Dains – Ayr

Led by Partner, Laura Nicholl, our Ayrshire based healthcare team supports a wide range of businesses, acting for a large number of medical practices, as well as many more GPs, Locums and Consultants across the West of Scotland.

The financial environment for healthcare professionals is particularly complicated. Our team provides our clients with a range of resources to help guide them through the complexities found within medical accounts, the NHS pension scheme, alongside expert advice on the related tax issues.

We have the technical ability to rival much larger firms, yet our size allows us to offer all clients a truly custom and personal year-round service. Working in partnership with our clients is vitally important to us.

With expert knowledge of the NHS pensions scheme we specialise in providing calculations and projections in respect of annual allowance, lifetime allowance and pensions positions. Working closely with our colleagues at WD Wealth Management we offer a fully comprehensive service when it comes to pensions planning.

We are advanced in the use of digital technology, and our digitally focused team is very experienced in using both Xero cloud accounting and Xero cloud payroll software for GP practices; we can advise on how it works best in a healthcare setting and provide expert training and support in this area.

The team regularly assist NHS Education for Scotland by presenting finance related workshops at Practice Manager conferences and also to Practice Manager/Trainee Practice Manager evets. Topics include Understanding Accounts, General Practice is a Business, Superannuation, and Capital Accounts amongst others. We have also delivered finance-related presentations to some of our Practices under Protected Learning Time.
