Healthcare Staffing Agency Chart of Accounts and VMS Reverse Billing Kit

Your VMS reverse invoice variance is the first sign a process broke. If your books cannot show it, it becomes one of the biggest profit leaks in your agency.

This kit gives you the exact chart of accounts and reverse billing workflow we use with healthcare staffing agencies. It is built for agencies that bill through a VMS or MSP and want to see every variance, work every dispute inside the window, and know their true gross margin by service line.

Start with the model you run today, travel, per diem, or perm, and add the others later without rebuilding your books.

What's included

• The Guide (PDF, 12 pages). The full chart of accounts structure, the reverse invoice workflow with every entry spelled out, short pay handling, what to collect on every assignment, month end steps, reason codes, and KPIs.
• Chart of Accounts Workbook (Excel). 57 accounts with number, type, model, and purpose, organized so you can open only what you need today.
• Zoho Books and QuickBooks Online Import Files (CSV). Upload ready, so your chart is set up in minutes.
• VMS Dispute Log (Excel). Calculates every dispute deadline from your VMS windows, flags anything due within days, and totals recovery by reason, service line, and MSP.
• Assignment Setup Checklist (fillable PDF). Completed for every assignment so rate cards, OT rules, and worker IDs match in payroll and the VMS before the first shift.

Who it's for

• Traveler turned agency owners running their own back office
• Small and growing agencies billing through one or more VMS or MSP programs
• Bookkeepers and accountants who support healthcare staffing agencies

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with Zoho Books and QuickBooks? Yes. Import files are included for both. The workbook also lists every account so you can set it up in any accounting system by hand.

Do I need to run travel, per diem, and perm? No. Import the shared accounts plus the model you run today. The numbering leaves room to add the others later.

Is this accounting or tax advice? No. It is an operating framework built from real agency experience. Have your CPA review the final setup, especially stipend treatment and the perm guarantee reserve.
