Many doctors and other medical professionals finish their medical training with little to no specialised financial knowledge of the medical industry. Having an accountant is not absolutely crucial, but due to the complexity of the industry, it can often be advantageous to hire a specialist accountant to manage your personal tax or medical accounts.
The majority of those working in healthcare have joined the NHS pension scheme. Members of this defined benefit scheme will benefit from the support of specialist advisors who are experts on the topic. Many of our clients rely on us for guidance in this complicated area. We believe NHS members should be seeking regular advice and keeping track of their pension status to make sure it is correctly calculated, and all available options are explored.
