I highly recommend Imran to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable accountant. He helped me sort out a very complicated backlog of accounts and prepared my overdue tax returns with professionalism and attention to detail. Throughout the process, he was incredibly patient, took the time to answer all of my questions, and explained everything clearly. He guided me through each step and helped rectify issues that had built up over time, making what felt like an overwhelming situation much more manageable. I'm very pleased with the service I've received and truly appreciate his support. If you need help with your accounts or taxes, I would highly recommend Imran.

I had a positive experience with Accotax. The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we’re really glad we did. Their team is great. Abdul is responsive and easy to reach whenever I have a question, which makes a big difference. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. They are very knowledgeable, and when they don’t have the answer straight away, they take the time to look into it and get back to us quickly. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing. She is professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. She's also very quickin getting back to us whenever needed. We’re very happy to work with her and hope to continue doing so for as long as possible. Overall, Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

I have really impressed to date with all dealings with Accotax highly enough. From day one, they've made what can often be a complicated and stressful part of running a business feel straightforward and hassle-free. A special mention has to go to Anum, who has been friendly, incredibly responsive, and genuinely cares about providing the best possible service. No question is ever too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is dealt with efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for an accountant they can genuinely trust.

Hospitals and Hospital Organisations We Support

We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, along with hospital businesses running day-case, diagnostic or treatment facilities. Their accounting requirements vary considerably depending on their structure, the services they provide and how their income is generated, as well as their staffing model, premises, medical equipment, suppliers and operating costs. That means the accounting and tax work has to reflect how the hospital actually runs, rather than being squeezed into a generic template.

Private Hospitals & Day Surgery Units

Insurer and self-pay income reconciliation, consultant fee arrangements, statutory accounts and management reporting by department.

Care Homes & Nursing Homes

Occupancy and fee income tracking, local authority and private resident billing, agency staff cost control and CQC-ready records.

Specialist & Outpatient Clinics

VAT partial exemption on mixed medical and cosmetic work, capital allowances on theatre and imaging equipment, and payroll for clinical teams.

Multi-Site Healthcare Groups

Consolidated accounts, intercompany recharges, group VAT and site-by-site profitability reporting for expanding providers.

Our Accounting Services for Hospitals

As Accountants for Hospitals, we handle both the day-to-day and year-end work that keeps a hospital’s finances in order, including bookkeeping, payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff, management accounts, budgeting and cash flow forecasting, annual accounts and financial reporting. We also provide Corporation Tax support where it applies, along with VAT support on the areas where treatment depends on the nature of the supplies, the activities involved and the organisation’s status. Because hospital businesses carry significant costs in medical equipment, premises, professional services and supplier payments, the numbers need to be tracked in a way that shows what is genuinely happening across each income stream.

Corporation Tax & Capital Allowances

Full expensing and Annual Investment Allowance claims on theatre, imaging and ward equipment, plus group relief and tax planning.

Bookkeeping & VAT Partial Exemption

Healthcare is largely VAT exempt, but cosmetic work, pharmacy sales, catering and room hire are not. We calculate partial exemption correctly.

Statutory & Management Accounts

Companies House and HMRC filings on time, plus monthly management accounts showing income and margin by department or site.

Payroll for Clinical & Agency Staff

Large-volume payroll including bank and agency shifts, unsocial hours, statutory pay and pension auto-enrolment, filed accurately every cycle.

NHS Pension & Consultant Payments

NHS Pension administration and support for consultants on Annual Allowance, plus correct treatment of self-employed consultant fees.

Key Accounting Challenges for Hospitals

Hospitals typically carry a heavy and varied cost base, with payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff, medical equipment and capital expenditure, premises and facilities costs, supplier payments and professional fees all competing for attention. Income may arrive through several different streams, and the timing of that income rarely lines up neatly with when costs fall due, which puts pressure on cash flow and makes accurate budgeting essential. VAT adds a further layer of complexity, since whether VAT applies and at what rate depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances — so it is rarely a case of applying one rule across the board. Getting reliable financial reporting in place helps hospitals understand these pressures clearly and plan around them.

Reporting Built for Boards

Management accounts by department, site or service line, ready for the board pack each month.

Fair, Fixed Fees

Clear pricing agreed up front, so you get full expert service with no hidden extras.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

They look after the accounting and tax work that hospital businesses need in order to stay on top of their finances. In practice that can include bookkeeping, payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff, management accounts, budgeting and cash flow forecasting, annual accounts, financial reporting, and tax support such as Corporation Tax where it applies and VAT where relevant. The aim is to keep records accurate, deadlines met and reporting that genuinely helps you make decisions about staffing, equipment, premises and income streams.

We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, along with hospital businesses running day-case, diagnostic or treatment facilities. The right accounting approach depends on your structure — a single-site independent hospital has different needs from a group operating across several locations — as well as your income streams, staffing model, premises and medical equipment. We take the time to understand those details before recommending how your accounting should be set up.

Typically this covers bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, budgeting and cash flow planning, annual accounts, financial reporting, and tax support including Corporation Tax and VAT where those apply. We also help with the practical side of hospital finances, such as separating different income streams, tracking supplier and equipment costs, and structuring the records so year-end work is not a scramble. What you use can be scaled to the size and complexity of your hospital business.

We work on fixed, transparent packages, so you know what you are paying for before work begins rather than receiving an open-ended bill. Pricing reflects the scope and complexity of what you need — the volume of transactions, the number of staff on payroll, the number of sites, and the level of reporting and tax support required. If your requirements change, we will discuss that openly rather than adding unexpected charges.

We work within UK accounting standards and HMRC requirements, and the rules affecting hospitals do change regularly — from payroll thresholds to VAT treatment and reporting expectations. Keeping on top of those changes is part of the job, and it is one of the reasons hospital businesses choose to work with an accountant rather than handle everything in-house. Before appointing any accountant, it is sensible to ask about their professional body membership, how they manage deadlines and how they keep your records secure.

Corporation Tax applies to companies in the usual way, but the calculations depend on how the hospital business is structured, what its income streams look like and which costs are allowable, particularly around equipment and capital expenditure. VAT is more nuanced: whether VAT applies, and at what rate, depends on the nature of the supplies, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances. Hospital services are not automatically exempt and not automatically taxable, so the treatment needs to be considered case by case.

Yes — payroll is one of the largest cost areas for any hospital, covering clinical and non-clinical staff, varying shift patterns, overtime and pension contributions, and it needs to run accurately and on time. Alongside payroll, we can prepare management accounts and cash flow forecasts that show how staffing, equipment and premises costs interact with incoming income. That visibility makes it easier to plan recruitment, equipment purchases and supplier payments without straining cash flow.

Getting started is straightforward. We will ask about your hospital or hospital business, review your current accounting and tax position, and confirm what support you need and how it will be priced. If you are moving from another accountant, we can manage the handover of records and help make sure HMRC and Companies House deadlines are not missed along the way.
