At Sandisons we strive to support our clients with a tailored, friendly and accessible service. Details can be found on this website, so please feel free to browse. We are not keen on websites that are overloaded with every possible piece of information, hence this one is comparatively short, sweet and to the point. However, we are keen on direct contact with our clients, so if you are interested in discussing your particular circumstances please contact us.
We are a long established firm of accountants, based in the Georgian market town of Blandford Forum, in a beautiful part of Dorset. Our four Directors, Sunil, Roger, James and Nigel, have many years experience in assisting clients in all aspects of their financial affairs, and they are supported by a team of about 30 well-qualified, dedicated and professional staff.
Our clients come from all kinds of businesses, but we have a very special relationship with those in the medical profession. Our clients also cover a very wide geographical area, from Devon to Sussex, and north to South Wales and Birmingham.
Our years of experience afford us specific expertise in addressing the complex issues that arise in professional partnerships and medical practices in particular. We act for more than 150 medical practices, making us one of the largest independent specialist medical firms in the country.
That’s enough about us – we’d really like to hear about you. Please feel free to give us a ring, and we’ll see what we can do for you. Or use the ‘Contact us’ section on the Home page and we will reply as soon as possible.
Our range of services include:
An annual detailed review of the financial performance against previously prepared budgets
Detailed benchmarking reports against our comprehensive GP database
Detailed income tax projections and tax planning advice
Superannuation liability forecasts, preparation of estimates for the PCT and preparation of annual pension certificates
Our own online accounting software for bookkeeping – including VAT accounting for dispensing practices (see the SOLA page for further details)
Regular financial update seminars for our client GP’s and practice managers
If you are not already a client, we are confident that we can bring a different dimension to the service that you presently receive. We even offer a free review of your practice’s present financial situation. If you would like to take us up on this offer, please use the Contact Us page to leave a message.
We have a wide range of experience in acting for hospital consultants in many disciplines, from anaesthetists to spinal surgeons, and understand the intricacies of private practice and employment within the NHS. We act for a number of dental surgeons and dental practitioners, and can assist with queries arising on the sale or purchase of dental practices, together with the provision of advice in connection with practice development.
Locum GPs too need help with accounts and tax as they establish themselves and we are ideally placed to assist.
Increasingly, Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) and limited companies are used as business structures in the medical profession. There are many implications to be aware of, tax being one of them, but whether a consultant, providing services through a limited company, or a consortium of medical practices, we understand the nuances of using these structures.
If you need some proactive advice and assistance in planning for your future, please contact us.
Whilst we are known as medical accountants, we act for many other successful businesses, such as publishing companies, wine importers, builders, property developers, to name just a few. We also assist many individuals with their personal tax affairs. The point is still the same, to minimise tax liabilities, whilst considering other important issues.
Our dedicated tax team employs 8 tax professionals, including a number of highly qualified Chartered Tax Advisers, with combined experience in tax of over 140 years! No-one would profess to know everything, but we believe that with the experience gleaned over the years, there isn’t much we haven’t seen before.
With such a wide breadth of clients we have in-depth knowledge and experience of a wide variety of businesses, be they sole traders, partnerships, LLPs or limited companies. Once we’ve had a discussion about where your business is, and where you want it to go, we will be able to provide the advice you need.
We won’t bore you with details of what we do on a day to day basis dealing with the bureaucratic monster that is HMRC. Suffice to say - if you have a tax issue or problem, be it a tax enquiry, how to structure a new business tax effectively, how to extract funds from a business or planning for the future, we are confident that we will be able to provide an effective solution.
Please contact us so we can discuss your requirements. We like to talk!
Sola is our own web-based accounting software developed specifically for the medical profession. Amongst its many features, it deals easily with VAT for dispensing practices.
We provide comprehensive training and support.
If you are a practice manager or GP and are not using SOLA we can arrange a no obligation demonstration.
The majority of our GP clients are using SOLA - if you would like to join them please telephone or use the ‘Contact Us’ page.
Welcome to SOLA.

Each year we organise seminars for our clients, usually in our home town, the Georgian market town of Blandford Forum. The seminars include lectures and discussions on the latest issues facing GPs and usually feature input from legal and financial advisors. Clients are encouraged to join the Sandisons Medical Club and receive invitations to the seminars, where there is ample opportunity to talk to fellow practitioners, practice managers and Sandisons staff, and enjoy a great lunch. The schedule for seminars is as follows:
Date: 14 March 2012, 16 May 2012, 14 November 2012 Location: The Crown Hotel, Blandford
Other forthcoming events
Legal firm Lester Aldridge are holding a free seminar entitled New Year, New Challenges on 18th January 2012, where our Director Roger Morgan will be speaking on the latest issues confronting GP practices. The invitation can be found here.
Cycling
We are planning a Sandisons ‘Ride out’ for the spring of 2012. The intended route will take the riders through the beautiful New Forest, Hampshire, with various stops along the way. The route will be on public roads and be more suitable for road bikes. Further details will follow as soon as possible, but if you are interested please send a message to let us know.
We like our clients to keep up to date with changes to the financial world, so we produce regular newsletters which are emailed to our clients. The last two newsletters are available here.
Some accountancy websites also provide pages and pages of tax information, helpsheets, etc. We prefer to give clients personally tailored advice. So, if you want details of tax rates and allowances just go to the HMRC website (see link below) on which you should find what you’re looking for. If you need more individual advice please contact us.
Below are links to websites you may find of interest, but as we like to support our local community and clients, we have included links to websites that may be of interest:
