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![]()

It combines standard accounting work with an understanding of how healthcare income and costs behave. In practice, that means preparing annual accounts and financial statements, handling Corporation Tax or partnership returns, preparing and filing Self Assessment returns covering NHS pay, locum work, private fees and other income, running payroll for practice and care staff, dealing with VAT registration and returns, and keeping accurate bookkeeping so the numbers are reliable. It also includes advice — on allowable expenses, business structure, profit extraction and planning ahead for tax bills — which is where sector knowledge makes the biggest difference.
Both need to be reported, but not in the same way. Employment income is taxed through PAYE, while private fees, locum sessions and consulting work are usually treated as self-employment and reported through Self Assessment. You may also need to consider payments on account if your tax bill is significant, and whether expenses relating to the private work are being claimed correctly. Getting the split right from the start avoids amendments and unexpected demands later, and it is one of the most common areas we review for clinicians.
Yes. Practices and care businesses often run payroll for receptionists, dental nurses, dispensary staff, carers and support workers, sometimes with variable hours, overtime and bank shifts, and pension auto-enrolment duties on top. We handle the payroll processing and Real Time Information submissions so that pay, deductions and pension contributions are reported correctly. On VAT, the key issue is usually identifying which supplies are exempt and which are taxable, particularly where a practice or provider offers both medical and non-medical services, so registration and returns are handled on the right basis.
At minimum, keep records of all income received, whether from NHS contracts, private patients, insurers, agency work or locum sessions, alongside evidence of business costs such as professional registration and indemnity fees, clinical equipment, specialist clothing, training, mileage between sites and any practice-related subscriptions. Bank records alone rarely tell the full story, so retaining invoices and receipts matters. Good record keeping does not need to be complicated — a consistent system, updated monthly rather than once a year, makes return preparation quicker and reduces the risk of expenses being disallowed.
It depends on what is supplied. Many healthcare services provided by registered professionals fall within the exemption, but not everything a practice or provider does is exempt — cosmetic treatments, some retail sales, non-medical products and certain administrative services typically are not. Where exempt and taxable supplies are mixed, registration thresholds, partial exemption calculations and the way returns are completed all need care. We review your activities and confirm which treatment applies before anything is submitted to HMRC.
Yes. Accounts, payroll, VAT and Self Assessment work can all be handled digitally, with documents shared securely and queries answered by phone, email or video call. Remote working suits clinicians with limited time between clinics, or practice owners juggling multiple sites, because records can be submitted as they arise rather than gathered in a rush before a deadline. The level and frequency of contact is agreed at the outset so you know exactly how the arrangement will work.
It depends on your circumstances. If your only income is taxed through PAYE, a return is often unnecessary, but agency shifts, bank work treated as self-employment, or income above certain thresholds can create a filing obligation, as can untaxed income such as private care work or rental income. HMRC can also require a return even where no tax is due. Rather than guessing, it is worth reviewing how your income is classified, because agency arrangements vary and the labels used by an agency do not always determine the tax treatment.
Start with a conversation about how you work and what you need help with. We will look at your current position — income streams, existing accounts and returns, bookkeeping and payroll arrangements, and any outstanding HMRC matters — and then set out what support would be appropriate. If records are incomplete or deadlines are approaching, that is dealt with first. Fees are agreed based on the scope of the work rather than a one-size-fits-all figure, so you know what is covered before anything begins.
