About Wellness Fi

Who We are

We’re a team of bookkeepers, tax advisors, and a CPA who work only with mental health practices. Since 2019, we’ve worked with about 300 private practices across the U.S., from solo counselors in their first year to group practices with several clinicians.

Most accountants treat a therapy practice like any other small business. We don’t. We already know what an insurance deposit from your EHR looks like, how supervision fees and CEUs are handled, and when an S-corp starts to make sense for a clinician. You don’t have to explain your business to us before we can help.

We’re based in Austin, Texas, and work with practices in every state.

How we work with you

Your bookkeeper. Keeps your books current every month and sends you a clear report of what came in, what went out, and what to set aside for taxes.

Your tax advisor. Your main point of contact. Answers your tax questions, plans ahead with you, and prepares your returns if we file for you. Our advisors include a CPA and IRS Enrolled Agents.

The team behind them. Your advisor works with co-advisors and administrative specialists, so someone who can see your file is there when your advisor is away.

Who we work with

We’re typically a good fit for:

Licensed therapists (mental, physical, speech, occupational, massage), counselors, psychologists, social workers, nutritionists and others in private practice
Solo practices that are ready to hand off the books
Group practices with associates, payroll, and more than one location
Practice owners thinking about an S-corp

You’re not yet seeing clients, or your practice nets under about $50,000 a year. You may not need us yet, and we’ll tell you so.
You prefer to have a software that you handle yourself & do the bookkeeping & accounting yourself.

Operations

Mark has helped more than 100 business owners grow revenue, lower expenses, and run their businesses more smoothly. He’s also seen the value of counseling firsthand: on their wedding day, he and his wife agreed to go to counseling at least once a year, and it’s been one of the healthiest decisions they’ve made.

Eddie Valls
