 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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, as well as the businesses that sit around them, such as day-case and specialist treatment facilities. Their accounting needs are rarely identical, because they can vary depending on how the organisation is structured, the treatments and services it provides, its income streams, staffing model, premises, medical equipment and the suppliers and professional services it relies on. That is why we take the time to understand how your hospital actually operates before recommending how your accounts, payroll and tax work should be handled.

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 the core financial work that keeps a hospital running smoothly, from annual accounts, bookkeeping and management accounts through to payroll, budgeting, cash flow planning and financial reporting. We also support Corporation Tax where it applies, along with tax planning and VAT support where relevant, including help with the VAT questions that come up around different hospital supplies and activities. Crucially, we relate all of this to hospital-specific costs and income, such as clinical and non-clinical staff costs, medical equipment, premises and facilities, supplier payments, professional fees and the mix of income streams your organisation relies on.

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 Hospitals Face

Hospitals often carry heavy, predictable operating costs alongside unpredictable spikes, particularly around clinical staffing, payroll, premises and facilities, medical equipment and capital expenditure, and supplier payments that need to be met on time. On top of that, income can arrive through several different streams and timings, which makes cash flow, budgeting and financial reporting genuinely difficult to keep on top of without robust systems. Tax and VAT considerations add another layer of complexity, since VAT treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances, and Corporation Tax may apply differently depending on how the hospital or hospital group is structured.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

What is included in your accounting service for hospitals?

Support is built around what your hospital or hospital business actually needs, and typically covers bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow planning and financial reporting. Depending on how your organisation is structured and what it does, we can also help with Corporation Tax where it applies, tax planning and VAT support where relevant, including the treatment of different income streams and cost categories. The starting point is always a conversation about your structure, activities, staffing, premises and equipment so that the work we do is genuinely useful rather than just compliant.

Who is this service for?

It is designed for hospitals and hospital businesses, including private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, as well as specialist and day-case facilities with similar operational and financial characteristics. If your organisation employs clinical and non-clinical staff, invests in medical equipment, runs premises and deals with multiple income streams, the accounting and tax questions you face tend to look very different from those of a typical trading company. We are not positioned as a substitute for public-sector finance functions, so if you are unsure whether your organisation fits, the simplest thing is to ask.

How does your pricing work?

We work on fixed, transparent packages agreed in advance, so you know what you are paying for and there are no hidden fees creeping in later. The scope is based on factors such as the size and structure of your hospital business, the number of staff on payroll, the volume of transactions, the complexity of your income streams and the level of reporting and tax support you need. If your requirements change as your organisation grows or restructures, we review the arrangement with you rather than letting it drift.

Are your accountants qualified and compliant?

Our work is carried out in line with UK accounting and tax requirements, including the filing and reporting obligations that apply to your organisation through HMRC and Companies House. Where specific qualifications or professional memberships are relevant to your engagement, we are happy to talk these through openly before you appoint us, so you can make a properly informed decision. Compliance is treated as a baseline rather than a selling point: accounts, payroll and tax filings need to be accurate and on time, and that is how we approach them.

Do hospitals have to charge VAT on their services?

Not necessarily, and there is no blanket answer that applies to every hospital or every supply. VAT treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, which means two hospitals offering apparently similar services can end up with different VAT positions. We help you look at your income streams, cost categories and activities individually, so that VAT is handled correctly and you are not relying on assumptions that could cause problems later.

Can you help with medical equipment, capital expenditure and cash flow?

Yes. Medical equipment and other capital expenditure are often the largest and least flexible commitments a hospital makes, and they need to be planned around payroll, premises costs and supplier payments rather than treated in isolation. We can help you build equipment and investment costs into your budgets, management accounts and cash flow forecasts, so you can see the financial impact of a purchase or upgrade before you commit, and monitor how it affects your position afterwards.

Can you handle payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff?

Yes. Payroll is usually one of the biggest cost lines in any hospital, and it often involves a mix of clinical staff, non-clinical staff, varied contracts, overtime, shift patterns and pensions. We can take that side of things off your plate, making sure employees are paid accurately and on time while the associated tax, National Insurance and pension obligations are handled correctly. Accurate payroll records also feed directly into your management accounts, which makes your reporting more reliable month to month.

How do we get started or switch accountants?

Getting started is a simple conversation about your hospital or hospital business, your current accounting arrangements and what you want to improve. If you are moving from another accountant, we can handle the practical side of the transition, including obtaining the information we need and liaising with your existing adviser where necessary, so the changeover is smooth and nothing gets missed. From there, we agree the scope and the support you need, then get on with keeping your records, payroll, reporting and tax obligations in order.
