Accountants in Oxford — Specialists in Healthcare, Life Sciences & Tech
Oxford is home to some of the UK’s most ambitious businesses — from NHS consultants building private practices to biotech spinouts emerging from the university, and tech founders turning research into real companies. At Magnum Accountancy, we work with Oxford businesses that need more than a generalist accountant. We bring sector knowledge, fixed fees, and a proactive approach that keeps you ahead — not just compliant.
Who We Work With in Oxford
Healthcare & Medical Professionals
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust is one of the largest in the UK, and the number of consultants, GPs, and dentists moving into private practice is growing fast. We help medical professionals navigate the complexities of incorporation, NHS pension planning, private practice accounts, and self-assessment — so you can focus on patients, not paperwork.
Life Sciences & Biotech
Oxford Science Park and the wider Oxfordshire ecosystem are producing world-class biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Whether you’re a university spinout navigating your first grant round or a scaling life sciences business managing complex share schemes, we understand the specific accounting needs of your sector — including R&D tax credits, EMI options, and investor-ready accounts.
Tech Startups & Founders
Oxford’s tech scene is growing rapidly, with a strong pipeline of founders emerging from the university and Oxford Brookes. From day one incorporation decisions through to SEIS/EIS compliance, R&D claims, and your first hire’s payroll — we’ve worked with tech founders at every stage and speak your language.
Property Investors & Landlords
Oxford is the second most expensive city in the UK for property, and the buy-to-let and short-term let market is highly active. We help landlords and property investors with rental income accounts, capital gains planning, Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions, and the increasingly complex question of whether to incorporate your portfolio.
What We Handle for Oxford Businesses
Our services are tailored to the sectors Oxford businesses actually operate in — not a one-size-fits-all package:
- Incorporation & company set-up — getting your structure right from day one
- R&D tax credits — maximising claims for tech and life sciences clients
- EMI share schemes — setting up and administering employee share options
- NHS pension & private practice accounts — specialist knowledge for medical professionals
- Property income & capital gains tax — planning that reduces your liability legally
- VAT returns — including partial exemption for mixed-use businesses
- Self-assessment tax returns — filed accurately, on time, every time
- Monthly bookkeeping & management accounts — so you always know where you stand
- Payroll — handled for you, including auto-enrolment
Remote Accountancy That Actually Works
We work 100% remotely with clients across Oxford and Oxfordshire. All meetings are via video call, documents exchanged through our secure client portal, and a named accountant who knows your business — without ever needing to drive to an office or sit in a waiting room.
Our Oxford clients tell us the remote model actually works better — faster communication, no wasted travel time, and an accountant who’s available when you need them rather than when you can get an appointment.
