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 come to accounting with very different circumstances, and the right approach depends on how you are paid and how you work. We support GPs, including those in partnerships, salaried GP roles or working as locums, as well as hospital doctors and consultants with NHS income or clinical excellence awards. We also help doctors who see private patients, run their own clinics, provide medico-legal or consultancy services, or combine NHS work with private practice and locum shifts. Some doctors are employed throughout and simply need a Self Assessment return handled properly and their expenses reviewed. Others have self-employment income, a partnership profit share, or a limited company to run. Because tax treatment depends on employment status, income source, business structure and individual circumstances, we take time to understand your particular mix before advising on anything.

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

Our Accounting Services for Doctors

Our work for doctors centres on getting the detail right across every income stream. That usually includes Self Assessment tax returns that bring together NHS salary, private fees, locum income, consultancy earnings and partnership profits into one accurate position, supported by a proper review of allowable professional expenses. For doctors who are self-employed, we prepare annual accounts and can handle bookkeeping so that records stay tidy throughout the year rather than being reconstructed at the deadline. Where a limited company is involved, we look after statutory accounts, Corporation Tax, director payroll and dividend documentation. We also provide VAT guidance and returns, payroll and pension-related reporting for practice staff, partnership accounts and profit allocation, management accounts and financial reporting. Alongside compliance, we offer tax planning on business structure, profit extraction, pension contributions and the timing of income, always based on your own circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all formula.

Accounting and Tax Challenges Doctors Commonly Face

Doctors often build up a complex financial picture over time, layer by layer, without anyone looking at the whole. These are the areas that tend to cause the most difficulty, and the ones where early advice usually pays off.

  • Multiple income sources: NHS salary, private fees, locum sessions and consultancy work may each have different tax treatment, and bringing them together correctly in one return is essential to avoid errors or duplication.
  • Self Assessment accuracy: payments on account, pension contributions, gift aid and investment income all interact, so a return that simply reports figures can miss planning opportunities or create unexpected bills.
  • Allowable professional expenses: medical indemnity, GMC or specialist registration fees, professional body subscriptions, CPD and training costs are frequently claimable, but only where the rules are met. Many doctors under-claim simply because no one has reviewed their spending.
  • Travel and mileage: journeys between sites, home visits and practice locations are treated differently depending on whether they are ordinary commuting, and keeping adequate records is often the sticking point.
  • Bookkeeping and record keeping: income arrives from multiple payers, so without a consistent system the year-end becomes a scramble that risks missed income or unsupported expense claims.
  • Pension considerations: annual allowance charges and tapered relief can affect higher earners, and the interaction between NHS pension contributions and private income needs careful thought before decisions are made.
  • Business structure: choosing between sole trader, partnership and limited company affects tax, administration and compliance obligations, and off-payroll working rules can also apply where services are provided through a company.
  • Partnership and practice finances: profit shares, capital accounts, drawings and practice expenses need clear accounting so that each partner understands their position and their tax liability.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke

Doctors choose CruseBurke because we understand the working patterns behind the numbers. We know that income may arrive from NHS payroll, private patients, locum agencies, medico-legal instructions and consultancy agreements, and we plan accordingly rather than treating each stream in isolation. Our advice is practical: what to claim, what to keep, what to set aside and when to act. We keep communication clear and jargon-free, explain the reasoning behind each recommendation in plain English, and make sure deadlines are tracked so nothing is left to the last minute. Whether you are a salaried doctor needing a straightforward return, a locum managing fluctuating income, or a consultant with a limited company and a private practice to run, we adapt our support to your circumstances and keep your records organised along the way.

Our Simple 3-Step Process

Getting your accounting in order should not add to an already demanding workload. First, we arrange an initial conversation to understand how you work, where your income comes from and what you already have in place, covering anything from NHS salary and private fees to locum shifts, consultancy work or a partnership profit share. Second, we review your accounting and tax requirements, including your Self Assessment position, record-keeping habits, expense claims, business structure and any VAT, payroll or company obligations, and identify what needs attention. Third, we set up the right support for you, agreeing responsibilities, timescales and the records we need, then handling the compliance work and keeping you informed as your circumstances change.

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 way we join the dots between clinical work and the tax system. A doctor’s financial affairs often span employment, self-employment and company structures at the same time, and advice that only looks at one element can create problems elsewhere. We review the whole picture, from how NHS and private income are reported through to how expenses, pension contributions and business profits are treated. We focus on the practical details that matter day to day, such as keeping bookkeeping simple enough to maintain, flagging expenses that are commonly overlooked, and making sure Self Assessment returns reflect every source of income correctly. For doctors running a practice or company, we handle annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT so that compliance stays under control. Where decisions are being considered, we set out the options and implications so you can choose with confidence.

FAQs

Not every doctor does, but the case for specialist support becomes stronger as your affairs become more varied. A salaried doctor with a single NHS pension and no other income may find Self Assessment manageable alone. Once you add private fees, locum sessions, consultancy work, a partnership share or a limited company, the reporting and tax treatment quickly become more involved. An accountant helps ensure all income is reported correctly, that you claim the expenses you are entitled to, and that deadlines are met without last-minute pressure.

Your NHS pay is taxed through PAYE, and your private or self-employed income is reported through Self Assessment, where the two are brought together. This can mean payments on account, adjustments if tax has been under or overpaid through PAYE, and interaction with pension contributions and other reliefs. We prepare the return so that every source is included accurately and explain what you are likely to owe so there are no surprises when the bill arrives.

Common claims include medical indemnity insurance, GMC or specialist registration fees, professional body and royal college subscriptions, genuine continuing professional development, specialist equipment and professional journals. Travel and mileage can be claimed where journeys are business related rather than ordinary commuting. The precise position depends on your employment status and individual circumstances, because employed and self-employed doctors are subject to different rules, so it is worth reviewing your spending rather than assuming you should not claim.

Yes. Locum work usually means self-employment income, which brings registration requirements, record keeping and its own expense rules. Because locum earnings can vary considerably month to month, we often look at how to manage tax set-aside, when payments on account fall due, and whether a different structure would suit your pattern of work. We also keep the bookkeeping proportionate so it fits around shifts.

Sometimes a limited company is tax-efficient, sometimes it adds cost and administration for little benefit, and sometimes it is not the right route at all. Off-payroll working rules can also affect doctors providing services through a company to certain clients. We look at your expected income, level of expenses, how you want to take money out, and your pension position before recommending anything, rather than applying a generic structure.

Many private medical services fall within the healthcare exemption, which means VAT is often not charged on them, but other activities such as certain medico-legal reports, cosmetic treatments or non-medical consultancy may be treated differently. Turnover across all your business activities is what matters for registration thresholds. If VAT applies, we handle registration, returns and record keeping so it does not become an administrative burden.

We work with doctors in Haddenham using a combination of remote communication and document sharing, which suits clinicians whose diaries shift at short notice. Records can be uploaded securely, queries handled by email or a scheduled call, and meetings arranged when a fuller discussion is useful. The service itself is the same whether we are talking through Self Assessment, practice accounts, payroll or a limited company.

Changing accountants is usually straightforward. We ask for your permission to contact your existing accountant, request professional clearance and obtain the records and information we need. We then review your prior returns and accounts, flag anything that needs attention, and confirm what is required going forward. Any work in progress is picked up so you do not lose time against upcoming deadlines.
