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?

Our accounting support is designed for doctors across the full range of working arrangements. That includes GPs in partnership or salaried roles, hospital doctors and consultants on NHS contracts, locum doctors moving between placements, and private practitioners running their own clinics or consulting rooms. It also includes doctors who combine NHS income with private work, those who take on medico-legal or advisory consultancy alongside clinical practice, and anyone building a portfolio of roles across different settings. The accounting picture can look very different depending on how you work. A salaried hospital doctor may have straightforward employment income with a relatively limited tax return, while a GP partner deals with partnership accounts, profit shares and practice overheads. A locum may need help with expenses, mileage and irregular income, and a private practitioner may face questions about business structure, VAT and Corporation Tax. Because of this, we take the time to understand your specific income sources, contracts, business structure and professional costs before recommending anything — there is no single template that fits every doctor.

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

Our Accounting Services for Doctors

We provide accounting and tax services tailored to the realities of medical work, whether you are employed, self-employed, in partnership or operating through a limited company. Where you have self-employed income — from locum work, private consultations, medico-legal reports or consultancy — we prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return, help you claim the professional expenses you are entitled to, and plan ahead so tax bills do not arrive as a surprise. For doctors in partnership, such as GP practices, we handle partnership accounts, profit allocation and the associated tax returns, as well as the individual returns of each partner. If you run a private practice or consultancy through a limited company, we can prepare annual accounts, file Corporation Tax returns, run payroll for you and any staff, and advise on whether a company structure genuinely suits your circumstances. Bookkeeping sits at the centre of much of this, and we can either review records you keep yourself or take on the bookkeeping entirely. Where your turnover or activities mean VAT registration applies, we manage VAT returns and help you understand what is recoverable. Alongside compliance, we offer tax planning, management accounts and financial reporting so you have useful information for decisions about pensions, practice investment, drawing levels or expanding your private work — with every recommendation based on your own circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

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

Doctors often deal with financial admin on top of demanding clinical schedules, and several recurring issues tend to cause difficulty. These are the areas we see most often.

  • Blending NHS and private income — employed income is taxed through PAYE, while private fees, locum pay and consultancy income usually need to be reported through Self Assessment. Keeping the two straight matters, because errors can lead to unexpected tax demands or unnecessary overpayment.
  • Multiple and irregular income sources — a doctor working across several locum agencies, trusts or private clients may receive income streams that vary month to month. Without clear records, it is difficult to know what you have earned, what tax has already been deducted and what remains payable.
  • Understanding allowable professional expenses — medical indemnity insurance, GMC and royal college subscriptions, professional body fees, specialist equipment, training and continuing professional development, and travel to temporary workplaces can all be relevant. Which costs qualify depends on your employment status and how the expense relates to your work, so blanket assumptions are unwise.
  • Record keeping and mileage — receipts, invoices, mileage logs and bank records need to be maintained throughout the year, not reconstructed at the deadline. Poor records are one of the most common reasons doctors overpay tax or miss legitimate claims.
  • Pension considerations — NHS pension contributions, annual allowance questions and the interaction between pension income and tax can be complex, particularly where you also have private earnings. Getting this wrong is expensive, so it deserves careful attention.
  • Choosing the right business structure — whether to work as a sole trader, in partnership or through a limited company affects how you are taxed, what you can claim and how much administration you take on. The right answer depends on your income levels, your mix of work and your longer-term plans.
  • Practice and partnership finances — GP partners and doctors running private practices deal with overheads, staff costs, drawings, profit shares and capital investment. These need accurate accounts and sensible planning, not just a year-end tax return.
  • Keeping on top of deadlines — Self Assessment filing and payment dates, VAT periods, payroll reporting deadlines and company filing obligations all fall at different times. Missing them can trigger penalties that are entirely avoidable with the right reminders in place.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke

Doctors choose CruseBurke because they want an accountant who already understands the shape of medical income and the questions that come with it. Rather than explaining your NHS payslips, locum invoices or partnership profit share from scratch every year, you work with people who deal with these arrangements as a matter of routine and can move straight to the practical issues. That means clear, jargon-free explanations of what you owe and why, proactive reminders around key deadlines, and advice framed around your actual working pattern — whether you are salaried, self-employed, in a practice partnership or running a company. We help you keep financial records organised throughout the year so the year-end process is calm rather than rushed, and we look for legitimate expenses and allowances that apply to your circumstances. Just as importantly, we do not treat every doctor the same. Your tax position depends on your income sources, contracts, structure and personal goals, and our advice reflects that. If your situation changes — a new private clinic, a move into locum work, a first partnership, or a decision about incorporating — we adjust your accounting and tax approach accordingly.

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 Getting Started

Starting with a new accountant should feel straightforward, even when your finances are not. First, we begin with a conversation about how you work — your employment arrangements, whether you have NHS income, private fees, locum work, consultancy income or a mixture, and how your records are currently kept. Second, we review your accounting and tax position, looking at existing returns, bookkeeping, business structure, expenses and upcoming deadlines, and identify anything that needs attention or could be handled better. Third, we put the right support in place, whether that means taking over your Self Assessment, running bookkeeping and VAT, preparing partnership or company accounts, or a combination suited to your circumstances and told to you clearly so you know what happens and when.

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 combine technical accounting with a genuine understanding of how doctors earn. Medical income rarely arrives in a single neat stream, and we are comfortable working with the practical detail — PAYE income alongside self-employed fees, several locum agencies, private consultation income, partnership profit shares or a limited company structure. We look closely at professional expenses that doctors frequently overlook or misclaim, including indemnity cover, professional subscriptions, training and development, equipment and travel, and we explain the reasoning so you can make informed decisions rather than simply handing over paperwork. On the compliance side, we manage Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll, VAT and bookkeeping with a focus on accuracy and meeting deadlines. Beyond compliance, we provide advice on business structures, partnership arrangements, record keeping systems and tax planning that fits your future plans. And because the right structure and tax treatment depend entirely on your individual position, we tailor recommendations rather than applying a generic template to every doctor.

FAQs

It depends on your circumstances. If you are a salaried doctor with only PAYE income and no significant expenses or additional income, your tax affairs may be straightforward enough to manage without help. However, once you have self-employed income from locum work, private practice, consultancy or medico-legal reports, or you are in a GP partnership or limited company, the position becomes considerably more involved. Self Assessment, expense claims, pension considerations and filing deadlines all carry risk of error, and an accountant can help you stay accurate and make use of the reliefs available to you.

Yes. Medical indemnity insurance, GMC registration, royal college and professional body subscriptions, specialist equipment, certain training and continuing professional development costs, and travel to temporary workplaces are all costs doctors commonly incur. Whether a particular expense is allowable depends on your employment status and how it relates to your work — employed and self-employed rules are not identical, and some costs that are deductible for self-employed income are not for employment income. We review your spending and advise on what can properly be claimed.

Your NHS salary is usually taxed through PAYE, while private fees, locum income and consultancy earnings generally need to be reported through Self Assessment. The two interact: your employed income affects the tax bands applied to your self-employed profits, and payments on account may be required. We bring the figures together, calculate what is due, and help you plan for the timing of tax bills so you are not caught out.

It can, mainly because income arrives from multiple sources and often irregularly. You may also have expenses such as travel and mileage between temporary workplaces, which need to be recorded properly to be claimed. We can help you set up a simple record-keeping routine, bring all your locum income together on one return and make sure the associated costs are treated correctly.

It depends on your level of private income, your mix of NHS and private work, your plans for the future and how you want to take money out of the business. Incorporation can suit some doctors and add unnecessary cost and administration for others, and there are tax rules that specifically affect personal service companies and IR35 to consider. We look at your individual position before recommending a structure.

Partnerships bring their own requirements: partnership accounts, allocation of profits between partners, and the individual tax returns of each partner, alongside practice bookkeeping, payroll, VAT where applicable and pension considerations. Because partners are taxed on their profit share rather than drawings, planning around tax payments matters. We can handle the partnership accounts and individual returns together so the figures are consistent.

Yes. Much of the information needed for accounts and tax returns can be shared securely online, and meetings can take place by phone or video, which suits doctors working shifts or moving between sites. Changing accountants is generally straightforward: we ask for your authorisation to contact your existing firm, obtain the necessary records, and confirm the position to HM Revenue & Customs so there is no gap in your compliance.

The first step is a conversation about how you work and what you need. We will ask about your income sources, whether you are employed, self-employed, in partnership or operating a company, how your records are currently kept and any deadlines coming up. From there we review your position and set out the accounting and tax support that fits, so you know exactly what is being handled on your behalf.
