Greensboro, NC, and the greater Triad region are home to some of the nation’s leading healthcare institutions, including Cone Health, Novant Health, and Wake Forest Baptist Health. While these hospitals focus on saving lives, many of their dedicated professionals—nurses, physicians, administrators, and yes, those traveling healthcare heroes—are searching for ways to keep their finances healthy too.
Let’s face it: the medical profession isn’t just demanding—it’s all-encompassing. Between 12-hour shifts, endless charting, and chasing the occasional runaway patient in scrubs, who has time to strategize wealth growth and tax savings? That’s where we come in. At J. Scott & Associates, Inc., we’ve helped healthcare professionals across the Triad turn their financial checkups into glowing reports.
Why Financial Health Matters for Medical Professionals
Whether you’re a local physician at Cone Health, a nurse practitioner with Novant Health, or a traveling therapist working locum tenens at Wake Forest Baptist Health, your career offers unique financial opportunities—and challenges.
- High Earnings, Higher Tax Liabilities: Healthcare professionals often earn high incomes but find themselves paying top dollar in taxes.
- Unpredictable Expenses: From continuing education requirements to potential relocations, the financial demands can pile up faster than patient intake during flu season.
- Future Planning Needs: From retirement accounts to estate planning, today’s professionals must think beyond their next paycheck.
We get it—your focus is on patients. But with a little help, you can ensure your finances are in excellent shape too.
Helping Greensboro’s Healthcare Heroes Thrive
1. Tax Strategies That Save Big
Working in the medical field often means juggling multiple streams of income—bonuses, overtime, stipends, and for travelers, per diems. That’s where tax strategy comes into play.
- Local Example: A travel nurse stationed at Cone Health’s Wesley Long Hospital was overwhelmed by the tax implications of her out-of-state assignments. By working with J. Scott & Associates, Inc., she streamlined her tax filings, maximized her per diem allowances, and saved over $12,000 in one year.
- Traveling Professionals: Did you know your housing stipends and meal allowances could be tax-free if you meet certain criteria? We’ll make sure Uncle Sam doesn’t get a cut of what you’re legally allowed to keep.
2. Financial Planning for Every Stage of Your Career
From residency to retirement, every healthcare professional’s financial journey is unique.
- Mid-Career Physicians: A Novant Health surgeon consulted us to consolidate multiple retirement accounts and reduce tax exposure through a defined benefit plan. The result? A six-figure savings boost over the next decade.
- Travel Therapists: For locum tenens professionals working at Wake Forest Baptist Health, we create plans that maximize savings while accommodating the flexible nature of their work.
3. Protecting Your Income (and Sanity)
As a healthcare provider, your ability to earn is your greatest asset. Protecting it is non-negotiable.
- Disability Insurance: A Greensboro anesthesiologist ensured her income with a customized disability insurance policy through our guidance, protecting her family in case of unexpected medical leave.
- Health Savings Accounts (HSAs): For medical professionals with high-deductible plans, HSAs are a triple tax advantage. We worked with a nurse at Novant Health to maximize her contributions, saving her family thousands annually.
For Travel Medical Professionals: Tax Strategies on the Go
Ah, the life of a travel nurse or locum tenens provider—adventurous, lucrative, and…complicated come tax season.
- Mileage and Housing Deductions: We helped a travel physical therapist working in Greensboro deduct her cross-country travel expenses, significantly reducing her tax bill.
- Multi-State Tax Filing: We handle the headache of filing taxes in multiple states, ensuring you don’t overpay while staying compliant.
