Dr Ed Cantelo and Dr Tommy Perkins

GP's and founders of Medics' Money

Ed and Tommy founded Medics’ Money after a chance encounter in A&E on a gloomy evening. With Ed’s PWC chartered accountancy background prior to medical school, he’d been helping out countless colleagues with their tax returns and associated questions. Tommy and Ed were both doing this more and more frequently until it became apparent that a broader platform was needed. At an office in Chichester, Medics’ Money was born.

Today, Medics’ Money serves to empower doctors with up-to-date and useful guides on topics such as claiming professional expenses and checking your tax code. Simultaneously, when things become slightly more complicated (as they often do) they wanted to be able to vet and promote the very best specialist medical accountants, IFAs, and mortgage advisers, and match them to each individual doctor. Through their unique algorithm, doctors can select exactly what they need help with, and they will be matched to the most suitable adviser. Medics’ Money has helped well over 6,000 doctors to get the very best specialist advice, taking their reach well beyond the A&E ward where Tommy and Ed met.

Medics’ Money have since cultivated a podcast which has had 38,000 downloads per month and run a wildly popular ‘New to Partnership’ course teaching new partners in GP practices everything they need to know about running a business.
