Accountants for Physiotherapists in Tadley

They handle the accounting and tax work that sits behind a physiotherapy practice, which usually includes bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax and payroll, plus tax planning and VAT support where it is relevant. In practice that means recording treatment income correctly, capturing clinic and equipment costs, keeping professional subscriptions and insurance payments documented and making sure filing deadlines are met. The exact mix depends on how you are structured and how your income arrives, so it is never a standard package applied to everyone.

Support is available to self-employed physiotherapists, private practitioners, locums, sole traders, partnerships and limited company clinic owners, as well as rehabilitation practices and other physiotherapy businesses such as sports injury or MSK clinics. Each of these has a different financial shape. A sole trader generally needs straightforward records and a Self Assessment return, a partnership needs profit allocation and partner reporting, while a limited company needs statutory accounts, Corporation Tax returns and often payroll for directors and staff.

Yes. Self-employed physiotherapists and sole traders make up a significant part of the work, and the focus is usually on keeping treatment income and expenses organised through the year so the Self Assessment return is accurate and submitted on time. We also look at payments on account, allowable business costs, and how digital record-keeping requirements may affect you depending on your turnover and circumstances.

Yes. Bookkeeping for a physiotherapist involves more than logging appointments, since income may come from private patients, insurers, sports clubs, block bookings or teaching, and expenses can include room hire, equipment, consumables, indemnity insurance, professional subscriptions and travel between sites. We can maintain those records on a regular basis or review what you keep yourself, then prepare and file your Self Assessment return. If you are a director of a limited company, your personal return is handled alongside the company accounts rather than in isolation.

Common examples include treatment tables and rehabilitation equipment, consumables, clinical software, professional body and registration fees, professional indemnity insurance, training and CPD, room hire or premises costs, uniforms, marketing and travel between clinics. Whether a particular cost is allowable, and how much of it can be claimed, depends on the nature of the expense and how it is used in your business, so mixed personal and business costs should be discussed rather than assumed. Good records through the year make that judgement far easier.

Yes. If you run your physiotherapy practice through a limited company, we can prepare statutory annual accounts and the Corporation Tax return, along with the supporting computations and any filing obligations that follow. We also look at how you take money out of the company, whether through salary, dividends or a combination, and how that interacts with your personal tax position. The right approach depends on your profits, your other income and your plans for the business.

It depends. Some healthcare and physiotherapy services can fall within the exemption rules, but that is not automatic, and the treatment of a service depends on its nature, who provides it and the conditions that apply. Other income, such as retail sales of supports or equipment, certain reports or non-exempt services, may be treated differently. If your turnover approaches or exceeds the registration threshold, or you work with a mix of exempt and taxable supplies, it is worth reviewing your position rather than assuming one rule covers everything.

Yes, and switching is usually more straightforward than people expect. We can handle the handover, including requesting the information needed from your previous accountant, and time the change so it aligns sensibly with your accounting year end. It helps to have recent records, bank statements and details of any outstanding filings to hand, but if something is missing we will work through it with you. To get started, simply get in touch and tell us how your practice currently operates.
