What Sandison Easson & Co. does

Sandison Easson & Co. is a UK-based, privately held chartered accountancy firm specializing exclusively in medical professionals. Operating under the legal entity Sandison Easson Medical Accountants Limited (Company Number 11919562), the firm is headquartered in Wilmslow, Cheshire, with a secondary office in London (17 Cavendish Square), and serves clients across England. Its service portfolio covers accounting, tax compliance, and financial advisory for GP practices, GP locums, hospital consultants, dental practices, Primary Care Networks (PCNs), and GP registrars, with particular depth in NHS pension planning, Annual Allowance and lifetime allowance management, McCloud Remedy advisory, GP contract financial analysis, and tax investigation defense.

The firm's core technology stack is built on third-party SaaS rather than proprietary platforms: Xero for cloud accounting, Float for GP-practice cashflow forecasting (with daily Xero data syncing), and a Virtual Cabinet client portal for document and account access. Its principal proprietary assets are an extensive content library — including Xero training videos, NHS pension webinars, and checklist resources (GP Checklist 2026, Locum Checklist 2026, Limited Company Checklist 2026) — and a co-branded Making Tax Digital video series produced with the British Medical Association. The firm also runs an active webinar and workshop program delivered by partners and senior staff, including joint webinars with GP Surveyors on succession planning and property.

Commercially, Sandison Easson operates as a sales-led professional services partnership, generating revenue from professional service fees for tax compliance, advisory, and consultancy engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market relies on direct client relationships, thought-leadership content (webinars, blog/news articles, video), and institutional partnerships (notably the BMA) to reach UK medical professionals, with a clearly vertical segmentation strategy that deliberately avoids generalist accountancy work in favor of NHS-specific expertise. The firm is partner-led, with at least five named Partners (Martin Murray, Ian Tongue, Aaron Swinton, Richard Norbury, Alec James) and additional senior staff including a Head of Primary Care Development and dedicated Making Tax Digital Leads.
