It depends on your circumstances. If all of your income is taxed through PAYE and you have straightforward tax affairs, you may not need ongoing accounting support. However, many doctors find they benefit once their position becomes more layered — for example, when they take on locum shifts, start private or consultancy work, receive income from multiple sources, or need to complete a Self Assessment tax return. An accountant can help confirm which expenses you can claim, make sure every income source is reported correctly, and keep deadlines on track. It is also worth reviewing your arrangements after a change in role, such as moving from a salaried post into private practice.
In most cases your NHS salary is taxed through PAYE, and HMRC already holds that information. Private fees, locum income, consultancy earnings and similar sources generally need to be reported through Self Assessment, alongside your employed income, so that the overall tax position is calculated correctly. The practical challenge is usually record keeping: invoices, fee statements and expenses need to be recorded accurately and allocated to the right tax year. If tax has already been deducted at source on some of your income, that should be accounted for too. Because the treatment depends on how the income arises and whether you are employed or self-employed for each element, it is worth having the position reviewed rather than assuming a standard approach.
Commonly claimed costs include medical indemnity, professional body and registration fees, required professional training and development, specialist publications, and equipment used for your work, along with travel between work locations where the journey qualifies as business travel. The important principle is that a cost must relate to your professional work and be incurred for that purpose, so the details matter — a subscription used only partly for work, or travel that is really an ordinary commute, will be treated differently. Exact treatment also depends on whether you are employed or self-employed for that particular income. We review your expenditure and advise on what is supportable, rather than applying a blanket list.
Yes. Locum income often arrives from several agencies, trusts or practices, sometimes with tax deducted at source and sometimes without, and it may be reported alongside employment income on the same return. We help consolidate those income streams, check that any deductions have been properly accounted for, and identify the associated costs — such as travel to temporary placements, indemnity cover and administrative support — that may be claimable. Keeping a simple record of shifts, invoices and expenses as you go makes a significant difference to accuracy at the end of the year.
There is no single answer, because it depends on your level of income, your appetite for administrative obligations, whether you work alone or with colleagues, and how you want to draw money from the practice. Sole trader and partnership structures are generally simpler to run and to administer, while a limited company can suit certain circumstances but brings additional filing, payroll and Corporation Tax responsibilities. Many doctors also hold a mix of employed and self-employed work, which affects how each part should be structured. We look at your specific situation and explain the practical trade-offs before you commit to a change.
VAT registration depends on the value of your taxable turnover and on the nature of the services you provide. Some medical services are exempt from VAT, which can affect whether registration is required or advantageous, and the position can be different where you supply non-clinical services or sell goods. It is not an area to guess at, particularly if your private work is growing. We review what you supply and advise accordingly, and if registration is appropriate we can handle the returns and record keeping.
Remote working is entirely practical for the vast majority of accounting work. Documents, records and correspondence can be shared securely online, and meetings can take place by phone or video at times that fit around clinics and on-call rotas. Many doctors prefer this because it removes the need to travel during a working day. What matters most is that your records reach us in a usable form and that we agree a clear schedule for preparation and filing.
Changing accountants is usually a straightforward process. You let your current adviser know you are moving, and we contact them for professional clearance and the handover of your records, including prior accounts and tax returns. Timings can matter if a filing deadline is approaching, so it is generally better to begin the process outside a peak period where possible. Once we have your information, we review the position, confirm what needs doing and when, and agree how we will work together going forward. You do not need to wait until the end of a tax year to make a change.
