Who we help
Built for medical professionals
We work only with doctors and medical practices — it's all we do.
Doctors starting out
Setting up your first structure — company, trust or sole trader, chosen for your real circumstances.
Established practitioners
Reviewing whether your current structure still suits your income and goals.
Practice owners
Practice entities, service arrangements and partner structuring.
Doctors buying a practice
Acquisition structure, asset and goodwill considerations reviewed before you commit.
Partnerships
New or existing partnerships structured clearly so expectations and tax are handled.
Doctors planning succession
Growth, partner entry/exit and eventual sale or handover considered early.
Problems we solve
Common tax & finance issues for doctors
Honest, practical help — no jargon, no pressure.
Company, trust or sole trader?
The right structure depends on your income, PSI position and goals — not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Do I need a service entity?
Service-trust or service-company arrangements must be correctly documented and priced to be defensible.
Am I protected?
Separating personal wealth from practice risk depends on having the right agreements actually in place.
I'm buying a practice — how should I hold it?
Acquisition structure affects tax, asset ownership and future sale. Worth reviewing before you commit.
What we help with
Services
General information only — we confirm what applies to your situation.
Companies
When a company may or may not suit your circumstances — explained, not assumed.
Trusts
Discretionary and unit trusts, distributions and the considerations that come with them.
Partnerships
Partner structuring, agreements and how income is split and reported.
Service entities
Service-trust and service-company arrangements set up and documented defensibly.
PSI considerations
How Personal Services Income can affect which structure is even available to you.
Practice entities
The entity that holds the practice, and how it interacts with the owners' personal structures.
Asset & ownership
Who holds what, and whether personal wealth is separated from practice risk.
Succession & growth
Structuring with future partner entry, exit or sale in mind — considered early.
Restructuring
Where a change makes sense, we explain the tax implications before anything moves.

Common questions
Answered honestly
General information only — not personal advice.
Should I use a company or a trust?
It depends on your income, PSI position, asset-protection needs and goals. There's no universal answer — we review your circumstances before recommending anything.
Do I need a service entity?
Service entities can work for medical practices, but they must be correctly documented and priced to be defensible. We'll tell you whether one genuinely suits your situation.
Can you restructure an existing setup?
Sometimes. Where a change makes sense, we explain the tax implications before anything moves — we never restructure for its own sake.
I'm buying a practice — when should I get advice?
Before you commit. The acquisition structure affects tax, asset ownership and a future sale, so it's worth reviewing early.
This information is general only and does not constitute tax, legal or financial advice. Your circumstances should be reviewed before acting.
