Medical Accountants Birmingham – Doctors, Dentists, Pharmacists & Healthcare Professionals

A medical accountant helps healthcare professionals manage their finances: preparing Self Assessment tax returns, organising NHS and private income, reviewing allowable expenses and professional fee claims, supporting bookkeeping and payroll, and keeping records ready for HMRC deadlines. For more detail on a specific profession, see our dedicated pages for doctors, dentists, GP surgeries and pharmacists.

Medical professionals often have a mix of NHS employment income, locum or private practice income, pension records, professional fees and complex tax reporting requirements. A specialist accountant who understands healthcare finances can help ensure income is correctly separated, allowable expenses are properly claimed and Self Assessment returns are filed accurately.

You are likely to need a Self Assessment return if you are a locum doctor, locum pharmacist, dental associate, self-employed consultant or GP partner. Employed NHS staff may also need to file if they have untaxed income such as rent, dividends or savings interest above the relevant limits, profit from self-employment, the High Income Child Benefit Charge to pay, or if HMRC has issued a notice to file. (HMRC removed the old £100,000/£150,000 income trigger for people taxed only through PAYE from the 2024/25 tax year, so it is now about your circumstances rather than a salary figure.) We can confirm whether you need to register.

Tax relief may be available on fees paid to approved professional bodies where membership is required for your role — for example GMC, GDC, GPhC, BMA, Royal College subscriptions, MDU or MPS indemnity. Relief is not usually available where the employer has already reimbursed the cost. HMRC publishes a list of approved bodies (List 3) and rules vary by employment status.

Yes. We can help organise accounting and tax records connected to NHS pension information, including employment income and Self Assessment figures. The NHS pension annual allowance and associated tax charges are a complex area — specialist pension advice may also be required alongside accounting support, depending on your circumstances.

Locum doctors, locum pharmacists and other sessional healthcare workers often have multiple income sources, agency payments and irregular work patterns. A medical accountant can help register you for Self Assessment, organise invoices and expenses, track mileage, review professional fees and prepare accurate tax return figures. See our dedicated pages for locum doctors and locum pharmacists for more detail.

Dental associates, dental contractors and practice owners typically have a mix of NHS and private income, associate agreements, equipment costs and payroll. A specialist accountant can help separate these income streams, review allowable expenses and prepare accurate accounts and tax returns. We have a dedicated page for dentists and dental associates with more information.

GP surgeries and healthcare practices typically need bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, year-end practice accounts and tax support. Income from NHS contracts, enhanced services and private work all need to be correctly recorded. We have a dedicated page for GP surgery accounting with further detail.

The cost depends on the level of support needed — whether it is a straightforward Self Assessment return, bookkeeping, payroll or full practice accounts. At Gondal Accountancy we offer fixed-fee pricing wherever possible, so you know the cost before work begins. Contact us for a no-obligation quote tailored to your situation.
