For use with NexHealth Payments

Overview

  • Categorize bank deposits from NexHealth directly into your Income account.

Cash-Basis Bookkeeping (Simplified Method)

If you use cash-basis accounting, the simplest workflow is:

Categorize bank deposits from NexHealth directly into your Income account.

NexHealth Payments deposits are net payouts, meaning processing fees have already been deducted before the money hits your bank account. So when you categorize the deposit in your bookkeeping system, you're capturing the true amount received—no need to manually split out or account for fees separately. What you see in your bank account is the final amount you keep.

Accrual-Basis Bookkeeping (Detailed Method)

For accrual accounting or when tracking gross revenue and fees.

1. Go to your Transaction history.

Within Payments, find the Transaction history tab.

Select Reports

Select your desired date range and download the Transactions (CSV) file

Each row represents a single transaction

  • Columns include:

    • Gross Amount

    • Fees

    • Net Amount

    • Transaction Date

    • Payout Date

3. Reconcile your books.

  • Group transactions by Payout Date

  • The sum of Net Amounts for a single payout date will match the bank deposit you receive 1–2 business days later

  • If you want to separate Income from Fees in your bookkeeping software, you can modify the NexHealth net deposit. First, credit a revenue amount for the sum of Gross Amounts in that payout, and then debit a COGS account for the sum of Fees in that payout.

  • If you want your books to reflect revenue on the original transaction dates (rather than the deposit date), you can either adjust the deposit date to match the underlying transaction dates, or create a journal entry to accrue the revenue to the correct period.
