Accounting Built for Speech and Language Therapists
Speech and language therapists face accounting challenges that general accountants rarely handle. VAT exemption on clinical services, irrecoverable input VAT, mixed NHS and private income, school contracts and medico-legal fees all demand advisors who know how SLT practices manage finances.
ABM Chartered Accountants works with self-employed SLTs, private practice owners, locum speech therapists and multi-therapist clinics across England, delivering structured financial support for SLT businesses and individual practitioners. Every tax return, VAT review and account is handled accurately.
Helping Speech Therapists Keep More of Their Earnings
SLT practice owners need more than basic compliance. ABM Chartered Accountants prepares practice accounts, VAT advisory on exempt clinical services, self assessments and tax planning, giving speech therapists clear visibility over clinical income, contract fees, room costs and available reliefs.
Whether you work as a self-employed SLT, run a private practice, take school contracts or manage a multi-therapist clinic, our ICAEW and ACCA qualified team adapts to your setup, keeping the business and individual therapists covered on tax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions independent SLTs, private practice owners and locum speech therapists ask about specialist accounting.
Are SLT services VAT exempt?
Yes. Clinical speech and language therapy by HCPC-registered practitioners is VAT exempt. However, input VAT on purchases cannot be reclaimed. This makes cost control and supplier pricing important for margins.
How is medico-legal income treated?
Expert witness reports and medico-legal assessments are taxable income. They must be recorded separately as they often involve different billing terms and payment timelines compared to standard clinical sessions.
What expenses can SLTs claim?
SLTs claim HCPC fees, RCSLT and ASLTIP memberships, indemnity insurance, CPD courses, assessment materials, therapy resources, room rental, travel and professional software. Correct classification maximises deductions.
How are school contracts accounted for?
School and local authority contracts are invoiced on agreed terms, often termly or monthly. Income must be recognised in the correct period and tracked separately from private and medico-legal fees.
Sole trader or limited company?
Sole trader suits SLTs with lower income and simpler admin. Limited companies often work better at higher profit levels through dividend efficiency. Professional review ensures the right structure for you.
Can ABM support SLTs nationwide?
Yes. ABM Chartered Accountants serves speech and language therapists across England using secure cloud-based platforms, delivering specialist sector accounting to sole practitioners and multi-therapist clinics.
