Accountants for Doctors & Medical Professionals

Maximise Your Take-Home Pay with Bright Ideas Accountancy

Let Bright Ideas Accountancy simplify your finances

As a locum doctor, you have the weight of the world on your shoulders: diagnosing, treating, and caring for patients. Being self-employed can alleviate some of the pressure; you get to enjoy the benefits of flexibility, working where you want and at times that suit you – not to mention the opportunity to explore a variety of career options and higher pay.

But this does mean you have to deal with managing your own finances – something you unlikely have the time for. First, you’ll have to make the decision whether to operate as a limited company or sole trader. Then you have to deal with the admin, such as the tax return and year-end accounts. It’s little wonder that so many opt to outsource to a specialist accountant.

Bright Ideas Accountancy has helped many locum doctors, GPs and other medical professionals get their accounts in order and compliantly maximise their take-home pay. And that’s exactly what we can do for you!
