Accountants for Physiotherapists in Redbourn

They handle the accounting, tax and compliance work that sits behind a physiotherapy practice, from bookkeeping and Self Assessment to annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT where it applies. In practice that means keeping treatment income, clinic expenses, equipment costs and professional subscriptions accurately recorded, preparing and filing returns on time, and helping you understand your tax position so there are no surprises. They can also advise on business structure, cash flow and whether a sole trader, partnership or limited company setup continues to suit you.

We support self-employed physiotherapists, private practitioners, sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, along with independent physiotherapy clinic owners, rehabilitation clinics and other physiotherapy businesses. Some clients see patients on a self-employed basis alongside employed work, others run a clinic with treatment rooms and staff, and others practise in partnership with fellow practitioners. Because obligations differ depending on structure and how income is earned, we look at your individual circumstances rather than applying a standard template.

Yes, and their needs are often more varied than people expect. A self-employed physiotherapist typically needs Self Assessment, accurate bookkeeping and clear records of treatment income and allowable expenses, and may also benefit from help with payments on account and planning for tax bills that fall due. If you also receive a salary from employed work, or you are considering moving to a limited company, we can look at how those pieces fit together before you make a decision.

It depends on how the clinic is structured and run. A sole trader physiotherapist will usually need Self Assessment, bookkeeping and good expense records, while a limited company will also need Corporation Tax, annual accounts, and often payroll and VAT support. Clinics with staff or self-employed associates generally need help with wages, payments to contractors and management information to track performance, and equipment purchases may raise capital allowances questions. The right mix is driven by your circumstances, not by a fixed package.

Common records include treatment and consultation fees, block bookings, insurer or third-party payments, class and course income and product sales, alongside costs such as treatment room hire or premises costs, equipment and consumables, professional subscriptions, indemnity insurance, training and CPD, marketing, practice software and phone costs, and wages or payments to associates and contractors. Whether a particular cost is allowable depends on your circumstances, so it is worth keeping clear records and receipts for anything business related. We can help you work out what is relevant to your practice.

Yes. Corporation Tax returns, annual accounts and confirmation statements are part of running a limited company, and we can prepare and file these for you. For sole traders and partnerships the equivalent work falls under Self Assessment, where trading profits are reported and taxed through your personal tax return. We also help with the records behind those filings, including income, expenses, equipment purchases and director-related matters, so the figures are accurate and deadlines are met.

Possibly, but it depends on the nature of the services you provide, your professional circumstances and the applicable conditions. Some healthcare and welfare services can be treated as exempt from VAT, while other activities such as certain products, equipment sales or non-exempt services may be standard-rated, and there are registration thresholds and rules to consider. Because the treatment is not automatic either way, it is worth reviewing your position rather than assuming. We can look at your specific services and turnover and explain what is likely to apply.

Yes, switching is usually straightforward. We can take over the bookkeeping, accounts and tax work from your current accountant, liaise about the records and information needed, and make sure nothing falls through the gap during the changeover. To get started, simply get in touch with a little detail about your physiotherapy business, including how it is structured, how you earn income and the support you are looking for, and we can explain the next steps.
