He was incredibly quick to action everything and made the whole process straightforward and stress-free. He took care of everything promptly and kept me informed throughout, which was greatly appreciated.

Muhammad was professional, responsive and genuinely helpful from start to finish. It was clear that he cared about providing a great service and making sure everything was handled properly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, efficient and professional.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Accotx on a HMRC reclaim and overall, they did ultimately deliver on their promise, which I appreciate. The process did take longer than any of us expected, partly due to external delays with the tax authorities, and partly because there were some hiccups in communication and follow-up. However, despite those challenges, they stayed professional and stuck to the original agreed terms. If you’re considering using them, be prepared to stay in regular contact to keep things moving along. They are absolutely capable, have the expertise and willing to work with you, and overall  improving their services over time. I would certainly return for any future needs.

Physiotherapists and Practices We Support

As Accountants for Physiotherapists in East Lothian, we work with self-employed physiotherapists, private practitioners, independent physiotherapy clinic owners, rehabilitation practices and the wider range of physiotherapy businesses operating across the area. Accounting requirements can differ considerably depending on how you earn your income and how your business is structured — a sole trader treating patients on a self-employed basis has a very different set of obligations from a partnership running a shared clinic, or a limited company employing several therapists, reception staff and contractors. We take the time to understand whether you work alone, share premises, subcontract associates or run a growing clinic, so the support you receive reflects your actual circumstances rather than a generic template.

Self-employed physiotherapists

Our physiotherapist accountants assist with bookkeeping and tax returns with total transparency.

Physiotherapy clinics

We provide clinics with payroll processing, cash flow tracking and financial planning.

Specialist physiotherapists

We provide personalised accounting support, expense tracking and tax optimisation to physiotherapists.

Physiotherapy Startups

We help the physiotherapy startups with accounting software deployment and VAT advice.

Our Accounting Services for Physiotherapists

Our accounting services for physiotherapists and physiotherapy practices cover the areas that matter most day to day, including bookkeeping, Self Assessment tax returns, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll for clinic staff and associates, management accounts, tax planning and VAT support where it applies to your circumstances. We help you keep treatment income, clinic expenses, equipment purchases, treatment room and premises costs, professional subscriptions, training, insurance and contractor payments properly recorded and correctly treated, with a business structure that suits how you actually work. Not every physiotherapist needs every service — a sole practitioner may simply want help with Self Assessment and record keeping, while a limited company clinic may need payroll, management accounts and Corporation Tax support alongside VAT advice, and we tailor our involvement accordingly.

Tax Returns & Compliance

Our physiotherapist accountants handle Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, and VAT requirements with precision.

Cashflow Monitoring

We track your cash flow patterns and provide insights to enhance overall clinic performance.

Bookkeeping & Financial Reporting

Our physiotherapy bookkeeping services provide you with up-to-date financial records so you can see all your income and expenses.

Payroll & PAYE Services

We manage payroll for physiotherapy clinics, including PAYE submissions and pension contributions.

VAT Regulation

We guide on VAT registration and manage VAT returns to help clinics avoid costly errors and penalties.

Key Accounting Challenges for Physiotherapists

Physiotherapy businesses often deal with a mix of income streams, from one-to-one treatment sessions and block bookings to sports injury work, rehabilitation programmes and clinic-based services, which can make record keeping and tax reporting more involved than it first appears. Managing equipment costs, treatment room or premises expenses, staff and contractor payments, professional subscriptions and cash flow while meeting Self Assessment, payroll or Corporation Tax deadlines can quickly become difficult without a clear system in place. VAT treatment is another area where the position is not always straightforward, as whether a service is exempt or taxable can depend on the nature of the treatment, how it is delivered, the professional circumstances involved and the applicable conditions, so it is worth reviewing rather than assuming.

Why Specialist Accounting Support Matters for Physiotherapists

Accounting support built around physiotherapy businesses recognises the practical realities of the sector: variable treatment income, appointment-based workloads, equipment and room costs, associate or locum payments and expenses that need to be captured accurately throughout the year. It also helps to have someone who understands how self-employed practitioners, partnerships and limited companies differ in the way they report income, claim expenses and settle their tax liabilities, so nothing is missed and no unnecessary tax is paid. Reliable bookkeeping and well-prepared financial records also make it far easier to monitor clinic performance, plan for quieter periods and approach funding, leasing or expansion conversations with confidence.

FAQs About Accountants for Physiotherapists

What do Accountants for Physiotherapists actually do?

Accountants for Physiotherapists handle the financial and tax side of running a physiotherapy practice, which typically includes keeping business records up to date, preparing Self Assessment tax returns, annual accounts and Corporation Tax computations where relevant, running payroll, and advising on tax planning and VAT. Just as importantly, they help interpret what your treatment income and clinic costs mean for your tax position, so you are not overpaying or leaving yourself exposed to avoidable penalties and interest.

Who can Accountants for Physiotherapists support?

Support is available for self-employed physiotherapists, sole traders, private practitioners working from home or rented treatment rooms, partnerships running a shared clinic, and limited companies operating physiotherapy or rehabilitation clinics with employed staff or associate therapists. Because the accounting requirements differ depending on structure and how income is earned, we look at your individual circumstances first and recommend the services that are actually relevant to you, rather than applying the same approach to everyone.

Do you work with self-employed physiotherapists?

Yes, self-employed physiotherapists are a core part of the work we do, and the support usually centres on accurate record keeping, Self Assessment tax returns, allowable expense treatment and tax planning across the year. We can also help if you are combining self-employed physiotherapy work with employment elsewhere, or if you are considering whether a limited company structure might suit you better as your income grows.

What accounting services do physiotherapy clinics need?

It varies, but physiotherapy clinics commonly need bookkeeping, payroll for therapists and administrative staff, annual accounts, Corporation Tax support, management accounts and help with VAT where it applies. Clinics that pay associates or locum physiotherapists may also need support with contractor arrangements and the associated tax and reporting obligations. The right combination depends on your turnover, your structure and how you engage the people who work with you.

Which expenses might a physiotherapist need to record?

Typical records include equipment such as treatment beds, electrotherapy devices and exercise aids, treatment room or premises costs, professional body subscriptions and indemnity insurance, continuing professional development and training, specialist clothing, laundry, software and booking systems, marketing, and payments to staff or associates. The exact treatment of an expense depends on your circumstances and whether it is incurred wholly and exclusively for business purposes, so it is worth reviewing anything unusual rather than assuming it qualifies.

Do physiotherapists need to consider VAT?

VAT is worth reviewing, but the position is not automatic in either direction. Whether a particular physiotherapy service is exempt or taxable can depend on the nature of the service, how it is provided, the professional circumstances involved and the applicable conditions, and other income such as retail sales, equipment, or non-treatment services may follow different rules. We look at your specific activities and turnover so you understand whether registration is required and how it would affect your pricing and record keeping.

Can you help with payroll and contractor payments?

Yes. If you employ receptionists, therapists, clinic assistants or other staff, we can handle payroll, payslips, PAYE reporting and the associated compliance. If you use self-employed associates or locums instead, we can help you understand the tax and status considerations involved, including how payments should be recorded and reported, so your arrangements are clear and consistent.

Can I switch to CruseBurke from another accountant, and how do I get started?

Switching is usually straightforward, and we can liaise with your existing accountant to obtain the records and information we need, including details of any ongoing filings. To get started, simply get in touch with an outline of how you work — whether you are a self-employed physiotherapist, a partnership or a limited company clinic — and we will explain what information is needed and how the transition will be handled.
