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 audience when it comes to accounting, and the right approach depends heavily on how you work and where your income comes from. We support GPs and GP partners, hospital doctors and consultants, locum doctors moving between placements, salaried doctors with additional private work, private practitioners running their own clinics, and doctors who combine NHS employment with private or medico-legal income. A salaried doctor with one employer may only need a straightforward Self Assessment covering professional subscriptions and medical indemnity, while a locum working through several agencies, or a consultant with a private practice alongside an NHS post, may face far more complex questions around record keeping, expenses, pension contributions and business structure. Some doctors operate as sole traders, others through a partnership or a limited company, and each structure carries its own accounting, tax and reporting obligations. Because treatment depends on your employment status, income sources and individual circumstances, we take the time to understand your particular mix of work before recommending anything.

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

Accounting support for consultants managing NHS employment, private practice income, professional expenses and tax obligations.

Locum Doctors

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.

Our Accounting Services for Doctors

Our accounting support is built around the way doctors actually earn. That often starts with Self Assessment, where NHS pay, private fees, locum income and consultancy earnings all need to be brought together accurately and reported on time. Alongside that, we can help with bookkeeping and record keeping that keeps private practice income and expenses in order, annual accounts and tax returns for sole traders, partnerships and limited companies, Corporation Tax where you trade through a company, payroll for practice staff or for your own salary and dividends, and VAT registration and returns where your private or consultancy income makes that relevant. Doctors with a private practice often need more than compliance, so we also cover management accounts, business structure advice, partnership accounts and financial reporting, plus tax planning that considers pension contributions, capital expenditure on equipment, and the timing of income and expenses. If you are weighing up whether to move from sole trader to a limited company, or how to separate NHS and private income cleanly in your records, that is exactly the sort of practical question we work through with clients.

Self Assessment Tax Returns

Preparation and support for doctors with employment, locum, private practice or other taxable income.

NHS & Private Income

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 carry a level of financial complexity that is not obvious from the outside. A single tax year can include PAYE employment, self-employed private work, pension arrangements and a long list of professional costs, all of which need to be captured correctly.

  • Multiple income sources arriving at different times of year, from NHS payroll, private fees, locum agencies and consultancy work, which makes it easy for something to be missed at Self Assessment.
  • Separating NHS employment income from self-employed private or medico-legal income so that each is reported under the correct rules rather than being blended together.
  • Identifying allowable professional expenses, including medical indemnity, professional subscriptions, training and continuing professional development, equipment and mileage, and understanding which costs genuinely qualify.
  • Travel and mileage claims, particularly for locum doctors working across several sites, where the distinction between ordinary commuting and business travel can affect what can be claimed.
  • Pension considerations, since NHS pension arrangements and any additional private pension contributions interact with tax in ways that are easy to overlook.
  • Choosing and maintaining an appropriate business structure, whether that is sole trader, partnership or a limited company, and understanding how the choice affects tax, administration and flexibility.
  • Partnership and practice finances, where profit shares, drawings, capital accounts and practice overheads need careful handling and clear agreement between partners.
  • Record keeping and deadlines, as busy clinical schedules leave little time for filing receipts, reconciling bank accounts or preparing for Self Assessment and company filing dates.
  • Cash flow and tax planning, because irregular private income and large one-off tax bills can be difficult to plan for without a clear view of the year ahead.

Why Doctors Choose CruseBurke

Doctors choose us because they want an accountant who recognises the shape of medical income rather than treating them like any other self-employed client. That means understanding how NHS pay, private fees, locum work and consultancy income fit together, and knowing which professional costs, such as medical indemnity and professional subscriptions, are worth reviewing each year. It also means clear communication in plain language, with advice that fits around clinical rotas and unpredictable working patterns rather than adding to the pressure. We keep your financial records organised, help you stay on top of Self Assessment and other filing obligations, and explain the reasoning behind our recommendations so you can make informed decisions. Whether you are employed, self-employed, in a partnership or running a limited company, the support is shaped around your circumstances, and we are happy to work with doctors who prefer to handle everything remotely as well as those who value a conversation when something needs explaining.

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.

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

Getting proper accounting support in place should not be complicated. First, we start with a conversation about how you work: your NHS post, private practice, locum placements, consultancy work or any combination of these, along with your current business structure and how your records are kept. Second, we review your accounting and tax position, looking at your income sources, existing returns, allowable expenses, pension arrangements and any deadlines coming up, and we explain what needs attention and why. Third, we put the right support in place, whether that is taking over your Self Assessment, setting up bookkeeping for private income, preparing annual accounts, or advising on structure and tax planning, then agree how and when we will keep in touch through the year.

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 us apart is the way we connect the technical side of accounting to the realities of medical work. We do not assume every doctor has the same circumstances, because a locum working through an agency, a GP partner sharing practice profits and a consultant with a private practice each face different reporting obligations and planning questions. We look at the whole picture: how your income is structured, whether your expenses are being claimed appropriately, whether your bookkeeping gives you useful information rather than just a pile of receipts, and whether your current structure still suits the way you work. From Self Assessment and annual accounts to VAT, payroll, Corporation Tax and partnership accounts, our aim is to make compliance straightforward while giving you practical advice you can act on, explained clearly and without jargon.

Technology Driven

We use Xero, Quickbooks, Sage & many other online software.

Dedicated Medical Accountant

Meet, call or email the same qualified accountant who knows your practice and your pension position.

Unlimited Support

FAQs

Not every doctor does, but many benefit from one. If you are employed on a single NHS contract and your tax affairs are simple, your position may be manageable alone. Once you add private fees, locum income, consultancy work, a partnership share or a limited company, the reporting becomes more involved, and the cost of getting it wrong usually outweighs the cost of advice. An accountant can also review whether you are claiming the professional expenses you are entitled to.

Your NHS pay is taxed through PAYE, but if you also have self-employed private or medico-legal income, that usually needs to be reported through Self Assessment. The two income streams are treated differently, so keeping them clearly separated in your records matters. Your overall tax position depends on your total income, which is why accuracy across both sources is important.

Common examples include medical indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, certain training and continuing professional development costs, specialist equipment and business mileage. Whether a particular cost qualifies depends on your employment status and the reason for the expense, and the rules differ between employed and self-employed work. It is worth reviewing your costs each year rather than assuming the same treatment applies indefinitely.

Locum work usually means self-employment, so you will generally need to report your income through Self Assessment and may be able to claim expenses relating to travel between assignments. The distinction between ordinary commuting and travel in the course of your work can be subtle, and getting it wrong can affect your tax position, so it is worth discussing your specific pattern of work.

It depends. A limited company can suit some doctors with substantial private or consultancy income, but it brings additional obligations such as annual accounts, confirmation statements and Corporation Tax, and it does not suit every working arrangement. The right answer depends on your income levels, your NHS position, your pension arrangements and your plans. We can talk through the advantages and drawbacks before you commit.

Yes. GP partners and doctors in other practice partnerships need accounts that allocate profits correctly between partners, along with support on drawings, capital accounts and the tax consequences for each partner individually. Clear partnership accounts also help avoid disagreements later, particularly when profit shares or practice arrangements change.

Absolutely. Many doctors prefer to handle their accounting digitally because of clinical schedules, and documents can be shared securely online. We are equally happy to talk things through when a decision needs more discussion, so the way we work can be adapted to whatever suits you best.

It is usually more straightforward than people expect. We ask for details of your current position, contact your existing accountant for the relevant records and professional clearance, and take over the filings that are due. Once everything is in place, we confirm what we will handle and when, so there is no gap in your compliance.
