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.

Accounting Challenges Facing Medical Professionals

Medical professionals often deal with income and expenses that a standard personal tax return does not reflect well. Common pressure points include:

  • Combining NHS and private income into one accurate tax position
  • Managing multiple income sources, including locum shifts and consultancy work
  • Recording professional expenses correctly, such as medical indemnity, subscriptions and training
  • Keeping bookkeeping up to date when working patterns are unpredictable
  • Meeting Self Assessment deadlines alongside a demanding clinical schedule
  • Choosing and maintaining the right business structure and handling VAT where it applies

FAQs About Medical Accountants

The service is built around your circumstances, but typically includes Self Assessment, annual accounts, bookkeeping, payroll and tax planning, with VAT support or practice accounting added where relevant. We agree the scope with you at the outset so you know exactly what is covered. If your needs change during the year, the arrangement can be reviewed.

We work with GPs, hospital doctors, consultants, locum doctors, private practitioners, medical practice owners and partnerships. Each of these roles brings different income patterns and reporting requirements, and the advice is tailored accordingly. If you are unsure whether your situation fits, a short conversation will usually clarify it.

We start by building a clear picture of every income source, including NHS payments, private fees, locum work and consultancy earnings. From there, we work out how that income should be reported and what expenses may be allowable, which depends on your individual circumstances. Keeping records organised throughout the year makes the return far less stressful when the filing deadline arrives.

In many cases, yes, particularly where you have income that is not taxed at source, such as private practice fees or locum earnings. The exact position depends on your total income, employment arrangements and other factors. We can review your circumstances and confirm whether a return is required, then prepare and submit it on your behalf where needed.

Commonly claimed items include medical indemnity cover, professional body subscriptions, some training costs and certain equipment used for work. What is allowable depends on your role, your employment or self-employed status and the specific purpose of the expense, so relief is not guaranteed in every case. We review your spending and identify what can properly be included.

Yes, we support practices with regular bookkeeping, payroll and VAT returns where the practice is registered. Whether VAT registration is required depends on the practice's turnover and the nature of its services, which are individual to each business. We can review this and advise on the most suitable approach.

There is no single answer that suits every medical professional, as the right structure depends on your income level, how you work and your longer-term plans. A limited company can suit some consultants and private practitioners, while sole trading or a partnership often works well for others. We explain the tax and administrative implications of each option before you decide.

Switching is usually straightforward: you get in touch, we discuss your current position, and we handle the handover with your existing accountant on your behalf. Once records and authorisations are in place, we agree a scope and start providing ongoing support. You do not need to wait until a year end or filing deadline to make the change.
