Our Story

A Tax Practice Built Around Physical Therapists

Focused On Physical Therapy.

We built PhysioTax with one type of client in mind — physical therapists. That focus means every service, every process, and every conversation is shaped by experience working with PTs specifically.

Self-employed & clinic PT clients
Flat-fee, transparent pricing
Year-round access, not just tax season
Fully remote — work with us from anywhere

Why We Built PhysioTax

After working with clients across many industries, we kept seeing the same pattern with physical therapists: skilled, dedicated clinicians who weren't getting the focused attention their tax and accounting needs deserved.

Physical therapy practices have their own patterns — the way income is structured, the deductions that apply, the business decisions that come up over time. A practice that works exclusively with PTs develops that knowledge through repetition and focus, not by figuring it out on the fly.

PhysioTax was built on a straightforward idea: physical therapists deserve a tax and accounting partner who understands their business model, stays current on what affects their profession, and is genuinely committed to their financial well-being.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we hear most often from PTs — answered plainly.

Tax & Accounting For PTs

Everything You Need To Know Before Getting Started

Do I really need a PT-specific tax professional? +
Not necessarily — a qualified generalist tax professional can handle your return. But a PT-specific practice knows your deduction types, your income structures, and your business questions without you having to explain them. The specialization means fewer things fall through the cracks and a more consistent experience year over year.
Do you work with PTs remotely? +
Yes — we work fully remotely with PT clients. Our process is built for it: secure document sharing, video check-ins, and year-round communication so you're never waiting until tax season to get answers.
When does making an S-corp election make sense for a PT? +
Generally when your net self-employment income reaches a level where the tax structure makes mathematical sense — but it depends on your state, your reasonable compensation, and your administrative costs. We analyze this before recommending it. Many PTs consider the election without a full picture of the costs and compliance requirements involved.
What PT-specific deductions do most tax professionals miss? +
The most commonly overlooked include: professional liability and malpractice insurance premiums, continuing education and CEU expenses, state and specialty licensure fees, professional association memberships (APTA, specialty sections), home office deductions for documentation and administrative time, and equipment or supplies used for patient care. We review all of these as part of our standard process.
I work as a 1099 contractor AND a W-2 employee. Can you help? +
Yes — this is a common situation for PTs. It requires careful handling to ensure your self-employment income is reported correctly alongside your W-2 wages, with appropriate deductions applied to the 1099 portion. We also address quarterly estimated tax obligations for the self-employment income so there are no surprises at filing time.
How does pricing work? +
We charge flat fees, not hourly rates. The fee depends on the services included — tax prep only, tax prep and bookkeeping, or a full engagement. We provide a clear scope and price before you commit. No surprises. Book a free consultation and we'll walk through what makes sense for your situation.
How do I get started? +
Book a free 15-minute introduction call. We'll talk about your practice, what you need, and whether we're a good fit. If it makes sense to move forward, we'll send you a clear engagement letter and onboarding materials. The whole process is straightforward and typically takes less than a week to get started.
Can you help me set up accounting software for my PT practice? +
Yes. We set up and maintain accounting software for PT practices as part of our bookkeeping service — with a chart of accounts and categorization structure designed specifically for PT practices. If you already have software set up but aren't confident in how it's configured, we can review and clean it up.
