Specialist Advisers

Clemence Hoar Cummings is a leading firm of chartered accountants with clients throughout the London and Essex region. However, we differ from other firms of a similar size because in addition to offering traditional audit and accountancy services, several members of our team have a specialist expertise in acting for general medical practices.

How CHC can help Medical Practitioners

Background

The constraints currently being placed on the Health Service and the desire to achieve 'value for money' by Health Authorities is placing an even heavier burden on General Practitioners. Increasingly the 'medical' role accepted by doctors is being matched by the 'financial reporting' role now being imposed.

It is therefore necessary to have access to outside professional advice that can help you both maximise your income and, more importantly, relieve you of the burden and let you get back to doing what you trained for, that is helping patients.

Application

Whether you operate under the new GMS contract, or are enrolled in the PMS performance based source of income, it is important to know that you are accounting for, and reporting on, the correct income. On top of this you also need access to periodic management information to enable you to evaluate the cost effectiveness of your operation.

Finally you need the peace of mind that comes with knowing how you have secured your exit route from the business and that you can enjoy your retirement without the need to continue with locum work to supplement your pension.

Commitment

With one of the largest GP client lists in the area, we have years of experience in dealing with the financial affairs of doctors and consultants and are committed to keeping abreast of current developments within the medical profession.

Our commitment extends beyond our own client portfolio, to the wider medical profession, through quarterly newsletters and the presentation of lectures and seminars on topical subjects.
