Accountancy for the fitness industry
You train your clients. We train your numbers.
The Fitness Accountant is a specialist practice for personal trainers, gym owners and fitness businesses — based in Belfast and working with clients mainly across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
What we handle
Everything a fitness business needs, in one place.
Bookkeeping & accounts
Day-to-day books kept clean, year-end accounts prepared and filed on time — so you can stay on the gym floor, not the paperwork.
Tax & self assessment
Returns filed accurately and on deadline, with legitimate fitness-industry expenses claimed so you keep more of what you earn.
Payroll & VAT
Payroll for your team and VAT handled correctly — whether you employ staff or work with freelance coaches.
Growth & business advice
From sole trader to limited company, studio launch to multi-site gym — clear, practical advice at every stage.
The practice
An accountant who speaks your language.
Fitness businesses are different — class packs, memberships, freelance coaches, equipment write-offs, seasonal peaks. We work exclusively with the industry, so nothing about your world needs explaining. You deal directly with your accountant, every time.
Based in Belfast, we currently work with clients mainly across the UK and the Republic of Ireland — most of it remotely, around your training schedule.
