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, we work with self-employed physiotherapists, private practitioners, independent physiotherapy clinic owners, rehabilitation practices and other physiotherapy businesses, each of which tends to have its own financial priorities. How we help depends on how you operate: a sole trader treating patients a few days a week will usually need something quite different from a limited company running a clinic with treatment rooms, equipment and employed staff, while a partnership of physiotherapists sits somewhere in between with its own profit-sharing and reporting considerations. We take the time to understand your structure, how your income is generated and what you actually need, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach to every physiotherapy professional we support.

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

Depending on your circumstances, our accounting services for physiotherapists can include Self Assessment tax returns, annual accounts, day-to-day bookkeeping, Corporation Tax, payroll for clinic staff, management accounts, tax planning, VAT support where applicable, and help with choosing or changing your business structure. In practice, that means keeping proper records of treatment income, clinic expenses, equipment purchases, treatment room or premises costs, professional subscriptions, training, insurance, staff and contractor payments, and the many smaller costs that come with running a physiotherapy business. Not every physiotherapist needs every service, so we focus on what is genuinely relevant to you, whether you are a sole trader building a private caseload or a limited company running a busy rehabilitation clinic with several practitioners on the books.

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

Accounting for a physiotherapy business can get complicated quickly, because income often arrives from several sources at once — private patient fees, insurance-funded treatment, block bookings, sports club work or subcontracting for another clinic — while costs such as equipment, treatment rooms, professional subscriptions and staff or contractor payments need to be recorded accurately. Cash flow can be uneven when appointment numbers fluctuate or when payments from insurers and corporate clients arrive later than expected, which makes timely bookkeeping and sensible tax planning important. VAT is another area worth checking carefully, as the treatment of physiotherapy services can depend on the nature of the service, your professional circumstances and the applicable conditions, so it should never be assumed either way.

Why Specialist Accounting Support Matters for Physiotherapists

Specialist accounting support is useful for physiotherapists because the financial side of a practice rarely looks like a standard service business: income can be spread across private patients, insurers, sports teams and subcontract work, while expenses cover everything from treatment equipment and room hire to professional subscriptions, training and clinical indemnity insurance. Keeping those records accurate makes a real difference at year end, when Self Assessment returns or annual accounts need to reflect what you have actually earned and spent. It also makes payroll, clinic costs and day-to-day cash flow easier to manage, so more of your time goes into treating patients rather than chasing paperwork.

FAQs About Accountants for Physiotherapists

Below are answers to the questions we are asked most often by physiotherapists, private practitioners and physiotherapy clinic owners about accounting, tax and ongoing support.

What do Accountants for Physiotherapists do?

Accountants for Physiotherapists handle the financial and tax side of running a physiotherapy practice. In practice, that usually means preparing Self Assessment tax returns for self-employed physiotherapists, preparing annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns for limited companies, maintaining bookkeeping records, running payroll for clinic staff, and advising on tax planning, allowable expenses and business structure. The exact mix depends on how you practise — a sole trader working from a single treatment room has different requirements from a limited company running a rehabilitation clinic with employed therapists and subcontractors.

Do you work with self-employed physiotherapists?

Yes. Self-employed physiotherapists are a core part of the work we do, and support typically centres on keeping accurate records of treatment income and practice expenses, preparing and filing Self Assessment tax returns on time, and planning ahead so tax bills do not come as a surprise. If you are a sole trader, we can also help you understand your National Insurance position and advise on whether a different structure might suit you better as your caseload grows.

What accounting services do physiotherapy clinics need?

Clinics often need a broader set of services than an individual practitioner, because there are usually several income streams, employed or self-employed staff, treatment room costs, equipment and supplier payments to account for. Depending on the clinic, this can include bookkeeping, monthly or quarterly management accounts, payroll and contractor payments, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, VAT support where applicable, and help with financial planning. We only recommend the services that are relevant to your clinic rather than a fixed package applied to everyone.

Which expenses might a physiotherapist need to record?

Broadly speaking, physiotherapists tend to record costs directly connected to running a practice, such as treatment equipment, consumables, treatment room or premises costs, professional indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, continuing professional development and training, software and booking systems, marketing, and the fees of subcontractors or locum therapists. Whether a particular cost is allowable depends on the specifics, including whether it is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the business, so it is worth talking through anything unusual with us before you assume it can or cannot be claimed.

Do physiotherapists need to consider VAT?

Sometimes, but it is not automatic either way. VAT treatment can depend on the nature of the service being provided, your professional circumstances and whether the applicable conditions are met, so some services may be exempt while others are standard-rated, and there are rules around registration thresholds and what counts as taxable turnover. If your clinic also sells products such as supports, braces or supplements, or provides non-treatment services, those can be treated differently again. Because the position is fact-specific, it is best to review your own activities rather than assume all physiotherapy services fall on the same side.

Can you help with payroll and contractor payments?

Yes. If your clinic employs receptionists, administrative staff, other therapists or support workers, we can handle payroll, payslips, and the related reporting and payments. Where you use self-employed associates, locums or subcontractors instead, we can help you keep those payments properly recorded and advise on the documentation that should sit behind them, since the tax treatment of a worker can depend on the actual working arrangements rather than simply what the contract calls them.

Can I switch to CruseBurke from another accountant?

Yes, and switching is usually more straightforward than people expect. We would generally ask for details of your current accountant, confirm your business structure and accounting period, and arrange for the relevant records and information to be handed over. If you are midway through a tax year, we can pick things up from where your previous accountant left off and make sure nothing is missed in the meantime.
