Blackmor, CPA works with the executive teams of hospice and home health agencies as a remote accounting department. Our average client saves 0.5% of Revenue on their finance labor compared to the industry and is more than twice as profitable from hospice operations. We make sense of the numbers and bring clarity and consistency to the month-end and year-end closing process. Armed with our timeliness and insight, hospice and home health agencies have the tools and the clarity they need to lead and communicate financial performance both to the board and internally to their leadership team.
We help home health and hospice CEOs gain confidence in their accounting team, system, and financial statements. While many accounting departments do a fair job of presenting data, we make sure our financial reports and commentary turn raw data into valuable information. That’s the Blackmor CPA difference.
We call our outsourced financial reporting and month-end closing package our “GPS” service. Why? Because we’re a clear, turn-by-turn road map for how a finance department should run. We standardize the accounting steps from start to finish to deliver your financial statements accurately and on time. Every time. We’ll also make sure your systems are properly aligned to maximize what you’re getting with what you already have—EMR/patient management system, payroll system, donor software, etc.
What Your Outsourced Blackmor Accounting Department Includes
We can help you put your financial reporting process on autopilot and take one more concern off your plate. Our services begin with the month-end accounting processes (after your staff have posted billing and payroll) all the way through to the financial statement preparation and delivery.
CYMA Accounting Software
Our services run on the backbone of a robust but streamlined accounting system called CYMA. CYMA makes entering journal entries a thing of the past, freeing up valuable time and ensuring accuracy down to the detailed journal entry level.
Monthly Accounting Closing Process
Our month-end procedures include all the typical accounting processes such as:
- Posting payroll, including accrued payroll and PTO/Vacation
- Posting and reconciling all bank transactions
- Posting and reconciling all revenue, adjustments and Accounts Receivable
- Posting all patient days, visits, and visit hours in the accounting system using statistical or ‘memo accounts’
- Posting all monthly investment activity
- Tracking and reconciling prepaid expenses
- Tracking and reconciling fixed assets and depreciation
- Tracking and reconciling any other payables or loans
Financial Statement Preparation
Once we are finished with the monthly accounting duties, on or around mid-month, we prepare the financial statements. We use the Multi-View (MVI) format and chart of accounts to prepare the financial statements in Excel using a tool called F9, and we also prepare and maintain the MVI Management Application. Due to our efficiencies, we meet all client deadlines after the initial 90-day on-boarding window.
Financial Reporting
We provide a higher level of service and deeper analysis than anyone else in our field, and we pair our service with the MVI Benchmarking service, because you can’t gain perspective in a vacuum. Then, we translate that data into information, presenting a succinct snapshot of your performance in ‘plain English’ terms instead of technical jargon. Our aim here is to educate, not obfuscate.
Why Blackmor CPA

- Information – You will always know the financial picture of their organization

- Standardization – Your reports will be in standard format
- Timeliness – Your reports will be on time
