Sound familiar?
Doctors earn well. The tax paperwork rarely keeps up.
Most doctors have income arriving from several directions at once — HMRC sees NHS salary, locum fees, private billings and potentially dividend income from a limited company all in the same tax year. A generic accountant files what they are given. What you actually need is someone who already understands how medical income is structured and what HMRC expects from it.
- Multiple income streams creating a self assessment return nobody wants to tackle
- NHS pension annual allowance charges appearing with no prior warning or planning
- Private practice set up without the right company structure or VAT position
What sorted looks like
Every income stream accounted for correctly. Your pension position reviewed before the charge crystallises. Your private practice structured the right way from the start. Less to worry about, and someone to call when HMRC writes.
- One accurate self assessment covering NHS, locum, private and investment income
- Annual allowance modelled in advance so there are no unwelcome surprises in April
- Private practice limited company set up correctly with the right VAT and payroll position
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no hourly rates, no unexpected invoices
What clients say after switching
Doctors and self-employed professionals who came with complicated returns and left knowing exactly where they stood.
Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could. As a sole trader it’s really hard to keep on top of things and have now asked Dan to do monthly books for me. His rates are extremely good compared to some other accountants out there and I get more for my money.
I worked with Daniel at DG Accountancy to review and sign off my sole trader accounts for a time-sensitive mortgage application, and the service was excellent. Daniel was extremely responsive, clear, and professional throughout. He understood exactly what the lender required, turned everything around very quickly without cutting corners. Communication was straightforward and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful part of the mortgage process much easier. Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.
Everything a doctor’s tax position needs
From annual self assessment across multiple income sources to private practice compliance and NHS pension planning — all on one fixed monthly fee.
Self Assessment Across All Income
NHS salary, locum earnings, private billing and dividend income all handled in one accurate return. You will not need to piece it together yourself or worry whether something has been missed. Your tax liability is confirmed well before the January deadline.
Included as standardNHS Pension and Annual Allowance
The NHS pension annual allowance charge catches a significant number of doctors off guard each year. Your pension growth is reviewed proactively so that any charge is planned for rather than discovered. Where appropriate, carry-forward of unused allowance is considered.
Proactive tax planningPrivate Practice Company Setup
Setting up a limited company for private earnings is often the right structure — but only when it is done correctly and the VAT position, payroll and dividend strategy are considered from the start. Company formation, corporation tax, payroll and self assessment are all included in the relevant package.
Full compliance includedA consistent picture across every review
Across eight verified Google reviews, the same themes come up: fast turnaround, clear communication and fees that are exactly what was quoted.
Professional Service, Never Any Worry
“Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.”
Quick, Efficient and Friendly Throughout
“Excellent service providing financial accounts for probate. Quick, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend.”
Self-Employed Tax Handled Without the Headache
“Huge thanks to Daniel for helping ourselves with our taxes! Being self employed means we all have to do this ourselves which is just not possible on top of our work load. Thanks again! We will be using you again!”
What makes this different from any other accountant
Three things that matter when your tax position is more complicated than most.
No explaining your income structure
NHS employment, locum work and private practice payments are familiar territory here. You will not spend twenty minutes on a discovery call explaining how medical income works before getting a useful answer. The questions you get asked will already assume some context.
Pension planning before the charge lands
Annual allowance charges in the NHS pension scheme are entirely foreseeable with the right modelling. Your pension growth is reviewed as part of ongoing advisory work, not flagged as an afterthought when the return is being filed. Carry-forward analysis is included where it is worth running.
Questions answered the day you ask
Medical professionals have limited time and little patience for emails that take a week to come back. DG Accountancy is built around fast, clear responses — the kind of practice where a question asked on Tuesday morning has an answer by Tuesday afternoon.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
Most doctors are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed to require as little from you as possible.

Onboarding and cloud setup

Compliance handled, questions answered
Your returns are filed on time, your tax position is visible throughout the year and there is someone to call whenever HMRC writes or a decision needs making. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts. A huge thank you Daniel.”
Things doctors usually ask before getting started
Do you understand how NHS pension annual allowance charges work?
Yes. The tapered annual allowance and the way NHS pension growth is calculated against the standard £60,000 allowance is a specific area of focus for medical professionals. The position is reviewed proactively each year using pension statements and P60 data, and carry-forward of unused allowance from previous years is considered where it applies. You will not be discovering a charge for the first time in January.
What does it cost and what exactly is included?
Pricing is a fixed monthly fee agreed upfront based on your income structure and the services you need. For a doctor with NHS employment, locum income and a self assessment return, indicative monthly fees start from £99 for sole trader packages. Limited company private practice structures sit in the Operate or Grow tier. Everything in your quote is included — no hourly top-ups, no surprise invoices for correspondence with HMRC.
My books are in a mess and I have not filed a return in two years. Can you still help?
Yes, and it is more common than you might think. Catch-up work is scoped and quoted separately before anything starts, so you know the cost upfront. Once the backlog is cleared, everything moves onto the ongoing monthly arrangement. The process is managed without requiring you to do very much beyond providing access to the relevant records.
Is there a long-term contract or a minimum term?
There is no long-term contract. Arrangements are monthly rolling and you can leave with reasonable notice. If it is not working after the first few months, you leave with your books in order and nothing further owed. The objective is to make the relationship worth staying in, not to make leaving difficult.
I work as a locum through my own limited company. Does that affect how my tax is structured?
Locum work through a personal service company raises IR35 considerations depending on how the engagements are structured — NHS engagements are typically outside IR35, but private sector locum work may be assessed differently. The company structure, dividend strategy and salary level are reviewed as part of ongoing advisory work, not treated as a one-off setup question.
How far in advance will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
For most doctors, the self assessment liability is estimable with reasonable accuracy by October each year — well before the January payment on account. As part of ongoing support, a tax estimate is produced once sufficient data is available so that you can set funds aside rather than scramble in January. Payments on account are also reviewed to ensure they are not set higher than necessary.
