How we can help you

Multiple Income Sources & Complex Billing

Most ENT specialists earn income from multiple sources including private consulting, surgical procedures, public hospital appointments, medico-legal work, teaching, and on-call arrangements. Managing these diverse revenue streams can create significant tax, GST, and reporting complexities.

The Santoro Grieco Solution: We create streamlined financial systems that accurately track each income source, improve reporting visibility, and ensure your tax obligations are managed efficiently throughout the year.

Private Practice Structures & Asset Protection

As your income grows, operating as a sole trader may expose you to unnecessary tax and asset protection risks. Determining when to introduce companies, trusts, or service entities can be complex.

The Santoro Grieco Solution: We design tailored structures that support long-term wealth creation, reduce tax leakage where appropriate, and provide greater protection of your personal assets.

Private Hospital Agreements & Contractor Compliance

The Challenge: ENT specialists frequently work across multiple private hospitals and medical centres. Poorly structured agreements can create compliance risks and uncertainty around tax obligations.

The Santoro Grieco Solution: We review your service arrangements and operating structure to ensure they remain compliant while supporting your commercial and financial objectives.
