Accountants for Healthcare Professionals
Accounts and tax reporting across employed, self-employed and company income.
We support doctors, locums and healthcare professionals with accounts and tax reporting across employed, self-employed and company income. Many healthcare professionals earn from more than one source in the same year, and each source is reported differently. We bring them together, explain the tax position and prepare the returns and accounts you need.
Based in Greater Manchester, supporting clients across the UK.

If you work through your own limited company, we prepare its accounts and Company Tax Return. See Annual Accounts & Corporation Tax.
Expenses and records

We review salary, dividends and other decisions before you make them. See Tax Planning.
Accountants for doctors, locums and other healthcare professionals
A salaried doctor, a locum working shifts for several organisations and a GP partner with a private practice do not have the same tax position. Healthcare professionals often have a mix: a main employment, additional sessional or locum work, private work, and sometimes a company. Each can change which returns you need and when.
We look at the whole picture. We establish which income is employed and which is self-employed, whether a company is the right vehicle for any of it, what records you need, and what to plan for when tax falls due. Where a matter needs specialist advice outside our services, such as pensions, we say so and point you to an appropriate professional.
Income and expenses we review
- Employment income, including more than one employer
- Locum, sessional and other self-employed income
- Income paid to your own company, and what you take out as salary or dividends
- Rental, investment or other income that needs reporting
- Professional fees and subscriptions, equipment, travel and other costs, where they qualify
Whether an expense can be claimed depends on your circumstances and the rules for your type of income. We confirm what applies to you and what records to keep.
Tax rules to know
Checked against GOV.UK on 11 November 2026.
| Topic | What GOV.UK says |
|---|---|
| Self-employed expenses | Self-employed people deduct allowable business costs to work out taxable profit before Income Tax. Money taken from the business for personal use is not an allowable expense. |
| Employees’ job expenses | You may be able to claim tax relief on things you must buy for your job and use only for work, but not where your employer repays you. |
| Who must send a Self Assessment return | Depends on your income and circumstances. HMRC has a short checking tool. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to common questions about this service.
Do locum doctors need to file a Self Assessment tax return?
It depends on how you are paid and your other income. A locum working as a sole trader reports that income on a Self Assessment return. We check your position and any notice from HMRC.
Can you work with doctors who have both employed and self-employed income?
Yes. We bring employment, self-employed and other income together on one return and explain the tax and payment dates.
Can you help if I work through my own limited company?
Yes. We prepare the company’s accounts and Company Tax Return, support director payroll, and review how you take income from the company.
