west Oʻahu practices sit in the orbit of The Queen's Medical Center - West Oʻahu and Hawaii Pacific Health — and run on insurance-billing reconciliation, clinical-staff payroll, HIPAA-aware document handling, and Hawaii's General Excise Tax (GET) — the ~4% (4.5% on Oʻahu with the county surcharge) gross-receipts tax that applies to nearly all business income, not just retail sales on the services they bill. From a single family-medicine office to multi-location dental and PT groups across Ko Olina, Kalaeloa, Ewa Beach, Makakilo, and Kapolei Commons, Tides keeps your Kapolei books clean every month.

Kapolei is a healthcare anchor for west Oʻahu — with a deep ecosystem of private practices, specialty clinics, and multi-location groups. And unlike the mainland, Hawaii applies Hawaii's General Excise Tax (GET) — the ~4% (4.5% on Oʻahu with the county surcharge) gross-receipts tax that applies to nearly all business income, not just retail sales to medical services, so the books carry a wrinkle a generalist misses. Here's how monthly bookkeeping fits the practices serving the the City & County of Honolulu healthcare economy.
The Queen's Medical Center - West Oʻahu and Hawaii Pacific Health anchor the region's healthcare infrastructure. Orbiting those systems is a wide base of independent practices — family medicine, dentistry, optometry, dermatology, audiology, physical therapy, and veterinary clinics — whose financials live and die by insurance-billing reconciliation against a dozen payers, from HMSA and Kaiser to Medicare and Med-QUEST. Getting insurance reimbursements matched to deposits, and GET handled correctly on the taxable portion of services, is where most practices need help.
Closer to Ko Olina, specialty practices fill the corridor — dental aesthetics, dermatology, physical and occupational therapy, mental-health and counseling groups, and concierge and cash-pay medicine. These practices mix insurance and private-pay revenue, juggle clinical-staff payroll across hygienists, techs, and licensed providers, and need HIPAA-aware document handling for every vendor invoice and equipment lease that passes through the books — all while keeping the General Excise Tax accrual accurate on the cash-pay side.
Across Ko Olina, Kalaeloa, Ewa Beach, Makakilo, and Kapolei Commons, the picture shifts to multi-location family-medicine groups, island dental and vet practices, and growing mental-health networks. Tides handles your insurance reconciliation, multi-location books, clinical-staff payroll, GET tracking, and vendor management every month — entirely remote, with a secure portal for sensitive documents.

Whether you're running a medical office, dental practice, or private therapy practice — we have the bookkeeping structure that fits your business.
General practitioners, specialists, urgent care clinics — complex reimbursement cycles and multi-provider payroll demand a bookkeeper who understands healthcare revenue.
Fee-for-service and insurance billing, lab fees, and high-value equipment depreciation — dental practice finances have unique demands.
Therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and coaches — often solo or small group practices with a mix of insurance and private-pay clients.
Healthcare practices face financial challenges that general bookkeepers routinely miss. Here's what we hear from nearly every new client.
Payments come from a dozen different payers on different schedules. Reconciling what you billed vs. what you received vs. what's still outstanding is a full-time job on its own.
Healthcare financials face more scrutiny than almost any other industry. Sloppy books aren't just inefficient — they're a liability. We keep your records audit-ready at all times.
Provider compensation models, hygienist splits, front office staff — healthcare payroll involves multiple structures and pay types that general bookkeepers often mishandle.
Between collections, write-offs, and overhead, it's hard to know what your practice is actually netting. Without clean monthly financials, you're making decisions without data.
Every Tides plan includes all seven core services. Healthcare clients get specific treatment for insurance reconciliation, multi-source revenue, and compliance-ready recordkeeping.
Every account reconciled, every transaction categorized, every month — without exception. You receive a clean P&L and balance sheet you can actually understand and use to make decisions about your practice.
Monthly reports that show your revenue by payer, expenses by category, and practice profitability — so you can make smart decisions about growth.
Every business account and credit card matched and verified each month. No mystery charges. No unresolved transactions. No surprises.
We track vendor bills, supplier payments, and outstanding patient balances so your cash flow stays healthy and nothing gets missed.
Months or years behind? We clean it all up before we start your regular monthly service — no matter how far back the backlog goes.
If you have providers or staff, we coordinate payroll processing and keep your payroll tax filings clean and on schedule.
