched
Payments from patients, by card or transfer, are matched to the deposits they arrive in, so the takings in your file agree with the bank.
Supplier bills kept current
Bills for consumables, equipment and rent are entered as they come in, then marked paid when the money leaves your account.
Trades looked after too
Construction is the biggest group in the chart, and building businesses get the same monthly reconciliation, with materials bills checked against what was paid.
