Posted on Saqib AshrafTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went (me and my dad) to AJ Bookkeeping for my dad’s annual accounts, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service we received. From start to finish, the chap was professional, efficient, and incredibly helpful in making the entire process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring that all of our questions were answered and we fully understood the work being done. The communication was prompt, and we were kept updated every step of the way. What stood out the most was his attention to detail and dedication to delivering accurate results. AJ Bookkeeping truly went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with the final accounts. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of reliable and thorough bookkeeping support.

They take care of all my business accounts plus payroll, VAT returns and my confirmation statements. The team contact me beforehand to finalise my quarter accounts when VAT is due; something I would easily forget. They are always available to answer questions and will always provide me with expert advice to ensure my VAT account is kept in order.

Bookkeeping & Account FAQ’s
Got a question? You’re not alone.
We’ve answered some of the most common questions locum professionals ask us about accounting, tax, and compliance. If you need more personalised support, we’re just a call or message away.
Do I need an accountant as a locum professional?
Yes — especially if you’re managing multiple income sources, claiming expenses, or operating through a limited company. A specialised accountant ensures you’re compliant with HMRC, maximising your deductions, and avoiding costly mistakes.
How does IR35 affect me as a locum?
IR35 legislation determines whether you’re genuinely self-employed or effectively working as an employee through a limited company. We assess your contracts, advise on status, and help you stay compliant to avoid penalties.
Can you help me set up a limited company?
Absolutely. We’ll guide you through the setup process, register your company with Companies House and HMRC, and ensure your payroll, VAT, and tax filings are ready from day one.
What expenses can I claim as a locum?
You can typically claim for professional fees, travel (excluding commuting), work-related equipment, insurance, and certain home office costs. We’ll help you identify what’s allowable and keep your records in order for HMRC.
