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.

Healthcare Professionals and Medical Businesses We Support

Our healthcare accounting work covers a broad range of clinicians and healthcare businesses, because the financial issues they face differ enormously from one setting to the next. We support GPs and salaried doctors, hospital consultants with private practice income, locum doctors, dentists and dental hygienists, pharmacists and pharmacy owners, nurses and nurse practitioners, allied health professionals such as physiotherapists, podiatrists and dietitians, psychologists and talking therapists, optometrists, and independent social care providers. Alongside individuals, we work with private clinics, GP practices, dental practices and multi-clinician healthcare businesses. The accounting needs behind these vary just as much: a locum may need help untangling PAYE income from private fees on a tax return, while a practice owner may need support with payroll for a mixed clinical and administrative team, VAT treatment on different types of treatment, or deciding whether a partnership or limited company structure makes more sense. Others simply want reliable bookkeeping, management accounts and reassurance that deadlines are being met.

Supporting independent practitioners with tax planning and NHS pension advice.

Offering tailored financial solutions for dental practices and their specific needs.

Supporting medical practices and private clinics with accounts, tax, bookkeeping, payroll and financial management.

Specialised accounting for pharmacies and locums.

Our Accounting and Tax Services for Healthcare Professionals

The services below are shaped around how healthcare income actually works, rather than being applied in the same way to every client. We prepare Self Assessment tax returns for clinicians with employed, self-employed and pension income, and we handle annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns for incorporated practices and healthcare companies. Day-to-day bookkeeping and management accounts give you a clearer view of practice performance, cash flow and overheads, which matters when income fluctuates with clinic lists, referrals or seasonal demand. Payroll support covers practice teams, reception and administrative staff, and associates, including auto-enrolment pension duties and the reporting that comes with them. Where VAT applies, we help determine which services are exempt and which are standard-rated, and we prepare and submit returns accordingly. We also provide tax planning and business structure advice, covering matters such as incorporating a practice, splitting profit between partners, claiming legitimate professional expenses, and understanding how pension contributions interact with your tax position. Where relevant, we can prepare financial reporting for lenders or partners considering a practice move, expansion or retirement.

Professional preparation of your annual financial statements.

Accurate and timely filing of all required tax submissions.

Accurate and up-to-date records for your practice.

Efficient payroll management for your staff.

Tax Planning

Planning your tax position efficiently while staying compliant.

Key Accounting and Tax Challenges Facing Healthcare Professionals

Healthcare finances are rarely simple, and the same questions come up repeatedly across doctors, dentists, pharmacists, therapists and care providers. These are the areas most likely to create pressure, cost or avoidable stress.

  • Multiple and mixed income sources. Many clinicians earn a salary from the NHS or a hospital alongside private fees, locum income, teaching or medico-legal work. Each source has its own tax treatment, and combining them accurately on a Self Assessment return requires proper records rather than an estimate at the last minute.
  • Distinguishing allowable from non-allowable expenses. Registration and regulatory fees, professional indemnity insurance, CPD, specialist equipment, uniforms and travel between sites may all be claimable in the right circumstances, while everyday commuting and personal costs are not. Getting this wrong can lead to overpaying tax or to queries from HMRC.
  • VAT complexity in clinical settings. Medical care is often exempt from VAT, but not everything a practice does falls into that category. Cosmetic or non-medical treatments, retail sales, dispensing and mixed supplies can follow different rules, and incorrect treatment of supplies can be expensive to unwind.
  • Payroll and pensions for practice teams. Employing associates, nurses, receptionists and administrators brings real-time reporting, pension auto-enrolment, holiday pay and associate arrangements that may be employment or self-employment in nature. Small practice teams often carry this burden without dedicated HR or finance staff.
  • Deciding on the right business structure. Sole trader, partnership and limited company each produce different tax outcomes and different administrative obligations. As a practice grows, earns more, or takes on new partners, the structure that suited you at the start may no longer be the most efficient.
  • Keeping pace with deadlines and records. Self Assessment, PAYE, VAT and company filing dates fall at different times of year, and clinicians working long clinical weeks often leave record keeping to the end of the tax year. Reconstructing twelve months of income and expenses after the event is time-consuming and increases the risk of errors.

Why Choose Us as Your Healthcare Accountants

Healthcare professionals tend to come to CruseBurke for one reason: they want an accountant who already understands the language of their work. That means knowing the difference between NHS pension income and private fee income, recognising which professional costs are genuinely tax-deductible, and appreciating that a clinic’s cash flow follows its appointment book rather than a conventional sales cycle. It also means communicating in plain terms, explaining the reasoning behind advice, and flagging issues before they become problems rather than after HMRC has raised a query. You get a single, consistent point of contact, proactive reminders around key dates, and practical support with the routine work that consumes time — bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and returns — leaving you free to focus on clinical work. Where decisions have longer-term consequences, such as changing structure or bringing in a partner, we set out the options and their implications clearly so you can choose with confidence.

Our Simple 3-Step Process for Healthcare Clients

Getting accounting support in place should not feel like another administrative hurdle. The process begins with an initial conversation about how you work — whether you are employed, self-employed, running a practice or a combination — along with your income sources, current record-keeping and any deadlines or concerns that are on your mind. From there, we review your position in more detail, looking at your accounts, tax returns, payroll and VAT arrangements, and identify where there are gaps, risks or opportunities worth addressing. We then set out a clear scope of work and put the necessary support in place, agreeing who does what, how records will be shared, and when key filings are due. Once established, support continues throughout the year with monitoring, reminders and advice as circumstances change, so your affairs stay organised rather than being revisited in a rush each January.

1. Initial Consultation (It’s Free):

We begin by getting to know your practice and your specific needs. This step ensures we have a clear picture of your challenges, goals, and the opportunities available to you.

2. Customised Plan:

Based on our initial discussion, we create a personalised plan designed specifically for you. Our aim is to keep your healthcare finances straightforward, with your numbers handled accurately and professionally by dedicated healthcare accountants.

3. Ongoing Support & Updates:

From there, we take care of the ongoing work and keep you updated with clear, regular reports. We're always here to answer your questions, ensuring you have a clear picture of your financial health at all times.

Why CruseBurke Is a Strong Fit for Healthcare Accounting

CruseBurke works with healthcare professionals and healthcare businesses on the accounting and tax matters that arise most often in clinical settings. That includes preparing Self Assessment returns where NHS and private income sit side by side, handling annual accounts and Corporation Tax for incorporated practices, running payroll for clinical and administrative teams, dealing with VAT on the services a practice provides, and advising on structure, expenses and tax planning. The value of that focus is practical rather than promotional: fewer explanations are needed, questions are anticipated earlier, and advice reflects the realities of clinical work such as irregular hours, associate arrangements, pension contributions and regulated professional costs. Behind the scenes, we keep records organised, filings on schedule and figures accurate, so that when you need to make a decision about expanding a practice, taking on a partner, or changing how you are paid, you have reliable information to hand. Where things change — a new contract, a move into private practice, or a shift from sole trader to limited company — support adjusts with you.

FAQs about Accountants for Healthcare in Hendon London

The work is broadly the same as any accountant's, but applied to healthcare circumstances. In practice that means preparing Self Assessment returns that combine NHS salary, private fees, locum income and pension income correctly, preparing annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns for incorporated practices, running payroll for practice staff and associates, handling VAT returns where a practice makes taxable supplies, and advising on allowable expenses, business structure and tax planning. It also includes the less visible side: keeping deadlines under control, maintaining accurate records and flagging issues before they reach HMRC.

It is worth considering. Locum and self-employed clinicians often deal with agency payments, direct private invoices, travel between sites, indemnity cover, registration fees and fluctuating monthly income, all of which need to be recorded accurately for Self Assessment. If you operate through your own limited company, off-payroll working rules may also apply depending on who engages you, and getting that wrong carries tax risk. A specialist approach helps make sure income is reported correctly and legitimate costs are captured.

NHS salary is normally taxed through PAYE, with tax deducted at source, while private fees, locum income and similar earnings are usually reported through Self Assessment. The two interact: your total income determines your marginal rate, and can affect how much of your Personal Allowance is available and whether higher or additional rates apply. Where pension contributions are involved, particularly NHS pension arrangements, the interaction can be more complicated still. Bringing all sources together accurately is essential to avoid underpaying or overpaying tax.

It depends on your circumstances, but common claims include professional registration and regulatory body fees, professional indemnity insurance, relevant CPD and training, specialist equipment and instruments, professional subscriptions, uniforms and their upkeep, and travel between separate work sites. Everyday commuting between home and a permanent workplace is generally not allowable. Because some costs are only partly deductible, and others need apportioning, it is worth reviewing your specific position rather than assuming a standard list applies.

Sometimes. Many clinical services are exempt from VAT when provided by appropriately qualified professionals, which is why a significant amount of healthcare activity falls outside the scope of VAT altogether. However, not everything a practice does is exempt — non-medical or cosmetic treatments, retail sales, and certain dispensing arrangements can be treated differently, and mixed supplies need to be split correctly. Whether you need to register also depends on your taxable turnover. It is worth checking your position rather than assuming you are either fully exempt or fully liable.

Yes. Payroll support typically covers salaried clinicians, associates, nurses, reception and administrative staff, including real-time information submissions to HMRC, payslips, statutory payments, and pension auto-enrolment duties. Practice payroll often involves a mix of part-time hours, varying shift patterns and associate arrangements that may or may not be employment, so it helps to have the arrangements reviewed as well as processed. Keeping payroll and accounts aligned also makes year-end reporting far smoother.

The main principle is to capture income and expenses as they happen rather than reconstructing them months later. Digital records, separate business and personal bank accounts, and a simple system for storing invoices and receipts make a substantial difference, particularly when income arrives from several sources. If you already have a backlog, it can usually be brought up to date systematically. Once records are organised, ongoing bookkeeping becomes a routine task rather than a yearly scramble.

Yes. Records, documents and queries can be handled digitally, with calls or video meetings arranged at times that fit around clinics and surgery lists. To get started, it helps to have a rough picture of your income sources, whether you are employed, self-employed or both, any existing accountant arrangements, and the deadlines you are working towards. The first step is a conversation about your circumstances, after which we will explain what support is appropriate and what happens next.
