Online accountants vs the high street
Most local firms near Alnwick quote low, bill by the hour and reserve the right to charge for every phone call. We built the opposite: written fixed fees agreed up front, unlimited questions inside the price, and a fully online workflow — no premises anywhere, so no premises priced into your fee in Alnwick.

You get the same qualified work — minus the overheads, the travel and the surprises on the invoice.

The same service in Alnwick as anywhere — by design
We built this service so that someone in Alnwick never pays a premium — or accepts worse service — because of geography. Same specialists, same published fees, same speed, wherever in North East you are.
A lot of our North East clients switched from local firms after one too many surprise invoices. The fix wasn't a cheaper local firm; it was removing the billing model that produces surprises. Fixed fees, in writing, before the work — that's the whole trick.

Alnwick locum accountants FAQs
Sole trader or limited company for locum work?
It depends on your day rate, session volume and pension priorities — NHS pension access often argues for sole-trader GP work, while non-pensionable and private work can favour a company. We'll model your actual mix rather than give a generic answer.
What expenses can locums claim?
Professional indemnity, GMC/GDC/GPhC registration, royal college fees, courses and CPD, travel between temporary workplaces, and equipment. The travel rules around 'temporary workplace' are nuanced — claiming them correctly is worth real money.
Can you help with NHS pension annual allowance issues?
We calculate your position, flag likely annual allowance charges and prepare the Self Assessment entries (including scheme pays elections). For complex cases we'll say when an IFA should be involved — honestly, and before you spend money.
Do I need to visit an office in Alnwick?
No — there's nothing to visit and nothing to print. We're an online firm: records go through our secure portal or WhatsApp, and everything is filed electronically. It works the same whether you're in Alnwick or anywhere else in North East.
I searched "locum accounting near me" — is this service really local to Alnwick?
Alnwick is fully covered, yes. The work is done online, which in practice means more local than an office: same-day replies instead of appointment slots, and the same published fixed fee whether you're in Alnwick town centre or the edge of North East. If you'd rather talk it through first, WhatsApp us — a real person answers.
Who will actually handle my locum accounting?
Bohzo Accountants — a trading name of Bohzo Ltd, a registered UK company (No. 15031604). You get a named contact, a fixed fee in writing, and nothing is filed until you've reviewed and approved it.
How do your fixed fees work?
You tell us your situation, we quote one fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that price never changes mid-job. If your case is unusually complex we'll say so up front and agree a different fixed price — but the fee is always agreed before we begin, never after.
Tax, briefly — the parts that affect Alnwick
Some businesses register for VAT before they must — reclaiming input VAT can be worth it if your customers are VAT-registered themselves. Others should stay below deliberately. It's a real decision with real numbers, not a formality.
Auto-enrolment applies from the first eligible employee: assess, enrol, contribute, declare. The Pensions Regulator does check, and the fines for ignoring it are out of proportion to how simple compliance actually is.
The honest answer changes with your profits. At lower profits, sole trader simplicity usually wins; as profits grow, a limited company's mix of salary and dividends, corporation tax rates and liability protection starts earning its extra admin. We run the actual numbers before recommending either.
Register with HMRC by the 5 October after your first tax year of trading, open a separate business account, and put a fixed slice of every payment aside for tax. Do those three things and your first January will be boring — the good kind.
Compare accountants on the things that bite later: is the fee fixed and written down, what exactly is included, who does the work, how fast do they answer in January. Proximity to Alnwick stopped being the differentiator the day filings went electronic.
Miss 31 January and the £100 fine is automatic; three months later daily penalties start. If you're behind on a return, the maths almost always favours filing quickly over waiting — penalties grow on a timetable, and HMRC charges interest either way.
The tax-free dividend allowance is down to £500, so almost any director taking dividends now pays some dividend tax — and needs a Self Assessment return to report it. The classic small-salary-plus-dividends strategy still works; it just needs actual planning rather than folklore.
Self Assessment lateness is priced in stages: £100 immediately, daily £10 penalties after three months (up to £900), then percentage-based charges at six and twelve months — all separate from interest on unpaid tax. The curve is designed to reward filing sooner, whatever the state of your records.
General guidance, not personal advice — thresholds and dates change. For advice on your own position in Alnwick, message us and we'll answer against your actual numbers.
