Unrivalled financial guidance for GP Practices, Consultants, and the wider healthcare sector.
Specialist medical accountants & Healthcare financial advisory
The healthcare landscape is experiencing a period of intense structural and financial transformation. With rising patient demand, critical GP shortages , and the introduction of the new 'Ten Year Plan', healthcare professionals require a strategic partner who understands the clinical and commercial pressures of modern medicine. At Armstrong Watson, we provide tailored accountancy and advisory services specific to healthcare organisations, helping you navigate volatile funding and increasing regulatory scrutiny.
Our multidisciplinary team covers taxation, payroll, business advisory, accounting, NHS pensions, and practice management to deliver comprehensive, holistic support. For GP Partners managing large-scale practices and NHS Consultants expanding their private work, we look beyond isolated technical advice to provide integrated, strategic foresight.
While our primary focus is supporting the growth and operational stability of primary and secondary care professionals , our regional hybrid structure means we provide national reach with localised expertise across the entire sector. With a dedicated Dental sector team and specialist advisors for Pharmacies, Veterinary Practices, and Care Homes, we provide the clarity and expertise you need to thrive.

Andrea Gibbon
Operations Manager, The Old School Medical Practice
Since commencement of the Covid-19 lockdown, Armstrong Watson proactively engaged with me and my dental business, providing robust financial advice for both. This has been a stressful 12 months but knowing I could contact Morag at any time with any financial queries has been a big help to me.

Dr Charles Strachan
GP Partner
Armstrong Watson have been my accountants since becoming a businesses owner 6 years ago. They helped me throughout the set up and since. The firm has been able to keep me fully informed of any changes in legislation and were a great help in providing advice and set up for staff pensions. Through the hard work of the staff at Armstrong Watson I am able to relax and know that my accounts, pay roll and staff pension are correctly and professionally dealt with leaving me to concentrate on running the best businesses I can.
I would highly recommend Armstrong Watson to sole traders and limited companies alike who are looking for a professional and dedicated accounting firm.
Christopher Sherwin
Church Street Dental Practice
In all my dealings with Graham, I have found him to be exceptionally professional. He has dealt with several complex issues for me, including the merger of several businesses. He is very well supported by a strong team at Armstrong Watson and has been instrumental in allowing me to expand my business to multiple locations. I would highly recommend Graham and Armstrong Watson
Chris Matthews
Silver Link Clinics
Since changing Accountants a little over 18 months ago, we can honestly say that Armstrong Watson have been excellent.
Richard Askew has been brilliant in dealing with our accounts and very supportive in helping us convert to the Xero Accounting software and nothing has been to much hassle for him. The Payroll Department have also been amazing too, especially Lisa Grainger, who deals with our wages.
I would happily recommend Richard and Armstrong Watson to anyone looking for a proactive firm of Accountants and Business advisers
Kelly Hunter
Living for Life (Cumbria) Limited
I have been with this firm since being a newly qualified dentist 25 years ago and have always been pleased with the service that they provide. I find Sharon to be easily approachable and efficient in dealing with any queries that might I have.
I have also recently switched to Armstrong Watson for the running of the payroll of the practice. This had to be carried our at short notice and was very smoothly done.
