Products & services
Accounting
Your clinic’s story, told through the numbers. We understand that most aesthetics and healthcare professionals didn’t go into business because they loved numbers. You did it because you care about people - about results, wellbeing, confidence. But behind every confident clinic is a clear and accurate financial picture. At Core Connect, we offer more than just compliance. We help you see what’s really happening in your business - what’s working, what’s not, and where you’re headed. Whether you run a busy aesthetics practice or a growing healthcare clinic, we prepare your accounts with care and clarity, so you never feel in the dark. We help you: • Make sense of your financials, not just meet deadlines • Understand the impact of decisions like hiring or investing in equipment • Stay compliant, calm, and confident It’s not just accounting. It’s peace of mind without the jargon.
Bookkeeping
We’ve met so many wonderful clinic owners who are amazing at what they do… but behind the scenes, the paperwork is in a drawer (or several), the receipts are in handbags, and there’s a sense of dread every time “bookkeeping” comes up. It doesn’t have to be this way. We handle your day-to-day bookkeeping with love and precision. Using cloud based tools like Xero and Dext, we’ll capture everything, match transactions, and reconcile your accounts so you always know where you stand, without the Sunday night stress. We help you: • Stay on top of cash flow and supplier payments • Know what’s coming in and going out at a glance • Prepare smoothly for year-end or VAT submissions You didn’t go into aesthetics to become a bookkeeper - so let us take it off your hands with a smile. :)
VAT
VAT confusion? You’re not alone. In the aesthetics and healthcare space, VAT can feel like a grey area. Some treatments are exempt, others aren’t. Retail products, bundles, and memberships? Even trickier. We get so many questions like: "Do I need to register?" "What counts as medical?" "What if I split the invoice?" The truth is, VAT isn’t one-size-fits-all in this industry—but we know the ins and outs. We’ll help you determine whether you need to register, how to structure your pricing properly, and how to stay on the right side of HMRC without overpaying. We help you: • Understand what’s exempt, what’s standard-rated, and how to report it • Register and submit returns with ease • Avoid penalties and reclaim VAT where possible With us, VAT doesn’t feel like a minefield, it becomes manageable, and dare we say… straightforward?
Personal Tax
Because you matter too. You’re pouring into others all day - clients, staff, patients. But when it comes to your own tax affairs, it’s easy to leave yourself last. We step in to make sure your personal tax return is accurate, optimised, and filed on time. Whether you’re drawing dividends from your company, renting out a property, or earning overseas income, we handle the details, so you don’t have to. And if you’re a doctor or nurse with NHS income and a side aesthetic business, we understand how to deal with both streams without missing a beat. We help you: • File on time and avoid late penalties • Maximise allowable claims and reduce your tax bill ethically • Make sense of dividends, pensions, and savings Tax doesn’t have to feel heavy. With the right support, it becomes just another thing quietly taken care of in the background.
Business Advisory
Your vision, with a plan behind it. Whether you’re dreaming of opening your second clinic, finally hiring a practice manager, or one day selling your business and retiring to the south of France (yes, it’s possible!) - you need more than hope. You need a plan. That’s where our business advisory service comes in. We’re your thinking partner - someone who understands the numbers but also listens to the heart behind the business. We don’t overwhelm you with spreadsheets. We help you make smart, forward-thinking decisions - rooted in data but aligned with your dreams. We help you: • Set financial goals and track your progress • Understand pricing, profitability, and growth levers • Plan for expansion, succession, or exit This is the service that turns stress into strategy and guesswork into confidence.
Making Tax Digital
The new rules are coming but we’ll walk you through it. From April 2026, many sole traders and landlords will need to submit quarterly updates to HMRC. If you’re running a clinic, doing locum work, or renting out property, this could apply to you and the thought of it can be daunting. But we’re here to guide you, one step at a time. We’ll set you up with compliant software, show you how to use it (or do it for you), and make sure everything is submitted on time. We help you: • Understand what MTD means for you • Stay compliant with the least amount of disruption • Avoid penalties while embracing digital tools that work MTD might be compulsory but that doesn’t mean it has to feel complicated.
Business StartUp
We know how exciting (and overwhelming!) it can be to start your own clinic. Between registering with HMRC, choosing the right business structure, setting up systems, and keeping track of cash flow, it can feel like a full-time job before you’ve even seen your first client. At Core Connect, we specialise in helping aesthetics professionals build beautiful businesses from the ground up. Whether you’re a doctor branching out, a nurse with a dream, or a therapist setting up your own space, we’ll help you get started with confidence and clarity. We support you with: • Choosing the right setup (sole trader, limited company, or partnership) • Registering with HMRC and getting your tax right from day one • Setting up your bookkeeping and accounting systems • Understanding your numbers so you feel in control, not confused We’re here to hold your hand through those early days and celebrate your first wins with you. Because every confident clinic starts with a strong financial foundation!
