Strategic Tax & Accounting for Canadian Pharmacies
From managing complex dispensary inventory to structuring your Professional Corporation, Teixeira Accounting provides elite financial advisory for independent pharmacies and franchise owners.
Your Pharmacy is a High-Volume, High-Complexity Business.
Running a pharmacy is unique. You are simultaneously managing a highly regulated healthcare practice and a high-volume retail business. Between tracking front-store margins, managing dispensary inventory, navigating third-party insurance reconciliations, and structuring relief pharmacist contracts, standard accounting isn't enough.
At Teixeira Accounting, we understand the specific financial mechanics of a pharmacy. We help you optimize your cost of goods sold (COGS), structure your professional corporation for maximum tax deferral, and ensure your practice is perfectly positioned for long-term growth or a lucrative exit.
Corporate Structuring
Maximize tax deferral and protect your clinical assets.
Pharmacist Professional Corporations
Incorporating your practice allows you to access the Small Business Deduction (SBD), significantly lowering your corporate tax rate on active business income. This creates a massive opportunity for tax deferral, allowing you to reinvest surplus cash into expanding your pharmacy or building a passive investment portfolio.
However, structuring a Pharmacist Professional Corporation requires precise coordination with provincial regulatory colleges to ensure compliance regarding share ownership and directorships.
