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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

The core work is the same as any accountant – accounts, tax returns, payroll, VAT – but the detail is different. Healthcare clients commonly have NHS income, private fees, locum payments and pension figures that all need to be reported accurately and in the right place. They also deal with exempt and standard-rated VAT services, professional indemnity and registration costs, and practice structures that may include partners or associate contracts. A specialist approach means these features are recognised from the outset rather than discovered during a review.
It suits self-employed and employed healthcare professionals as well as healthcare businesses. That includes locum and salaried GPs, consultants with private practice income, dentists and dental associates, pharmacists, physiotherapists and other allied health professionals, nurses and carers working independently, and practitioners such as counsellors, podiatrists and optometrists. On the business side, it covers GP and dental practices, private clinics, pharmacies and allied health companies, particularly those employing staff or registered for VAT.
Yes, and it is one of the most common situations we deal with. NHS salary, pension contributions and any private fees or locum earnings all need to be reflected correctly on your Self Assessment return, and the interaction between them affects your overall tax position. We collect the relevant documentation, reconcile the figures, and make sure reliefs and expenses are applied where they are genuinely due, rather than leaving you to work it out from a pile of payslips and invoices.
It is not a legal requirement, but it is usually worthwhile. Locum and associate work often involves several income sources, irregular payment dates and expenses that are easy to overlook, such as travel between sites, indemnity cover, registration fees and equipment. An accountant helps you claim what you are entitled to, avoids errors that can trigger HMRC enquiries, and gives you a clearer view of your effective earnings after tax.
Broadly, costs that are incurred wholly and exclusively for your work. In practice this often includes professional body and registration fees, professional indemnity insurance, specialist equipment and uniforms, clinical reference materials and approved training, and travel between temporary workplaces. Items with a private element, such as a home office or a vehicle, need apportioning carefully. We review your outgoings and advise on what can be claimed and what evidence you should retain.
It depends on what you provide and your turnover. Many healthcare services are exempt from VAT, but others – including some cosmetic treatments, non-medical services and certain goods – are standard-rated, and a single practice can have a mix of both. Once taxable turnover passes the registration threshold, registration is compulsory. We can review your services line by line, confirm whether registration is required, and handle returns and record keeping if it is.
Yes. We can manage payroll for clinical, nursing, reception and administrative staff, including pension auto-enrolment, statutory payments and starter or leaver processing, and produce payslips on a regular schedule. On bookkeeping, we can work with your existing records or set up a cloud accounting system, keeping income and costs organised throughout the year so accounts preparation is quicker and you have figures available whenever you need them.
It begins with a conversation about how you work and what you need. We then review your current position – recent returns, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT status and upcoming deadlines – and set out what we would recommend. Once agreed, we handle the practical setup, confirm the key dates that apply to you, and become your point of contact for accounting and tax questions as they arise.
