Specialist Accounting for NHS GP Contracts, Reimbursements & Practice Funding
Managing NHS contracts and funding streams requires more than just basic bookkeeping—it calls for deep sector knowledge, meticulous reporting, and a strategic approach to practice finances. Our NHS contract accounting service ensures general practitioners and medical practices receive accurate, timely support in managing income, expenses, and reporting obligations tied to their NHS agreements.
Full Accounting Support for NHS Practice Income
GMS, PMS, and APMS contract expertise: We understand the differences between each NHS contract type and provide tailored support based on your agreement structure.
Income stream tracking: Accurately record and allocate income from:
- Global Sum / PMS Baseline
- Enhanced Services (DES, LES, and other locally commissioned services)
- QOF (Quality and Outcomes Framework)
- NHS reimbursements (e.g., premises, staff, IT)
Expense matching and reporting: Align income with related expenses for better performance tracking and profitability insight.
Why NHS Contract Accounting Matters for GPs
Missing or misallocated reimbursements can significantly impact your practice’s financial health. We help you:

- Ensure proper recording of funding for:
- Premises costs (rent, business rates, utilities)
- Staff reimbursements (ARRS roles, PCN staff, locums)
- Training grants or one-off incentive payments
We take the confusion out of GP funding, ensuring you receive everything you’re owed.
