The technical skills overlap, but the context is different. A healthcare-focused accountant is used to NHS contract income, private patient fees, insurer payments and locum work appearing together, and understands how each is reported. They also expect healthcare-specific costs such as professional registration fees, indemnity insurance, CPD and specialist equipment. On the business side, that includes VAT partial exemption for practices mixing exempt healthcare with standard-rated supplies, payroll for clinical teams and locums, and, for GP partners, the pension information that feeds NHS pension records. It means fewer explanations from you and more relevant advice.
You can file your own Self Assessment return, but locum and self-employed work brings complications that are easy to get wrong: irregular income spread across several engagers, allowable expenses you may not realise you can claim, and often a PAYE salary alongside self-employed profits. There is also the question of whether an arrangement looks like employment in practice, which can affect your tax position. An accountant can check the classification, make sure expenses are properly supported, and help you set aside the right amount for your tax bill rather than being caught short in January.
They are reported within the same tax return but need to be tracked separately so the figures are accurate and defensible. We look at how each stream is paid — salary through PAYE, practice or partnership profits, private fees, insurer settlements — and make sure nothing is duplicated or omitted. Where you are a partner in a practice, we work from the practice accounts and your profit share; where you invoice privately, we keep that income distinct. The objective is a return that reflects your real position and records that would stand up to scrutiny.
Typically, costs incurred wholly and exclusively for your work are allowable. In practice that often includes professional body and registration fees, professional indemnity insurance, CPD and mandatory training, specialist clothing such as scrubs or uniforms where they are required, clinical equipment and its maintenance, medical reference materials and subscriptions, and business mileage between sites or to patients. Some costs, such as using part of your home, need careful calculation. We review what you spend, confirm what can be claimed, and make sure the records to support it are in place.
It depends on the type of work you do and how much you earn from standard-rated supplies. Many healthcare services provided by registered professionals are exempt, which means they do not count towards the VAT registration threshold. However, cosmetic treatments, non-medical services, retail sales and product sales are usually standard rated and do count. If you mix the two, you may also need to deal with partial exemption rules, which affect how much input VAT you can recover. We can review your supplies, advise on whether registration is required and help you manage the ongoing returns.
Yes. Payroll for a practice is rarely a single straightforward arrangement. Employees on variable hours or shift patterns, salaried clinicians, pension contributions and auto-enrolment duties all need handling accurately, and locums or associates are often paid differently and may not belong on payroll at all. Getting that distinction right matters, particularly where off-payroll working rules could apply. We can take on the payroll function, produce payslips and handle the reporting to HMRC, so it is one less thing to monitor each month.
Before you commit to a structure or sign a lease, if possible. The choice between sole trader, partnership and limited company affects how you are taxed, what you can claim, how profits are drawn and what records you must keep, and changing later can be more disruptive than starting correctly. Early advice also helps with registration for the appropriate taxes, setting up bookkeeping from day one, and understanding what VAT might mean for your services. If you have already started trading, it is still worth a review — there is usually time to put things on a better footing.
We work with clients using a mix of meetings, telephone and video calls, and secure digital sharing of documents, so geography is rarely a barrier. To get started we usually ask for details of your income sources, recent tax returns or accounts, bank and bookkeeping records, and information on any employees, VAT registration or existing accountant. From there we can complete a review and explain what support would suit you. If you would prefer to meet, that can be arranged as part of the initial conversation.
