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.

FAQs About Medical Accountants

Medical Accountants in Hove support the day-to-day accounting and tax obligations that come with medical work, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, payroll and Corporation Tax where relevant. Depending on your circumstances, this may also extend to tax planning, VAT support and medical practice accounting. The exact scope is agreed with you so the work matches your income and structure.

Our services suit doctors, GPs, medical consultants, locum doctors, private practitioners, medical practice owners and medical practices operating in and around Hove. Whether you work mainly within the NHS, predominantly in private practice or across a combination of both, your accounting needs can be reviewed and supported accordingly. Sole traders, partnerships and limited companies can all be accommodated.

Yes. Many medical professionals receive income from more than one source, and keeping those streams clearly separated helps with accurate reporting and record keeping. We can help you organise NHS income, private fees and any locum or consultancy earnings so your accounts and tax returns reflect the full picture. How each source is treated will depend on your individual circumstances.

If you receive income that is not taxed in full through PAYE, such as private fees, locum work or consultancy earnings, a Self Assessment tax return is often required. Self-employed medical professionals will generally need to report their income and expenses each year as well. We can confirm your position based on your own circumstances and prepare the return on your behalf.

Common items include professional subscriptions, medical indemnity cover, training relevant to your existing work and certain travel costs, though the rules depend on individual circumstances and the purpose of the expense. We review your outgoings and identify what may be allowable, keeping appropriate records to support each claim. Anything uncertain is explained clearly rather than assumed.

Yes, bookkeeping is a core part of what we do, and it helps keep your records accurate and ready for year-end reporting. Where your turnover or activities mean VAT registration applies, we can assist with VAT returns and record keeping requirements. Whether VAT is relevant to you depends on your own situation, so we will discuss this with you directly.

The right structure depends on your income levels, how you work and your longer-term plans, and there is no single answer that suits every medical professional. We can talk through the practical differences between sole trader, partnership and limited company arrangements, including how each affects your accounts and tax reporting. Any decision should be based on your own circumstances and reviewed as things change.

Getting started begins with a conversation about your current arrangements, your income sources and what you would like help with. If you are moving from another accountant, we can usually liaise with them to obtain the information needed and keep the transition smooth. From there, we agree the services you need and provide ongoing support throughout the year.
