Chiropractors are incredible at adjusting spines—but bookkeeping? That’s a different story. Many chiropractic offices unknowingly lose money due to small but costly accounting mistakes. Let’s break down the top three:

1. Misclassifying Expenses

Buying a new massage table? Hiring a contractor for digital marketing? If you’re putting these under the wrong category, you could be missing valuable tax deductions—or even triggering IRS red flags.

2. Neglecting Reconciliation

When’s the last time your accounts were reconciled? If you’re only checking your business bank balance, you’re at risk of double payments, bounced checks, and inaccurate financials.



3. Mixing Personal and Business Transactions

Using one account for both? This makes clean bookkeeping nearly impossible. It complicates taxes and leaves your business vulnerable in an audit.
