I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.Posted on Google![]()

I had a positive experience with Accotax. The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.Posted on Google![]()

We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.Posted on Google![]()

It covers the same core disciplines as any accountancy service, applied to healthcare circumstances. In practice, that usually means bookkeeping, Self Assessment for self-employed clinicians and locums, annual accounts and Corporation Tax for practices trading through a limited company or partnership, payroll for mixed clinical and administrative teams, VAT registration and returns where relevant, management accounts, and tax planning around structure, profit extraction and pension contributions. The difference is in the detail — understanding how NHS income, private fees and clinical expenses interact on a return.
It is suitable for the whole sector. Doctors, GPs, consultants, dentists, dental associates, pharmacists, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, podiatrists, optometrists, care providers and clinic owners all have accounting needs that differ from general trading businesses. Because the tax treatment of healthcare income and expenses is fairly specific, having an accountant who deals with these situations regularly tends to save time and reduce the risk of errors.
You would normally need to file a Self Assessment return covering both your employed income and your locum or self-employed earnings. PAYE deducted from employment is credited against your total liability, and any additional tax is collected through the return, often via payments on account. If you operate through your own limited company, off-payroll working rules may also apply depending on who you contract with, so it is worth reviewing your arrangements rather than assuming the position stays the same year to year.
Generally, costs that are incurred wholly and exclusively for your work. Common examples include professional indemnity insurance, registration and professional body fees, clinical equipment and instruments, specialist textbooks and journals, uniforms, and travel between separate work sites. Costs with a private element, such as a home office or a car used for both work and personal journeys, are usually apportioned. Keeping clear records and receipts is what makes these claims straightforward rather than a point of debate.
Most healthcare services provided by appropriately registered professionals are exempt from VAT. The picture becomes more complex when a practice also supplies something outside that exemption, such as retail products, certain cosmetic or non-medical treatments, or dispensary sales. In those cases a partial exemption calculation may be needed, which affects how much input VAT can be recovered. Reviewing this before the year end is far easier than unpicking it afterwards.
Payroll is run to whatever schedule suits the practice, covering payslips, tax and National Insurance deductions, Real Time Information submissions to HMRC, statutory payments and pension auto-enrolment. Associate and partner arrangements that fall outside standard employment are kept separate and reflected correctly in the accounts. Having payroll and year-end accounts handled together avoids the common problem of figures not reconciling.
Yes. Cloud accounting makes day-to-day records accessible from the practice, the consulting room or home, and documents can be shared securely rather than posted. Most clients find a mix works well: digital record keeping and remote communication for routine matters, with calls or meetings scheduled when a decision needs more detailed discussion, such as a structure change or a significant purchase.
The first step is a conversation about your situation. We will ask how you are structured, where your income comes from, what filings and deadlines are already in place, and what you would like the accounting relationship to look like. From there we outline the services that fit, explain what is needed from you, and agree a schedule for accounts, returns and payroll so nothing is left to the last minute.
