As a doctor — whether you work within the NHS, in private practice, or both — your financial responsibilities go beyond managing your income. You also have to juggle changing tax rules and comply with detailed reporting requirements while planning for your long-term security and retirement.
You might be eligible for tax relief on things like indemnity insurance or professional memberships, but like many doctors, you might not realise it and miss out. If you’re contributing to the NHS pension scheme, recent changes could also impact your future planning and tax position in ways that aren’t always obvious.
That’s why working with medical accountants who understand your profession can help you make more informed decisions and avoid costly oversights.
How medical accountants support your practice
A specialised medical accountant understands the financial landscape of both NHS roles and private practice, thanks to their experience working specifically with healthcare professionals. This expertise can be valuable to doctors who split their time between their practice and managing their finances.
At Allenby Accountants, we have specialists who can manage everything from compliance checks to detailed tax planning, helping you avoid costly mistakes and freeing you up to focus on patient care.
Planning for financial growth
Clear financial forecasting can make a big difference to your long-term success. Whether you’re curious about where your practice’s finances will be in five years or planning to invest in a new location or partnership, medical accountants can guide your decisions.
They help you anticipate changes in your income or expenses and build realistic plans for scaling up, so your practice continues to thrive.
Expert help with tax and compliance
Managing taxes in healthcare can quickly become complicated, especially for NHS-employed doctors who also work privately. Since these income streams impact your overall tax and National Insurance liabilities, it’s crucial to keep everything in order.
With increasing attention from HMRC on sectors like healthcare, having a specialised medical accountant by your side ensures you’re fully compliant, whether it’s declaring all taxable income or identifying tax relief opportunities.
