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 in Farmoor?

Doctors rarely fit into a single financial box, and their accounting needs reflect that. A salaried hospital doctor paying tax through PAYE has a very different position from a locum working through their own limited company, or a consultant building a private practice alongside NHS commitments. We support GPs, hospital doctors, consultants, locum doctors, salaried doctors, private practitioners and doctors who combine several strands of medical work at once. Some need straightforward Self Assessment support for private income and professional expenses; others need annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll or VAT returns where a practice or company structure is involved. Partners in a medical partnership and doctors with rental or investment income alongside their medical earnings also need their affairs looked at as a whole. Because tax treatment depends on your employment status, income sources, business structure and individual circumstances, we take the time to understand how you actually work 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

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.

Accounting and Tax Services for Doctors

Our accounting support is built around the way doctors earn and spend. For many doctors, Self Assessment sits at the centre of things — particularly where private medical income, locum shifts, consultancy fees, teaching, expert witness work or NHS pension income needs to be reported alongside taxed employment income. We prepare and file tax returns, review the expenses you can properly claim, and help you keep the records that support them. Where you trade through a limited company, we handle annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll, dividend documentation and Companies House filings, and advise on whether a company structure remains the right fit as your work changes. If you run or partner in a medical practice, we can prepare partnership accounts, allocate profit shares, and support the bookkeeping and reporting that keeps the practice finances clear. VAT registration and returns are relevant for some doctors — for example where private or medico-legal work crosses the registration threshold — and we can advise on whether you need to be registered and how to handle it. Alongside compliance, we provide tax planning, management accounts and business structure advice so decisions about private work, pension contributions or taking on a partner are made with the numbers in front of you.

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

Medical careers rarely follow one tidy financial path, and the tax complications tend to build up quietly over time. These are the areas doctors most often ask us about.

  • Combining NHS and private income, where PAYE has already been deducted on part of your earnings but private fees, locum work or consultancy income still need to be reported and taxed correctly through Self Assessment.
  • Managing multiple income sources at once — employment, self-employment, partnership profit shares, rental income or investment income — each with its own reporting requirements and deadlines.
  • Identifying allowable professional expenses, including medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, revalidation costs, training and continuing professional development, specialist equipment and travel between sites, while keeping personal spending clearly separate.
  • Record keeping throughout the year, since a shoebox of receipts at the filing deadline makes it harder to claim what you are entitled to and increases the risk of errors or missed relief.
  • Locum work and short-term contracts, which can mean several paymasters, inconsistent income, and uncertainty over whether you are employed or self-employed for a given engagement.
  • Deciding on the right business structure — sole trader, partnership or limited company — as private work grows, taking into account tax efficiency, administrative obligations and how you intend to work in future.
  • Pension considerations, including annual allowance questions, NHS pension scheme complexities and the interaction between pension contributions and your overall tax position.
  • Practice and partnership finances, where profit sharing, drawings, capital accounts and practice overheads need to be tracked accurately and agreed between partners.
  • Tax deadlines and payments on account, which can catch doctors out when income fluctuates, particularly in the first year of private or locum work.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke

Doctors come to us because they want an accountant who already understands the shape of a medical career. That means recognising the difference between NHS employment income and private fees, knowing why medical indemnity and professional subscriptions matter at tax time, and being comfortable with the mix of PAYE, self-employment and company reporting that many doctors accumulate. We explain things in plain language, keep you informed about deadlines well ahead of time, and make sure your records are organised enough to support the figures on your return. Whether you are a locum working through a company, a consultant with growing private income, or a GP partner with practice accounts to file, we adapt our support to your circumstances rather than forcing you into a template. Practical advice, clear communication and dependable compliance work sit at the heart of what we do.

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 Doctors

Getting the right accounting support should not add to an already busy week, so we keep the process straightforward. First, we spend time understanding your circumstances — how you are employed, whether you have NHS income, private medical income, locum work, consultancy fees or partnership profit, and what you want from your finances. Second, we review your accounting and tax requirements, looking at your current position, any outstanding returns or records, your business structure and where things could be better organised. Third, we put the appropriate support in place, whether that is preparing and filing your Self Assessment return, running bookkeeping and payroll, preparing annual accounts and Corporation Tax computations, or putting a tax planning approach together for the year ahead. From there we keep reviewing things as your work changes.

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 work apart is the way we treat a doctor’s finances as a whole rather than as a series of separate filings. Multiple income streams, professional expenses, pension implications and business structure decisions all interact, and looking at them together usually produces better answers than looking at each in isolation. We take time to understand how your NHS work, private practice, locum shifts or consultancy income fit together, then build the bookkeeping, Self Assessment, accounts, payroll and VAT support around that reality. For doctors running a company or in partnership, we handle the statutory obligations and explain what the numbers mean, so decisions about drawings, profit shares or restructuring are informed rather than reactive. And where your situation changes — a new private contract, a move into partnership, a change in working pattern — we adapt the advice accordingly.

FAQs

It depends on your circumstances. If all your income is taxed through PAYE, you may only need occasional advice. But once you have private medical income, locum work, consultancy fees, partnership profit, rental income or director earnings, Self Assessment and record-keeping obligations generally apply, and errors can be costly to correct. An accountant helps you report the right figures, claim the expenses you are entitled to and keep on top of deadlines. If your affairs are straightforward, we will tell you that too.

Your NHS salary is normally taxed through PAYE, but private fees, locum income and consultancy earnings still need to be reported through Self Assessment. Because PAYE has already used part of your personal allowance against your employment income, the untaxed income is usually taxed at your higher marginal rate, and payments on account can apply. Getting the reporting right — and planning for the tax bill in advance — is where good advice makes a practical difference.

Commonly claimed items include medical indemnity insurance, professional body and royal college subscriptions, revalidation and continuing professional development costs, specialist equipment needed for your work, and travel to temporary or temporary-at-the-time engagements. The precise treatment depends on whether you are employed or self-employed, and on the nature of the cost. We review your spending and advise on what can properly be claimed, so your return is accurate rather than optimistic.

There is no single answer, and it depends on your income level, how you contract with agencies and practices, your plans for the future and how much administrative work you are willing to take on. Running a company can suit some locums and not others, and the rules around employment status and IR35 have made this more nuanced. We look at your specific arrangements before recommending a structure.

Yes. Partnership accounting involves allocating profit shares, tracking capital and current accounts, dealing with drawings, and preparing the partnership return as well as each partner's own Self Assessment. We can prepare the accounts, handle the reporting obligations and help the practice partners understand how profits and tax liabilities are split between them.

Not all doctors do. VAT registration depends on whether your taxable turnover for the relevant work crosses the registration threshold, and some medical services are exempt. Where registration applies, we can handle the application, prepare and submit returns, and advise on how VAT interacts with your overall income. It is worth reviewing if your private or medico-legal work is growing.

We can set up a bookkeeping routine that groups income and expenses by source — NHS employment, private fees, locum work, consultancy, partnership profit — so nothing is missed at year end. Digital records, clear categorisation and periodic reviews make Self Assessment far less painful, and give you a clearer picture of how your income is actually performing across the year.

Yes. Much of the work is done through secure document sharing, digital records and remote communication, which suits doctors working full days or rotating between sites. If you already have an accountant, we can usually manage the transition by contacting them for your records and professional clearance. We will explain what we need from you and when, so the handover is orderly.
