Accountants for Aesthetic Clinics in Melbourne Derby

Accountants for Aesthetic Clinics look after the day-to-day accounting and tax requirements of aesthetic practitioners, injectors, skin clinics and cosmetic treatment businesses. In practice that usually means keeping treatment income and business expenses properly recorded, preparing annual accounts, dealing with Self Assessment or Corporation Tax, running payroll where staff are employed, and advising on VAT and business structure where relevant. The focus is on making sure your records are accurate, your deadlines are met and you have a clear view of how the clinic or practice is performing.

Support is available to a broad range of aesthetic professionals and businesses, including aesthetic clinic owners, independent aesthetic practitioners, self-employed injectors, skin clinic owners, cosmetic treatment businesses, partnerships and limited companies. The work involved is not the same for everyone — a sole trader injector with simple treatment income has very different requirements from a limited company clinic employing several therapists and renting premises. We look at how you operate and how your income is earned before deciding which services are appropriate.

Yes. Self-employed aesthetic practitioners and independent injectors are a core part of who we support. Typically this involves keeping records of treatment income across different payment methods and booking platforms, tracking allowable expenses such as products, consumables, insurance, training and equipment, and preparing an accurate Self Assessment return each year with the correct tax and National Insurance calculated. If your circumstances change — for example, if you take on a business partner or decide to incorporate — we can help you review whether your current structure is still the right fit.

It depends on how the clinic is structured and how it operates. Common services include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Corporation Tax or Self Assessment, payroll, VAT support where it applies, management accounts and tax planning. A clinic with employed staff, retail products and multiple treatment rooms will generally need more than an individual practitioner working on their own. We recommend a package based on your actual circumstances rather than assuming every aesthetic business needs the same level of support.

Expenses are reviewed in the context of your treatments and how the business is run. Typical costs include treatment products and consumables, skincare stock, equipment and maintenance, clinic rent and utilities, insurance, professional memberships, training and marketing, along with staff wages or payments to self-employed contractors. The treatment of each cost depends on the nature of the expense and how it is used in the business, so we look at them individually rather than applying a blanket rule. Good record keeping throughout the year makes this much easier at the point of preparing accounts or a tax return.

They may do, but it is not automatic either way. Some aesthetic services can be treated differently from others depending on the nature and purpose of the treatment and the wider circumstances of the business, and the position is not always straightforward. What matters is your turnover, the mix of services you provide, whether you sell retail products, and how those treatments are classified. Because this area depends on individual circumstances, it is worth reviewing your position properly rather than assuming all treatments are exempt or all are standard rated.

Yes. If your clinic employs therapists, reception staff, nurses or other team members, we can handle payroll, including payslips, PAYE and pension administration where required. We also help with payments to self-employed contractors such as associate practitioners or guest injectors, including checking that their status is appropriate and that the payments are recorded correctly. Getting this right matters, as the tax treatment of employees and contractors is different.

Yes, switching is usually more straightforward than people expect. We can liaise with your existing accountant to obtain the information needed, including accounts, tax returns and records, and make sure the transition happens without gaps in your compliance or missed deadlines. It helps to have a rough idea of your current year position and any upcoming filing dates when you get in touch, but we can guide you through the rest.
