Accountants for Aesthetic Clinics in Storrington

Accountants for Aesthetic Clinics handle the financial and tax side of running an aesthetic business. In practice, that usually means keeping your bookkeeping up to date, preparing annual accounts, completing Self Assessment tax returns or Corporation Tax returns depending on your structure, running payroll if you employ staff, and helping with VAT where it applies. It also involves advising on how treatment income, consumables, equipment, clinic costs and contractor payments should be recorded, so your accounts reflect what your business is genuinely doing.

We support a wide range of people and businesses in the aesthetic sector, including aesthetic clinic owners, independent aesthetic practitioners, self-employed injectors, skin and laser clinic owners, cosmetic treatment businesses, and practitioners operating as sole traders, partnerships or limited companies. Because accounting needs differ depending on how you are structured and how you earn income, the support is tailored to your circumstances rather than applied in the same way to everyone.

Yes. Self-employed aesthetic practitioners and independent injectors are a common part of the work we do. As a sole trader, you will typically need to report your treatment income and allowable business expenses through Self Assessment, and good record keeping throughout the year makes that far simpler. We can help with bookkeeping, expense categorisation, tax calculations and filing deadlines, as well as advising on whether your current structure still suits how your business is developing.

It depends on the clinic. Some businesses need help with bookkeeping and Self Assessment only, while others need annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll, management accounts, VAT support and tax planning. Aesthetic clinics with staff, multiple practitioners or premises often need support across several of these areas. We look at your structure, turnover and day-to-day operations first, then recommend the services that are actually relevant rather than a fixed package.

Expenses need to be recorded accurately and be genuinely incurred for the purposes of your business. For aesthetic businesses that might include treatment consumables such as fillers, toxin, needles and skincare products, equipment, clinic rent and utilities, insurance, training and CPD, professional memberships, marketing spend, and payments to sessional or associate practitioners. How each item is treated can vary, and some costs — particularly larger equipment purchases — may need to be accounted for differently, which is why accurate records matter from the outset.

VAT is something aesthetic businesses should consider, but the position is not the same for everyone. Whether a treatment is exempt, standard-rated or falls outside the scope depends on the nature and purpose of the service being provided and the specific circumstances of the business — for example, whether it is a purely cosmetic procedure or a treatment for a medical or psychological condition. Registration thresholds and the way you invoice can also affect the outcome, so it is worth reviewing your position with an accountant rather than assuming a blanket rule applies.

Yes. If your clinic employs reception staff, therapists, clinic assistants or admin support, we can run payroll, handle PAYE and manage the related reporting obligations. Aesthetic businesses also frequently pay self-employed practitioners or associates who treat clients on their behalf, and these arrangements need to be set up correctly so that the tax and status position is clear. We can help you understand the difference between employees and genuinely self-employed contractors.

Yes, switching accountants is usually more straightforward than people expect. We can help coordinate the handover, obtain the information needed from your previous accountant, and make sure your records and filing obligations are transferred without disruption. If you are currently behind on bookkeeping or have not kept records as thoroughly as you would like, we can help bring everything up to date as part of getting started.
