Morris Crocker now acts for well over 100 medical practices throughout the South of England and is the founder member of the Specialist Medical Accounting Services (SMAS) Group, a national network of accountancy firms providing specialist financial, accountancy and taxation advice to individuals, professionals and businesses in the medical sector.
Our aim is to provide a first class financial, accountancy and advisory service for YOUR practice, whether GMS or PMS.
The dramatic revisions in the way the NHS is run now mean that you need top management skills and up to the minute knowledge to address ongoing changes. With our extensive experience in this sector we can offer you a personalised service to guide you through.
Good communications and a highly trained and dedicated staff ensure that this is achieved by the use of eight qualified managers for both the accounts and taxation affairs of doctors and consultants and these staff members represent a dynamic team, run by Tony Fenner who has been providing accountants services for doctors for over thirty-five years.

What's On Offer

nGMS and PMS Contracts present numerous opportunities to increase profitability and we specialise in maximising the income of GPs.

Accountancy - Keeping You Ahead

Our tailored software package will enable you to track income and expenditure together with statistical information to help you keep day to day control of your accounts. The package will also provide facilities to enable you to target income and expenditure and compare budgets with actual. The annual practice accounts can be prepared from data e–mailed by clients using our software packages, or other forms of backup media .

Taxation

We electronically file Income Tax Returns with the Inland Revenue and ensure that each GP claims the maximum in personal expenses and other tax deductible items to achieve those tax savings that may be available. We also advise on tax planning issues.

Practice Management - Facing Challenges

There are many complex issues for doctors to consider and our experienced accountants are ready to advise and assist objectively and where appropriate ensure you go forward effectively into new areas. General practice must now be run on the same lines as all other businesses. You should budget for both income and expenditure and our dedicated software package will enable you to track and compare on a monthly, or on a three monthly, basis how your practice is performing. This budget of income and expenditure should be a rolling budget month on month so that there is always a twelve month budget available for review and inspection. With very little additional effort cashflow budgets can be produced in order that GPs may maximise their drawings. We also have the ability to provide training and support to practice managers in this area.

Superannuation and Pension Planning

Morris Crocker have developed an extensive Excel spreadsheet in order to complete the pension form that needs to be submitted to the PCT by the end of February in each year. There are a number of complex issues that arise from this new calculation of a GP’s superannuation, which can provide planning opportunities.

Partnership Changes

Dealing with as many practices as we do, we are familiar with all the possible effects of partnership changes and we are happy to guide our client practices through these changes at every stage. This may involve raising capital for the practice, or financing and refinancing surgeries generally.

Practice Based Commissioning

We are involved in the formation of specialist companies in order to provide practice based commissioning and we are in a position to advise practices on the various options available.
We offer a pro-active service. Why not draw upon our experience and expertise to enhance your practice, taking on board the opportunities available to ensure a flourishing future.
