Worth every penny.

The team is so very responsive. I never feel like I am asking dumb questions which was especially helpful as I am new to private practice money management. It was the easiest bookkeeping and also tax filing experience of my life, even with multiple income streams. The ease of tax estimations and filing components makes this totally worth the price and the bookkeeping is a great added bonus. I love being able to see my expenses and income so easily to track how I am doing.

Frees up my time to focus on actually running my business

Heard takes care of everything so I don't have to. As a brand new business owner, I didn't know anything about bookkeeping or quarterly taxes, but they make it less overwhelming and walk you through it. Highly recommend.

Kelly B.
Without a doubt I recommend Heard!

I am really thankful to have a service like Heard. When I started my private practice I thought "I have a PhD, I could do all my own accounting." After a few months I realized I was NOT an accountant or bookkeeper. I found Heard and my life is so much better. I like that Heard focuses on accounting for therapists in private practice. They know more about the typical expenses that can be deducted. I love the reminders I receive for monthly reviews, tax estimates and so much more. And the most important is that their communication with me is phenomenal. Every time I leave a message in the portal it is answered very quickly. The bookkeeper has been very patient with me. I highly recommend using Heard. It saves me time so I can focus on providing the best standard of care for my patients.

FAQ

Bookkeeping gives you a clear picture of your practice finances, where your money is coming from, and where it's going. When your bookkeeping is up-to-date, you will be able to understand areas to save and areas to invest more, seasonal fluctuations in your practice, and have an overall clear picture on how much you can pay yourself and your team.

Having accurate finances saves you hours during tax season as well. When your books are reconciled and up-to-date, you avoid scrambling to get caught up prior to the tax deadline, or miss out on any tax write-offs or deductions. Most importantly, you will avoid subjecting yourself to any potential errors or late fees.
We work exclusively with mental health therapy practices, including: psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, mental health counselors, professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners. We are able to support therapists who have other streams of income (e.g. coaching, consulting).

We do not work with non-mental health practices, practices based outside the US, practices with multiple owners, group practices with more than 20 therapists, and practices taxed as C corporations.
We can discuss what makes the most sense for you and your practice. Just like in the mental health profession, clients sometimes switch professionals in the accounting world for various practical reasons.

If you're looking to completely transition both your bookkeeping and your taxes to Heard, we will ask for access to any bookkeeping software you're currently using to help us transition. If you're only looking to use our bookkeeping services and want to keep your tax professional, we will ask for an introduction to your tax professional.
Personal federal and state income tax filings are included for sole proprietors. We do not charge extra if you see clients in multiple states. For S-Corporations, your business returns are included and you can add on personal filing for $450.

Yes, you can cancel at any time. With that said, all one-time fees and annual subscription fees are non-refundable. Read our full terms of service.
QuickBooks is a good DIY software choice for therapists who are looking to do their own bookkeeping. To upgrade to their full-service bookkeeping option, however, you can expect to pay $300/mo or more.

In addition to cost, the other difference is that Heard is built specifically for therapists, whereas Quickbooks is industry-agnostic. Specializing in therapy practices means we understand your business.
A local CPA is a good option for therapists who are looking for a more personalized experience with regular meetings to review their financials. With that said, you can expect to pay $500/mo or more working with a local CPA.
