Hi, I’m Hugo Scales, Finance and Payments Manager at Prescript. I thought I’d share with you a bit about my role and the impact it has on helping the regional doctor shortage in Australia.

Prescript will celebrate four years in April, so we are a relatively new company, but one that has seen significant growth in that time. This growth includes members of the Prescript team of course, and I am a beneficiary of that, I joined the team in September 2017 to assist with finance and payments. 

What is a Finance and Payments Manager in the big picture at Prescript Recruitment?

At Prescript, we provide a bespoke time-sheet, invoicing, finance and payroll service to our Doctors. This is just a part of what we offer. What sets us apart from many of the larger recruitment agencies is our personal touch to keep those we look after happy. This high level of service is reflected in all of our financial processes, as well as throughout everything we do at Prescript.

I provide our clients and Doctors with administrative support for billing and invoicing. I also sometimes assist the Doctor if they require support in establishing themselves as Pty Ltd companies in order to invoice the hospitals for their services - which I facilitate for them.

Other hospitals and clinics might pay Doctors directly but may require that their reimbursements are invoiced separately, or that at Prescript, we arrange payments via our payroll service. So, there are various processes that keep me on my toes and give the position variety.

But honestly the best variety for me comes from relationships, varied but always interesting relationships that I establish with hospital personnel and our many and varied Doctors, Junior Doctors and Consultants that I communicate with daily. All in the expectation of making their workload more manageable and therefore enjoyable.

It's a great feeling knowing that the part I play can make a big difference to doctors, hospitals and practices across the country. I look forward to watching Prescript grow in the medical recruitment industry and expanding to further cities and countries.
