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 With Accounting and Tax?

Accounting support for doctors is rarely a single, fixed service, because no two medical careers look quite the same. We work with GPs, including those in partnerships and those working as salaried or locum GPs, as well as hospital doctors and consultants at various stages of training and seniority. We also support private practitioners running their own clinics, doctors holding a substantive NHS post alongside private or medico-legal work, and doctors who combine locum shifts across several providers with teaching, research or consultancy income. The accounting and tax questions differ in each case. A salaried doctor may need help with Self Assessment covering modest private income and professional expenses, while a GP partner needs support with partnership accounts, profit shares and drawings. A locum may be juggling several payrolls and multiple tax codes, and a doctor operating through a limited company faces questions around remuneration, Corporation Tax and VAT. Because tax treatment depends on employment status, income sources, business structure and individual circumstances, we take the time to understand your position before recommending anything, and we explain the reasoning behind each option so you can make informed decisions.

Accounting and Tax Services for Doctors

Our services are shaped around the financial life of a working doctor. Self Assessment and personal tax returns sit at the centre of what many doctors need, particularly where NHS income is combined with private fees, locum earnings or consultancy work. We prepare and review returns, bring together income from multiple sources, and help identify allowable professional expenses such as medical indemnity cover, professional subscriptions, training and continuing professional development, equipment and business mileage — each of which depends on whether the cost relates to employed or self-employed work. For doctors in private practice or running a clinic, we can handle bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts and financial reporting so you have a clear view of how the business is performing. Where a limited company is involved, that extends to statutory accounts, Corporation Tax returns, payroll for any staff or associates, and VAT where registration is required or beneficial. Doctors in partnership arrangements, such as GP practices, may need partnership accounts, allocation of profit shares, capital account tracking and support with drawings. Alongside compliance, we provide tax planning and business structure advice, looking at how income is earned, how it is held and what that means for your overall position — including pension considerations, which can be significant for doctors with high or variable earnings. We also help with records and systems, because accurate bookkeeping makes every other part of the process simpler.

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

Medical careers generate income in ways that standard tax software and generalist accountants often handle poorly. A few of the issues doctors tend to encounter include the following.

  • Bringing together NHS and private income. NHS pay is taxed through PAYE, while private fees, medico-legal work and some consultancy income usually are not. The two need to be combined correctly on a tax return, and the interaction between them can affect how much tax is ultimately due.
  • Managing multiple income sources. Locum doctors in particular may work through several practices, trusts or agencies in a single year, each operating its own payroll. Keeping track of every source and checking that tax codes are being applied sensibly is important, because overlapping or incorrect codes can lead to an unexpected bill or an overpayment that needs reclaiming.
  • Understanding allowable professional expenses. Medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college subscriptions, specialist equipment, courses and mileage are all potentially claimable, but the rules differ depending on whether the cost relates to employed or self-employed work. Claiming too little is common; claiming incorrectly creates risk.
  • Pension considerations. NHS pension contributions, additional voluntary contributions and private pension arrangements can all interact with tax in ways that are not always obvious, especially for doctors with higher earnings, multiple roles or fluctuating income across a career.
  • Choosing and reviewing a business structure. Whether you work as a sole trader, in a partnership or through a limited company changes how you are taxed, how you are paid and how much administration is involved. What suits one doctor may not suit another, and the right answer can change as your work evolves.
  • Keeping records organised through busy periods. Rotas, on-call commitments and irregular hours make it easy for receipts, invoices and statements to pile up unmanaged. Tidy records throughout the year make returns more accurate and reduce last-minute pressure.
  • Partnership and practice finances. GP partners and doctors in other partnership arrangements deal with profit shares, drawings, capital accounts and practice overheads, which add a layer of complexity beyond personal tax alone.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke

Doctors tend to come to us for the same reason: they want an accountant who does not need the basics explained. Understanding how NHS pay, private fees, locum income and consultancy earnings fit together — and how professional expenses such as indemnity cover and subscriptions are treated — means fewer questions about your own finances and more useful advice in return. We aim to be clear and practical in how we communicate, explaining what we need from you, what we are doing and why a particular approach may suit your circumstances better than another. Where records are concerned, we help put sensible systems in place so that bookkeeping becomes routine rather than a scramble before a deadline. On compliance, we work to keep your tax returns, accounts and filings accurate and submitted on time, whether you are a salaried doctor with a small amount of private income or someone running a practice through a partnership or limited company. And because medical careers change — training posts, partnership offers, locum periods, private practice growth — we keep the advice relevant as your circumstances move.

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

Every Allowable Expense Claimed

Our Simple 3-Step Process for Getting Started

Getting the right accounting support in place should feel straightforward, even when your income is complicated. First, we spend time understanding your circumstances: how you are employed, what income you receive, whether that includes NHS pay, private fees, locum work, consultancy earnings or a mixture, and how your work is structured. Second, we review your accounting and tax position, looking at what is already in place, what is missing and where there may be opportunities or risks — for example around professional expenses, pension contributions, record keeping or the way your income is held. Third, we agree the appropriate level of support and put it in place, covering the compliance work you need such as Self Assessment, accounts, payroll or VAT, along with ongoing advice as your circumstances develop. The aim is a clear, organised arrangement that you understand and that fits around a demanding working life.

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?

The difference lies in treating doctors as a distinct client group rather than a label added to a general accounting service. That means starting from the practical realities of medical work: income arriving from several directions, expenses that are genuinely professional in nature, and a tax position that shifts as training ends, partnerships are entered into, or private practice begins to grow. We look at the whole picture — NHS and private income, locum and consultancy earnings, professional expenses such as indemnity and subscriptions, pension contributions and the structure through which you work — and then handle the accounting requirements that follow. That can include Self Assessment and personal tax returns, bookkeeping and record keeping, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll, VAT where relevant, partnership accounts and management information. Where there is a choice to be made, such as how to structure private work or how to hold income, we explain the options and the trade-offs in plain terms so you can decide with confidence. Our focus is on accurate compliance combined with advice that is useful in practice, not generic commentary that has little to do with how you actually earn.

FAQs

Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. A doctor with a single salaried NHS post and no other income may find their tax affairs straightforward. Once private fees, locum shifts, consultancy work, partnership income or a limited company enter the picture, the position becomes more complex. A specialist accountant understands how NHS pay, private income and professional expenses interact, which reduces the risk of errors and missed claims.

Yes. NHS earnings are normally taxed through PAYE, while private fees are usually reported through Self Assessment. We bring both together, make sure all income sources are accounted for, and review the expenses you may be able to claim against each. How the two interact depends on your individual circumstances, so the treatment is reviewed rather than assumed.

Multiple engagements mean multiple payrolls, and each one can apply its own tax code. That can result in too much or too little tax being deducted across the year. We review your income as a whole, reconcile what has been deducted and prepare your return so the final position is accurate. If you work through an agency or your own limited company, the structure you use also affects how the income is treated.

Commonly considered expenses include medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college subscriptions, professional training and CPD, specialist equipment and business mileage. Whether a cost is allowable depends on factors such as whether it relates to employed or self-employed work and whether it is wholly and exclusively for the purpose of that work. We review your spending and advise on what can properly be claimed.

It depends on your circumstances. 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. Factors include the level and predictability of income, how you are paid by clients, pension implications and the additional administration involved. There is no single answer that fits every doctor, so we look at your position before recommending a structure.

Some medical services are exempt from VAT, while others are not, and the position can vary depending on the nature of the service and how it is provided. Where VAT registration applies, we handle the returns and record keeping. If you are unsure whether your private work falls within the scope of VAT, it is worth reviewing before you assume either way.

Yes. Much of the information we need can be shared securely online, and calls or video meetings work well around clinical schedules. What matters most is that records are complete and that we understand your circumstances clearly, which can be achieved whether you prefer to deal with us remotely or in person.

Changing accountants is usually a straightforward process. We ask for some details about your current arrangements, contact your existing accountant for the relevant records and handover information, and then take over the ongoing work. We can also review prior filings as part of the transition where it is useful to do so, particularly if your circumstances have changed since the last return.
