Physiotherapists in Hamilton, books handled

- Year-end corporate tax (T2), included
What we take off a Hamilton physiotherapy clinic’s plate
Insurer and patient billing
Insurer claims and patient payments are reconciled so your books reflect what you actually earned.
Employees or contractors?
Whether your practitioners are employees or contractors changes how they're paid and reported; we handle each correctly.
Growing to a second location
Multi-location books are tracked distinctly and rolled up for the corporation, so growth doesn't muddy your numbers.
Why Hamilton physiotherapists choose taxifi
Hamilton's economy has manufacturing bones and a renovation-era present: older housing stock being rebuilt street by street, waterfront and downtown redevelopment, and GTA spillover bringing new customers — and new competition — up the escarpment. It is a growth market that rewards businesses ready to scale cleanly.
That context shapes the work: HST-exempt billings on the revenue side and unrecoverable HST buried in almost every clinic cost is the normal state of a Hamilton physiotherapy clinic's paperwork. taxifi absorbs it — daily AI bookkeeping, accountant-signed filings — so the clinic's real economics are visible every month, not once a year.
Common questions
Do physiotherapists charge HST in Ontario?
Physiotherapy services provided to individuals are generally HST-exempt — but exempt cuts both ways: you don't charge HST on treatment, and you also can't claim input tax credits on most of what the clinic buys, so the HST on rent, equipment, and supplies is a real cost of running a Hamilton clinic. Books that understand that produce honest margins; books that don't quietly overstate them.
What if my clinic also sells products or offers services that aren't exempt?
Then you may be a mixed supplier — exempt treatment alongside taxable sales like certain products or non-treatment services — and that can create an HST registration and a proration question that catches clinics off guard. The right answer depends on your actual revenue mix; it is exactly the kind of thing your accountant should look at before CRA does.
We're growing with Hamilton. Can taxifi scale as we do?
That is the design. The flat monthly price is quoted for the size you are now and revisited as you grow — adding payroll when you hire, HST filings as volumes rise, and advisory when the decisions get bigger. Growing Hamilton businesses shouldn't outgrow their bookkeeping every eighteen months.
I already have a bookkeeper or accountant in Hamilton. How hard is switching?
The switch is free: we deal with your current provider directly, collect your file and history, and take over the monthly work. Any catch-up is scoped and priced before you commit. Your part is about an hour, and mid-year is fine.
