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 We Support With Specialist Accounting

Doctors rarely fit a single financial template. A salaried hospital doctor on PAYE has a very different accounting position from a GP partner in a practice, a consultant running a private clinic, or a locum who invoices several different NHS trusts and private providers in the same year. We support GPs, hospital doctors, consultants, locum doctors, salaried doctors, private practitioners and doctors who combine NHS work with private or medico-legal income. Your accounting needs can depend on how your income is taxed, whether you are employed, self-employed or both, whether you work through a partnership or a limited company, and how much of your earnings arrive gross rather than taxed at source. Because of that, the advice that suits one doctor may be unsuitable for another, and we take the time to understand your particular arrangements before recommending an approach.

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.

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 and Tax Services for Doctors

The services that matter most tend to be those that keep your tax position accurate and your paperwork under control, whatever combination of NHS and private work you do. For doctors with untaxed income — locum sessions, private consultations, medico-legal reports, or partnership profits — Self Assessment and accurate tax returns sit at the heart of what we do, including calculating your liability, claiming the professional expenses you are entitled to, and filing on time. Where you run a private practice or consultancy, we can prepare annual accounts, maintain bookkeeping, and handle Corporation Tax and statutory filing if you trade through a limited company. For practices and partnerships, we can look after partnership accounts and profit allocation. Where you employ staff, whether in a private clinic or a practice, payroll support helps keep salaries, deductions and reporting in order, and VAT registration and returns may be relevant if your private income crosses the registration threshold or you provide services that fall within scope. Alongside compliance, we offer management accounts, business structure advice on whether to operate as a sole trader, partner or limited company, and forward-looking tax planning around your income mix. Not every service applies to every doctor, so we focus on the ones that genuinely fit your circumstances.

Self Assessment Tax Returns

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

Accurate records built around the way GP practices, partnerships and locum doctors actually work, with cloud software set up for you.

Tax Planning for Doctors & Consultants

Incorporation reviews for private practice, profit extraction, capital allowances and timing of income to keep your effective tax rate down.

Locum Tax & IR35 Support

Contract and IR35 status reviews, limited company versus sole trader comparisons and expense claims for locums working across multiple trusts.

Accounting and Tax Challenges Doctors Commonly Face

Doctors often carry financial complexity that a standard personal tax return does not really cater for. These are some of the areas where specialist support tends to make the biggest difference.

  • Multiple income sources taxed in different ways. NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, while locum fees, private practice receipts and consultancy income may not be, so a single tax return has to reconcile figures that arrive from several directions.
  • Keeping on top of Self Assessment. Registration, record keeping and filing deadlines apply to untaxed income, and it is easy to lose track during a busy clinical rota.
  • Identifying allowable professional expenses. Medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions such as GMC or royal college fees, compulsory training, and necessary equipment may be claimable, but only where the expense is genuinely incurred for your work.
  • Travel and mileage records. The rules distinguish between ordinary commuting and travel to temporary or temporary workplace locations, which matters for doctors moving between sites, trusts and practices.
  • Pension considerations. NHS pension contributions, annual allowance questions and private pension arrangements can interact with your taxable income in ways that benefit from careful review.
  • Record keeping across the year. Receipts, invoices, bank statements and expense evidence need to be organised well before your return is due.
  • Working out the right business structure. Moving from locum work to a private practice, or taking on a partnership role, can change whether a limited company or another structure is appropriate.
  • Partnership and practice finances. GP partners and consultants in shared practices have to deal with profit shares, drawings and capital accounts, not simply a salary.
  • Cash flow and payment on account. Self-employed doctors may need to budget for tax payments spread across the year rather than a single annual bill.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke for Accounting Support

CruseBurke works with doctors who need someone who understands the shape of a medical career, not just a generic tax return. We take time to map out where your income comes from, how each source is taxed, and what that means for your returns, your records and your planning. You get clear explanations rather than jargon, practical guidance on the expenses and reliefs that may apply to you, and support that keeps your compliance obligations organised throughout the year rather than crammed into a last-minute panic. Whether you are a locum juggling several engagements, a salaried doctor with a small private income, or a partner in a practice, we aim to give you advice that reflects your actual working arrangements and adapts as those arrangements change.

Healthcare Focus

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

Every Allowable Expense Claimed

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

NHS Pension Specialists

We calculate your pension input amount, check tapering and advise on Scheme Pays before a charge becomes a problem.

IR35 & Locum Confidence

Status reviews on your engagements and a clear answer on limited company versus sole trader for your circumstances.

Deadlines Handled for You

Returns, accounts and payroll filed on time, with reminders well in advance so penalties never happen.

Fair, Fixed Fees

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

Our Simple 3-Step Process for Getting Started

Getting the right accounting support in place does not need to be complicated. In the first step we spend time understanding your circumstances — your employment status, whether you have NHS income, private income, locum work, consultancy income or a practice interest, and how those sources are currently taxed. In the second step we review your accounting and tax position, looking at your existing records, previous returns, business structure and compliance deadlines to identify what needs attention and where your reporting could be improved. In the third step we put an appropriate level of support in place, covering the services that suit your situation, from Self Assessment and bookkeeping through to annual accounts, payroll or tax planning, and agree how and when information will be shared with us. The aim is a process that fits around clinical commitments rather than adding to them.

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 treat a tax return as an isolated event. Doctors frequently hold income streams that straddle employment and self-employment, claim a distinctive set of professional expenses, and face timing issues around pension contributions and partnership profits. We work through those details methodically, keeping bookkeeping and records in a form that supports accurate Self Assessment, advising on business structures when your circumstances change, and explaining the tax consequences of decisions before you make them. Just as importantly, we recognise that no two doctors are in the same position, so the level of support and the advice itself are shaped around your individual arrangements rather than applied from a template.

Technology Driven

We use Xero, Quickbooks, Sage & many other online software.

Dedicated Medical Accountant

Meet, call or email the same qualified accountant who knows your practice and your pension position.

Unlimited Support

Free telephone & email support
throughout the year.

FAQs

It depends on your circumstances. If all of your income is taxed through PAYE and you have no other complications, you may manage without one. Many doctors, however, have untaxed income such as locum fees, private practice receipts or consultancy work, which brings Self Assessment, record keeping and expense claims into play. Others need help with partnership accounts, a limited company, payroll or pension questions. An accountant is generally most valuable where there is complexity to manage or where you would rather not carry the compliance burden yourself.

Yes. This is one of the most common situations we deal with. NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, while private and locum income often is not, so all of it has to be reported together on your tax return. We gather the figures from your payslips, invoices and any other records, check that the PAYE already deducted is correctly accounted for, and calculate the tax due on the remainder.

There are several categories commonly claimed, including medical indemnity insurance, professional body and registration subscriptions, compulsory training and continuing professional development, and equipment needed for your work. Travel and mileage may also be claimable depending on whether the journey counts as ordinary commuting. What you can claim depends on your employment status and the nature of the expense, so it is worth having your specific costs reviewed rather than assuming a standard list applies.

It can. Locum work frequently means invoicing multiple NHS trusts or private providers, each with their own payment timetable and paperwork, and the income is usually untaxed at source. That makes accurate bookkeeping and a properly prepared Self Assessment important. It can also raise questions about whether your engagements are treated as self-employment, and about travel between sites, so it is worth discussing your pattern of work rather than treating every booking in the same way.

There is no universal answer. Operating through a limited company can suit some doctors running a private practice or consultancy, while others are better served as a sole trader or within a partnership. The right structure depends on your level of profit, how you take money out, your pension position and your long-term plans. We look at those factors together before recommending anything.

Indemnity cover and professional subscriptions connected to your work are typically among the expenses doctors look at when preparing a return, alongside registration and college fees. Whether they are relievable can depend on the nature of the cost and on whether you are employed or self-employed, so they are best reviewed in the context of your overall income and role rather than claimed automatically.

Yes. Most of what we need can be handled without you attending in person, using secure digital sharing of documents and records. We can also discuss your circumstances by phone or video call at a time that fits around clinics and rotas. If you prefer to deal with your accountant in person, that can be arranged as part of the way we work with you.

It is usually more straightforward than doctors expect. We ask for details of your current position, including your income sources, business structure and any outstanding filings, then contact your existing accountant to request the relevant records and professional clearance. Once everything is transferred we review your file, confirm the compliance position and agree how we will work together going forward.
