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.

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.

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.

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.

Which Doctors Do We Support?

Doctors rarely fit into one simple financial box, and the accounting work should reflect that. We support GPs, hospital doctors and consultants, locum doctors working shift to shift, salaried doctors on payroll, private practitioners running their own clinics, and doctors who combine NHS work with private income or consultancy. Your accounting needs can vary considerably depending on whether you are employed, self-employed or both, how many income sources you have, whether you operate as a sole trader, partner or limited company, and whether you have responsibilities such as practice or partnership finances. A locum doctor with irregular monthly income faces different record-keeping and tax questions from a consultant with a private practice and a pension to plan around, so the advice is shaped around your circumstances rather than a standard template.

GPs

Accounting and tax support for GPs with NHS income, private work, practice interests or additional professional earnings.

Hospital Doctors

Support with Self Assessment, professional expenses and tax matters alongside employment income and other professional earnings.

Consultants

Accounting support for consultants managing NHS employment, private practice income, professional expenses and tax obligations.

Locum Doctors

Support with Self Assessment, locum income, allowable expenses, bookkeeping and relevant business structure considerations.

Salaried Doctors

Tax and accounting support for salaried doctors with additional professional income or expenses requiring reporting.

Private Practitioners

Accounting support for doctors providing private medical services through individual practices, partnerships or companies.

Our Accounting Services for Doctors

We provide accounting and tax support tailored to medical professionals, covering the areas that tend to matter most. That includes Self Assessment and personal tax returns where you have NHS income, private medical income, locum fees or consultancy earnings, along with bookkeeping to keep your records organised throughout the year rather than in a rush before a deadline. For doctors operating through a limited company, we can assist with annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT where applicable, while those in partnerships may need support with partnership accounts, profit allocations and the associated tax returns. We can also help with management accounts, business structure advice, tax planning around multiple income streams, and financial reporting for a private practice. Because treatment depends on your employment status, income sources and how your work is structured, we confirm what applies to you before any work begins.

Self Assessment Tax Returns

Preparation and support for doctors with employment, locum, private practice or other taxable income.

Common Accounting and Tax Challenges for Doctors

Medical careers often produce complex financial arrangements, and the tax side can become harder to manage as those arrangements build up over time. A few of the areas doctors most often ask us about include:

  • Multiple income sources in a single tax year — NHS salary, locum fees, private consultations and consultancy work can all arrive through different routes, which makes it easy to lose track of what has already been taxed and what still needs declaring.
  • Self Assessment obligations — doctors with self-employed income, untaxed income or higher earnings frequently need to file a return, and the figures need to reconcile with payslips, P60s and invoices rather than being estimated.
  • Allowable professional expenses — medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, registration fees, certain training and professional development costs, equipment and travel can all be relevant, but only where the expense genuinely relates to your work and the rules are met.
  • Travel and mileage records — between sites, practices, hospitals and home visits, travel can be significant, yet without reliable mileage and journey records it is difficult to support a claim.
  • Mixed employment and self-employment — the interaction between PAYE income and self-employed profit affects how much tax is due and how payments on account are calculated, which can catch doctors out.
  • Pension considerations — annual allowance questions and the way contributions interact with your overall tax position are common concerns for higher-earning doctors, and they benefit from early review rather than a last-minute scramble.
  • Choosing the right business structure — sole trader, partnership or limited company each bring different compliance and tax consequences, and the right answer depends on your income level, plans and risk profile.
  • Practice and partnership finances — doctors involved in running a practice or partnership often need support with profit shares, drawings, partnership accounts and reporting to other partners.
  • Record keeping and deadlines — busy clinical rotas make it easy to fall behind on receipts, invoices and filing dates, and disorganised records tend to cost both time and money.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke

Doctors choose CruseBurke because they want an accountant who understands the shape of a medical career, not just the numbers on a return. We take the time to map out where your income comes from, how it is taxed and what records you need to keep, then explain the position in plain English rather than jargon. You get practical support with Self Assessment, bookkeeping, allowable expenses, business structures and compliance, along with clear communication about what is due and when. Whether you are a locum doctor with fluctuating income, a salaried doctor with a small private practice, or a consultant with several income streams, we aim to keep your financial affairs organised, defensible and easier to plan around.

Healthcare Focus

We support GPs, locum doctors, consultants and other medical professionals with accounting and tax matters tailored to their individual circumstances.

GMC and indemnity fees, royal college subscriptions, exams, courses, equipment and mileage — nothing left on the table.

One agreed monthly fee, quoted up front, with no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.

Our Simple 3-Step Process

Getting the right accounting support in place does not need to be complicated. Step one is a conversation about your circumstances — your roles, your income sources, whether you have NHS income, private fees, locum work, consultancy earnings or a practice interest, and what you want from an accountant. Step two is a review of your current accounting and tax position, including your records, filings, business structure and any outstanding deadlines, so we can identify what needs attention. Step three is putting the right support in place, covering the services that fit your situation and agreeing how we will work together going forward, including how records will be shared and when information is needed.

1. Initial Consultation (It’s Free):

We begin by getting to know your practice and understanding your unique needs. This step ensures we have a clear picture of your operations and your goals.

2. Customised Plan:

Based on our initial discussion, we create a personalised plan designed specifically for you. The aim is to keep everything organised and easy to follow. You can rest assured that your numbers are being handled with expert precision.

3. Ongoing Support & Updates:

From there, we take care of the ongoing work and keep you updated with reports. You’ll always know what’s happening, and we’re always here to answer your questions, ensuring you have a clear picture of your financial health at all times.

What Makes CruseBurke Different for Doctors

What sets our approach apart is the willingness to look at the whole picture rather than just processing a return. Doctors often arrive with a mix of PAYE income, self-employed earnings and company income, plus expenses that need proper substantiation and deadlines that do not move because a rota changed. We work through those strands methodically — reconciling income sources, reviewing professional expenses such as indemnity cover and subscriptions, keeping bookkeeping current, and advising on whether your current structure still suits your circumstances. Where your situation changes, for example when private work grows, a locum pattern becomes more regular, or a partnership arrangement develops, the accounting approach can be adjusted to match. The aim is straightforward, well-organised compliance and advice you can actually use.

FAQs

Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. If you are employed on a straightforward salary with no additional income, your tax may already be handled through PAYE. Once you add locum work, private fees, consultancy income, a practice interest or higher earnings that trigger Self Assessment, the picture becomes more involved and professional support usually pays for itself in accuracy and time saved.

It depends on your circumstances. Salaried doctors whose tax is fully collected through PAYE may not need to file, but self-employed income from locum work, private practice or consultancy typically does require a return. Higher earners, those with untaxed income, and some doctors with pension or investment income may also need to file. We can confirm your position based on your actual income sources.

Locum income is usually treated as self-employed trading income if you work on that basis, which means reporting earnings and expenses through Self Assessment and paying tax and National Insurance accordingly. Where you are engaged through an agency on PAYE terms, the position may differ. Because arrangements vary, it is worth reviewing your contracts and payment routes rather than assuming one treatment applies.

Commonly claimed items include medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, registration fees, certain professional development and training costs, and equipment or travel that is genuinely required for your work. Whether a specific cost qualifies depends on the rules and your working arrangements, so expenses should be reviewed individually and supported by records rather than assumed.

Yes. Doctors who operate through a limited company often need support with annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll for directors and VAT where relevant, alongside their personal tax position. Whether a limited company suits you depends on your income levels, how you take money out of the business and your longer-term plans, so structure advice usually comes before incorporation.

VAT registration depends on your taxable turnover and the nature of your services, and some medical services are exempt. The answer is therefore specific to what you provide and how you provide it. If you are approaching or exceeding the registration threshold, or you are unsure whether your services are exempt, it is worth reviewing before making a decision.

Yes. Accounting support can be provided remotely, with records and documents shared securely and meetings held by phone or video where that suits your schedule better than travelling. Many doctors find this easier to fit around clinical commitments, and it makes no difference to the quality or depth of the advice provided.

Changing accountants is usually straightforward. We ask for authorisation to contact your existing accountant, request the relevant records and professional clearance, then review your position and take over the filings that are due. Most of the work happens behind the scenes, so the process is generally less disruptive than doctors expect.
