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?

Accounting support for doctors is not a one-size-fits-all service, because the underlying tax position changes considerably depending on how you are paid and how your work is structured. A salaried hospital doctor on PAYE with occasional private work has a very different set of obligations to a full-time locum invoicing multiple trusts, or a GP partner with a share of practice profits. We support doctors across the profession, including GPs, hospital doctors at all grades, consultants with private practice, locum doctors, salaried doctors, private practitioners, and those who combine NHS employment with private or medico-legal income. Your needs may also depend on whether you operate as a sole trader, through a partnership, or via a limited company, and on whether you have VAT-registered private income, pension contributions to track, or expenses such as medical indemnity, professional subscriptions, training and equipment to claim. Because of this, we look at your individual circumstances — employment status, income sources, business structure and professional activities — before recommending an approach, rather than applying the same template to every doctor.

Our Accounting Services for Doctors

CruseBurke provides accounting and tax services shaped around the realities of medical work. For doctors with NHS employment alongside private or locum income, that often means preparing and filing Self Assessment tax returns that correctly report each income stream, calculating the tax due and identifying allowable professional expenses. Where private practice or locum work has grown, we can assist with bookkeeping, invoicing and management accounts, so you have a clear picture of profitability rather than a shoebox of receipts. Doctors working through a limited company may need annual accounts, Corporation Tax computations, payroll for themselves and any staff, and VAT returns where registration applies. Those in a partnership — such as a GP practice — may need partnership accounts, profit allocation and support with the associated tax returns for each partner. Alongside compliance, we provide tax planning and business structure advice, looking at whether your current arrangement still suits your circumstances and how pension contributions, equipment purchases, mileage and professional costs are treated. We also help with financial reporting, so lenders, insurers and professional advisers can rely on the figures you present.

Accounting and Tax Challenges Doctors Commonly Face

Medical careers rarely follow a single, tidy income path, and the resulting tax position can become complicated quickly. These are some of the areas where doctors most often benefit from specialist accounting support.

  • Multiple income sources under one Self Assessment return. NHS salary, private fees, locum payments and consultancy income are taxed together, and PAYE already collected on employment income must be reconciled correctly against the final liability so you do not overpay or underpay.
  • Identifying allowable professional expenses. Medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college subscriptions, specialist equipment, professional development courses and travel between sites can all be relevant, but only where they meet HMRC's rules and relate to the right income source.
  • Keeping records that stand up to scrutiny. Receipts, mileage logs, invoices and bank statements need to be retained and organised, especially where income is spread across several paymasters and platforms.
  • Tax deadlines and payments on account. Self Assessment brings filing and payment deadlines, and doctors with significant private income may find themselves making payments on account that need to be planned for rather than absorbed as a surprise.
  • Choosing the right business structure. Whether locum or private work is best carried out as a sole trader, through a partnership or via a limited company depends on income levels, risk, pension position and personal circumstances — and the answer can change over time.
  • Pension and annual allowance considerations. NHS pension benefits, added years, additional contributions and private pension arrangements can interact with tax in ways that deserve careful review, particularly for higher earners.
  • Partnership and practice finances. GP partners and others in partnership arrangements need accurate profit allocation, capital account tracking and clear partnership accounts to support both tax reporting and decisions about the practice.
  • VAT on private and medico-legal work. Where private fees, cosmetic work or medico-legal reports are involved, VAT registration and treatment may need to be considered separately from NHS income.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke

Doctors choose an accountant because they want someone who understands the shape of a medical career, not just the mechanics of a tax return. CruseBurke works with the tax and accounting issues that arise from NHS income, private practice, locum work and consultancy, and we explain the position in plain language rather than jargon. Practically, that means keeping your records in order, making sure Self Assessment and any company or VAT filings are prepared accurately and on time, and highlighting the allowable expenses that genuinely apply to your circumstances. We also recognise that doctors work long, unpredictable hours, so we aim to make the process straightforward — gathering information efficiently, responding clearly to questions, and providing advice that fits the way you earn. Where your situation changes, whether that is a move between roles, a new private clinic, a partnership opportunity or a change in structure, we can review the accounting and tax implications with you and adjust the support accordingly. Nothing is assumed; the advice follows your circumstances.

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.

Our Simple 3-Step Process for Getting Started

Getting the right accounting support in place does not need to be time-consuming. First, we take the time to understand your circumstances — how you are employed, whether you have NHS income, private fees, locum shifts, consultancy or medico-legal work, and how your income is currently recorded. Second, we review your accounting and tax requirements, including any existing Self Assessment position, bookkeeping arrangements, business structure, VAT status and pension considerations, so we can identify what needs attention and where improvements are possible. Third, we put appropriate support in place, agreeing who does what, how records will be shared and when filings will be prepared. From there, we keep things running and stay in touch as your work evolves, so your accounting keeps pace with your career.

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 CruseBurke apart is the way we approach medical income as a whole rather than treating each piece in isolation. NHS pay, private fees, locum invoices and consultancy income all affect your overall tax position, and understanding how they interact is central to accurate reporting and sensible planning. We look at the detail: which professional expenses are genuinely claimable, how medical indemnity and subscriptions should be recorded, how equipment and mileage are treated, and how pension contributions affect your position. For doctors in private practice or a limited company, we handle bookkeeping, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT where they apply; for partners, we prepare partnership accounts and the associated returns. The aim is practical, well-organised accounting that supports good decisions — from setting aside the right amount for tax, to understanding whether your current structure still suits you. We communicate clearly, work around clinical schedules, and give you a straight answer when you ask a question.

FAQs

Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. If you are purely salaried with standard PAYE and no additional income, your tax affairs may be straightforward. Once private fees, locum work, consultancy, medico-legal income, partnership profits or a limited company are involved, the position becomes more complex. An accountant can confirm that all income is reported correctly, identify allowable expenses you may be missing, and keep filings and deadlines on track.

Yes. Doctors with NHS employment plus private or locum income must report all sources through Self Assessment, and the PAYE already deducted from employment income needs to be reconciled against the final liability. We prepare the return, calculate the tax position across each income stream, and help you plan for any payments on account that follow.

Commonly claimed items include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college or specialist society subscriptions, professional development and training relevant to your existing work, specialist equipment, and business travel or mileage. What you can claim depends on the rules and on which income source the cost relates to, so we review each item rather than applying a blanket list.

Locum work is often carried out as a sole trader, but a limited company can be worth considering as income grows, depending on your wider circumstances, pension position and attitude to administration. We look at your total picture — locum income, any NHS employment, private work and future plans — before recommending a structure, and can handle the accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT if a company is appropriate.

VAT treatment depends on the nature of the services and whether your turnover reaches the registration threshold. Some medical services are exempt, while others, such as certain cosmetic procedures or medico-legal reports, may not be. We can review what you provide and advise on whether registration is required and how it should be handled.

We set up a simple, workable system for recording income and expenses, whether that is spreadsheets, cloud software or a bookkeeping service we manage for you. The aim is to keep private fees, locum invoices and consultancy income clearly separated from personal spending, so your accounts and tax returns are accurate and your records are ready if HMRC asks questions.

Yes. Most of the information we need can be shared securely online, and meetings can be arranged by phone or video at times that fit around clinics and on-call commitments. Many doctors prefer this approach because it avoids travel and makes it easier to fit accounting admin around a demanding rota.

It is usually straightforward. Once you decide to move, we contact your existing accountant for the necessary records and professional clearance, review your previous filings and accounts, and take over the ongoing work. If there are outstanding returns or deadlines approaching, we will tell you at the outset so nothing is missed during the transition.
