We Know Pharmacies
Running a business is tough. Owning, managing and optimizing a pharmacy is a whole new ball game.
We provide pharmacy accounting services and consulting but we also own pharmacies, so our financials include DIR fees, rebates and revenue lines for each payer. We also know that financials only show you half the picture, therefore IRx also consolidates pharmacy operational data from your pharmacy system and payroll system detailed data into a digital dashboard allowing you to make better decisions and ultimately grow your business.
Pharmacy Accounting | Taxes | Payroll | Human Resources
The business of pharmacy is unique. We don’t have the luxury of setting our own pricing but instead are controlled by contracts and PBMs. Plans are filled with fees, some of which may reduce payments made on scripts months after the scripts are filled. Purchasing is challenging as wholesalers use tiers and rebate structures which often seem to be in place to create complexity and confusion. Payroll is the largest expense after drug costs, but what is the proper payroll level for my type of store and my volumes? As owners, we need trusted information and advice to keep our stores healthy and profitable.
Financial Package
Monthly Financials delivered timely and importantly, in a pharmacy specific format. Revenue is broken down on the P&L by PSAO, Caremark, Humana, DIR Fees, Cash etc. Cost of Goods Sold shows you primary purchases, secondary purchases, returns and rebates. Payroll is specific to your store by type – pharmacist, technician, delivery, admin and expenses show pharmacy specific expenses vs. general expenses like rent, utilities etc. IRx Accounting Services has specifically designed the structure and content for the pharmacy industry so you as the owner can clearly understand your financial performance.
Additionally, via your personal data dashboard, we also provide notable highlights and insights each month to explain significant financial changes in your business.
IRx Accounting prides itself on the timely and accurate delivery of your financials – every month. We often hear from pharmacists who are frustrated due to the very late or almost non existent financial reporting they receive. IRx Accounting promises monthly delivery so you can make timely decisions.
Tax Services
We provide a full array of tax services from Tax Strategy & Planning to Tax Preparation & Filing.
Our staff includes CPAs specializing in small business tax. We formulate a tax strategy throughout the year based on your individual situation. This allows us to create and provide you business tax returns quickly and accurately.

Having accurate, timely and well-formatted data is important, but to make it useful you need to understand how to put the information to work. Our team has decades of experience in owning and operating pharmacies.

We want to see strong, healthy independent pharmacies that are continuing to make a great impact in our communities, and we would like to partner with you to give you the resources you need.
