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.

Common Accounting Challenges Facing Medical Professionals

Medical income rarely arrives in a single, tidy stream. NHS work, private fees, locum shifts and consultancy can all sit alongside each other, which makes accurate records and timely tax filings harder to stay on top of.

  • Managing a mix of NHS and private income within one set of records
  • Keeping accurate records when locum, consultancy and practice income overlap
  • Understanding how professional expenses and medical indemnity are treated
  • Staying on top of Self Assessment deadlines when income varies through the year
  • Choosing the right business structure as your workload or practice grows
  • Keeping bookkeeping, payroll and VAT considerations under control

Why Medical Professionals Choose Us for Their Accounts

FAQs About Medical Accountants

Our work typically covers Self Assessment tax returns, annual accounts, bookkeeping, payroll, Corporation Tax and tax planning, with VAT support and medical practice accounting where relevant. Because circumstances differ, we agree the specific services you need at the outset rather than applying a fixed package. Support continues through the year, not only when a filing deadline approaches.

We support doctors, GPs, medical consultants, locum doctors, private practitioners and medical practice owners, including those running clinics, partnerships or limited companies. If your work generates income from medical sources, whether employed, self-employed or a mixture of both, we can help you organise the accounting side. Sole traders, partners and company directors are all within scope.

NHS income and private fees are usually treated differently for tax purposes, and the correct treatment depends on how each payment is made and what it relates to. We help you separate the streams within your records so that returns are prepared accurately and nothing is missed. Where a particular item needs closer review, we will explain the position and the information required.

Yes. Locum and consultancy work often brings several payers, variable income and expenses spread across the year, which makes accurate record keeping essential. We prepare and file your Self Assessment return, review the figures with you before submission and explain any tax due so there are no surprises. Filing deadlines are tracked so returns go in on time.

Many costs associated with medical work, such as professional body subscriptions, some equipment and medical indemnity cover, may be allowable, but the position depends on your individual circumstances and how the expense relates to your work. We review your costs and advise on what can reasonably be claimed and what evidence should be kept. Nothing is claimed without a clear basis for it.

We can look after day-to-day bookkeeping, run payroll for practice staff and assist with VAT registration and returns where a practice or individual needs it. Whether each of these applies depends on your income levels, business structure and how the practice is organised. VAT in particular depends on turnover thresholds, so we assess your position before recommending a route.

The right structure depends on your income, how many people are involved, your plans for the practice and how you wish to take money out of the business. Each option carries different tax and administrative responsibilities, and what suits one medical professional may not suit another. We talk through the practical implications before you commit to any change.

Simply get in touch and we will discuss your current arrangements, your income sources and what you would like help with. If you are moving from another accountant, we can handle the handover of records and communicate with your existing adviser where needed. From there, we confirm the support in place and take over the ongoing accounting work.
