The Pow and Thomas Partnership
Specialising in bespoke financial support for general practice
Lending financial expertise to medical businesses
The Pow Thomas Partnership was formed in 2025 by Andy Pow and Melanie Thomas to provide bespoke financial support for GP practices, primary care networks and other healthcare providers.
Our philosophy is to provide board-level financial support differently. We are not a traditional accounting practice and do not produce accounts and tax returns.
Instead, using our combined expertise gained through many years working as healthcare partners at accountancy firms Hall Liddy and Forvis Mazars, we use our sector knowledge and extensive book of industry contacts to unlock the financial issues faced by medical practices today.
Providing a full suite of financial support services
Our long history of working in the medical sector means we have the knowledge to provide a full suite of expert financial support services.
We are flexible in how we work, whether providing an in-house finance support function, collaborating on a premises development plan, or working on a practice merger or dispute resolution project.
