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 handle the accounting and tax work that comes with earning as a medical professional, including Self Assessment, annual accounts, bookkeeping, payroll and tax planning. Because medical income often combines NHS work, private fees and locum shifts, the records and reporting can be more involved than a standard salary position. We prepare and review those records and explain the tax treatment that applies to your situation.

We support doctors, GPs, hospital consultants, locum doctors, private practitioners, medical practice owners and practice partners. Whether you work solely in the NHS, run a private practice, or combine several streams of income, the accounting requirements differ and the support is shaped accordingly. If you are unsure whether your circumstances fit, a conversation is usually the quickest way to find out.

Yes. Having more than one income source is common among medical professionals, and it usually means separate records must be kept and reported correctly. We help you track each stream, keep supporting documentation, and understand how the combined figures affect your tax position. Because every situation is different, the treatment of specific items depends on your individual circumstances.

Locum doctors are often responsible for their own tax reporting, which generally means registering for Self Assessment and filing a return each year. The exact position depends on how you are engaged and paid, and whether tax has already been deducted. We can review your arrangements and confirm what is required in your case.

Typical expenses include professional body subscriptions, medical indemnity cover, continuing professional development and certain travel costs, but entitlement varies and not every cost qualifies. The rules also differ depending on whether you are employed, self-employed or working through a practice. We review your expenses and advise on what can properly be claimed based on your circumstances.

Yes, we can look after bookkeeping, payroll, VAT returns and management reporting where these apply to your practice. This keeps your records accurate, reduces the pressure around deadlines, and gives you a clearer view of how the practice is performing. Whether VAT registration is necessary depends on your turnover and the nature of your services.

The right structure depends on your income levels, how many people are involved, and your plans for the future. Sole trader, partnership, limited company and limited liability partnership arrangements each carry different tax and reporting implications. We explain the practical differences so you can make an informed decision rather than guessing.

Switching is usually straightforward. Get in touch, tell us about your current arrangements and any upcoming deadlines, and we will handle the handover of records from your existing accountant. Once everything is in place, we confirm the ongoing support you need and the dates you should be aware of, so nothing is missed during the transition.
