Accountants for Aesthetic Clinics in Bromley

They handle the accounting, tax and compliance work that sits behind an aesthetic business, and explain it in terms that make sense. In practice that usually means keeping treatment income, product sales, deposits and expenses properly recorded, preparing Self Assessment or company accounts and tax returns, handling payroll and checking whether VAT applies to what you do. They also help with the day-to-day questions — whether a piece of equipment can be claimed, how to treat a package that has been paid for in advance, or whether moving to a limited company would suit you better. Because income and costs in aesthetics follow quite specific patterns, having an accountant who recognises them makes the whole process far easier.

Support is available to a wide range of people and businesses across the aesthetics sector, including aesthetic clinic owners, independent aesthetic practitioners, self-employed injectors, skin clinic owners, cosmetic treatment businesses operating from their own premises, and practitioners who rent rooms or chairs. Sole traders, partnerships and limited companies can all be supported, and the work involved will vary depending on which of those applies. Some businesses also sell skincare products or run training courses alongside treatments, which adds another layer to how income and costs are recorded. What matters most is understanding how you earn and what you spend, because that determines which services are actually relevant to you.

Yes. Self-employed practitioners and injectors make up a large part of the aesthetics sector, and their accounting needs tend to be fairly focused. The main work usually centres on Self Assessment, keeping clear records of treatment income from each clinic or location, tracking consumables, insurance, registration and equipment costs, and making sure the right expenses are claimed. If you work across several clinics or rent rooms on different days, we can help put a simple system in place so nothing gets missed without it becoming a chore. If you later decide to incorporate, we can talk through what that change would mean before you go ahead.

It depends on how the business is set up and how it operates. A clinic with employees and premises is likely to need bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns where applicable, annual accounts and Corporation Tax, plus management information to keep an eye on margins and overheads. A self-employed injector may only need bookkeeping and Self Assessment. Many aesthetic businesses also want support with tax planning around equipment purchases, treatment room fit-outs, stock and expansion, and help deciding whether their current structure still suits them. We only suggest what genuinely applies to your circumstances rather than a fixed package.

Yes — these are the core areas most aesthetic businesses need, though not every business needs all of them. Bookkeeping keeps treatment income, product sales, consumables, equipment, staff costs and other expenses recorded throughout the year, which makes everything else much simpler. Self Assessment covers sole traders and partners, while limited companies need annual accounts, a Corporation Tax computation and a company tax return. Where you have more than one source of income, or you are a director taking a salary and dividends, we look at how those interact so the overall position is sensible rather than treated as separate boxes.

Costs incurred wholly and exclusively for the business are generally allowable, and in aesthetics that covers a fairly wide range — consumables such as fillers, needles, skincare stock and PPE, plus insurance, professional registration, training, marketing, software, room hire and equipment. Equipment is often treated differently from everyday consumables, and larger purchases may qualify for capital allowances rather than being deducted in full in one go. Keeping clear records with receipts and a consistent expense process makes this much easier at year end, and it helps you avoid claiming something that turns out not to be allowable.

VAT depends on your turnover and, importantly, on the nature and purpose of the services you provide. Some treatments may be exempt where they meet the conditions for medical care, while others — including many cosmetic and aesthetic procedures — are generally standard-rated, and the position can differ from one treatment to another within the same clinic. Product sales and training are usually treated differently again. Because this area is detailed and fact-specific, it is worth reviewing your individual services rather than assuming everything falls into the same category. We can look at what you offer and explain how it is likely to be treated, along with your registration and reporting obligations.

The first step is a conversation about your business — how you are structured, how you earn your income, what your costs look like and what you already have in place. From there we can set out which services you actually need, whether that is bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, payroll, VAT support or a combination of them. If you are switching from another accountant, we can talk you through what the handover involves so you know what to expect. Once everything is set up, support continues throughout the year rather than only appearing when a deadline is close.
