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 are not a single group when it comes to tax and accounting, and the right approach depends heavily on how you work. We support GPs, including salaried doctors and practice partners, hospital doctors and consultants on NHS contracts, locum doctors moving between roles or trusts, salaried doctors with limited additional income, and private practitioners building their own patient base. Many doctors we speak to combine several of these at once, for example an NHS post alongside private consulting, or locum shifts alongside a training role. Their accounting needs differ accordingly: a salaried doctor may simply need a straightforward Self Assessment return covering a small amount of private income, while a private practitioner or GP partner may need annual accounts, partnership or company reporting, VAT advice and more detailed tax planning. Business structure, employment status, income sources and professional activities all influence the treatment of income, expenses and pensions, so we take the time to understand your particular position before recommending anything.

GPs

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

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 shaped around how doctors actually earn their income. That often starts with Self Assessment, where we prepare and file tax returns that bring together PAYE salary, NHS pension figures, private practice fees, locum income and consultancy earnings in one coherent picture, making sure the right expenses and reliefs are considered along the way. For doctors in private practice, partnerships or a limited company, we can prepare annual accounts, partnership accounts and Corporation Tax computations, along with management accounts if you want a clearer view of performance through the year. Bookkeeping sits at the centre of much of this work, keeping records of consultation fees, procedure income, associate or sessional payments and running costs in order, and feeding into VAT registration and VAT returns where your turnover and activities mean it is relevant. Payroll support is available for practice staff and for doctors who pay themselves through their own company, and we can advise on business structure, whether a sole trader, partnership or limited company best fits your private work, including how off-payroll and IR35 considerations may apply to certain contracts. Alongside compliance, we look at tax planning opportunities that are appropriate to your circumstances, such as pension contributions, timing of income and claiming legitimate professional expenses, so that decisions are made with the whole picture in mind rather than in isolation.

Accounting and Tax Challenges Doctors Commonly Face

Doctors often have financial affairs that look straightforward from the outside but are more layered in practice. The challenges below are the ones that come up most often, though the exact impact depends on your employment status, income sources and how your work is structured.

  • Multiple income sources arriving in different ways. NHS salary, private fees, locum shifts and consultancy work can each be taxed differently, which makes it easy to lose track of what has already been taxed and what still needs to be declared on a Self Assessment return.
  • Understanding which professional expenses are genuinely allowable. Medical indemnity cover, GMC and royal college subscriptions, specialist equipment, professional development and business travel may all be claimable, but only where there is a clear link to your work and the rules for employees and the self-employed are not identical.
  • Keeping records that stand up to scrutiny. Consultation fee statements, sessional payments, associate income, expense receipts and mileage logs need to be retained and organised, otherwise claims can be difficult to support and returns risk being inaccurate.
  • Pension considerations. NHS pension figures, annual allowance implications and private pension contributions can interact in ways that affect both your tax position and your longer-term planning, and they are easy to overlook when only the tax return is being prepared.
  • Choosing the right business structure. Whether to work as a sole trader, through a partnership or via a limited company is a decision with tax, administrative and contractual consequences, and it may look different for a locum, a private consultant or a doctor running a clinic.
  • Partnership and practice finances. GP partners and doctors in practice partnerships deal with profit shares, capital accounts, practice expenses and drawings, and the accounting requirements are considerably more detailed than for a salaried role.
  • VAT and turnover thresholds. Private medical services, cosmetic work and some advisory or medico-legal activities can push turnover towards VAT registration, and the treatment of supplies is not always intuitive.
  • Meeting tax deadlines while working full time. Clinical rotas, on-call commitments and shifting shift patterns leave little room for administration, which is why returns and payments are so easily left until the last moment.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke for Their Accounting

Doctors generally want an accountant who understands the shape of a medical career, not one who needs the basics explained each year. We take the time to learn how you earn: which income is taxed through PAYE, which needs to be declared, what you pay for indemnity and subscriptions, and what your pension position looks like. That understanding feeds directly into the tax return, the records we help you keep and the advice we give, so that your accounts reflect reality rather than a generic template. We explain things in plain language, keep you informed of what is due and when, and are happy to work around the realities of clinical life, whether that means scheduling conversations around rotas or handling everything remotely with secure document sharing. If your circumstances change, a new locum contract, a move into private practice, a partnership offer or a decision about incorporating, we can adjust your accounting and tax arrangements to match rather than starting again from scratch.

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.

IR35 & Locum Confidence

Deadlines Handled for You

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 proper accounting support in place does not need to be complicated. First, we take the time to understand your circumstances, how you are employed or self-employed, where your income comes from, whether you have NHS pension figures, private fees, locum earnings or consultancy income, and what you are already doing about records and returns. Second, we review your accounting and tax requirements, looking at what needs to be filed, what deadlines apply, where records are incomplete and whether your current structure still suits the way you work. Third, we set up the appropriate support, which might be a straightforward Self Assessment service, ongoing bookkeeping and VAT returns, annual accounts and Corporation Tax for a limited company, partnership accounts, payroll, or a combination of these, and we explain clearly what you need to provide and what happens next. From there, the aim is a predictable rhythm: records kept up to date, filings prepared in good time and advice available when a decision comes up.

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 treat a doctor’s finances as one connected picture rather than a series of separate filings. NHS pay, private fees, locum income, consultancy work and pension figures are considered together, because the way they interact often matters more than any single element. We look closely at professional expenses, including indemnity, subscriptions, training and travel, making sure legitimate claims are made and properly supported rather than assumed. We are equally comfortable with straightforward salaried cases and with more complex arrangements such as private practice, partnerships, limited companies and mixed portfolios of medical work, and we adapt the level of support accordingly. Alongside compliance work, we aim to be genuinely useful: helping you keep bookkeeping simple, understand your tax position, plan for pension contributions sensibly and decide on the right structure as your career develops.

FAQs

It depends on your circumstances. A doctor with a single salaried NHS post and no other income may have relatively little to file, although a Self Assessment return may still be needed for certain reasons. Where things get more involved, such as private practice fees, locum income, consultancy work, multiple employments or a GP partnership, an accountant can help ensure income is declared correctly, legitimate expenses are claimed and deadlines are met. It is also common for doctors to be unaware of reliefs or pension interactions that affect their position.

Your NHS salary is normally taxed through PAYE, while private fees, locum income and similar earnings usually need to be reported through Self Assessment. We bring the figures together, reconcile them with your PAYE information, account for NHS pension contributions where relevant, and include allowable expenses connected to your private or additional work. The aim is a return that reflects your full position rather than just the income that has not been taxed at source.

Yes. Locum work can be arranged in several ways: some engagements are paid through PAYE, while others involve invoicing for your services. That distinction affects how income is reported, what expenses can be claimed and whether registration for VAT becomes a consideration. We look at each arrangement individually, help you keep track of payments across multiple contracts, and make sure your returns and records are consistent with how you are actually engaged.

Common examples include medical indemnity cover, GMC and royal college subscriptions, professional development and training relevant to your existing work, specialist equipment, and business travel or mileage. Whether a cost is allowable depends on factors such as whether you are employed or self-employed, whether the expense is wholly and exclusively for your work, and whether you have already been reimbursed. We review your outgoings and confirm what can properly be claimed rather than applying a blanket list.

There is no single answer. A limited company can suit some doctors with substantial private or consultancy income, while others are better served as a sole trader or through a partnership. Contractual arrangements matter too, particularly where off-payroll working rules may apply to engagements with NHS bodies or other organisations. We can review your income levels, contracts and personal circumstances and explain the practical and tax implications of each option before you commit to a structure.

GP partners typically need partnership accounts, profit share calculations, capital account records and individual tax returns that reflect partnership income alongside any other earnings. Practice-level matters such as expenses, drawings and pension contributions also come into play. We prepare the relevant accounts and returns, and can work alongside practice managers or existing bookkeeping arrangements so the information flows accurately into your personal tax position.

Yes. Many doctors prefer to handle everything remotely, and we can work through secure document sharing, email and calls arranged around your rota. If you are moving from another accountant, we can contact them for the information we need, subject to your authorisation, and take over the ongoing filings and records with as little disruption as possible. It helps to have your most recent accounts, returns and bookkeeping records available, but we can guide you through what is needed.

Typically we ask for details of your employment and self-employment, recent payslips or P60 information, any NHS pension statements, records of private or locum income, expense receipts and mileage logs, and copies of previous accounts or tax returns if you have them. If some records are missing or disorganised, that is not a barrier; part of the initial review is working out what needs to be reconstructed or improved going forward.
