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

Hospitals come in many shapes, and the accounting support they need rarely looks identical from one organisation to the next. Private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups all have different structures, income streams, staffing models, premises, medical equipment and supplier arrangements, and those differences shape how the numbers should be recorded, reported and reviewed. We work with hospital businesses whose requirements vary depending on their activities, size and how they are set up.

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 cover the core financial work that keeps a hospital business on track — annual accounts, bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, Corporation Tax where applicable, wider tax support and VAT support where relevant. That work is shaped around hospital realities such as staff costs, medical equipment, premises and facilities, supplier payments, professional services and multiple income streams, so the figures you see reflect how your organisation actually operates rather than a template borrowed from another sector.

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

Hospital businesses tend to carry heavy, fairly predictable cost bases — staff payroll, premises and facilities, medical equipment, consumables and a long list of suppliers — alongside income streams that can arrive on their own timetable. That combination puts steady pressure on cash flow and makes accurate, timely financial reporting essential rather than optional, especially when capital expenditure needs planning well ahead. Corporation Tax where applicable, VAT considerations that depend on the nature of each supply, the activities involved and the organisation’s status, and the sheer volume of transactions all add further layers that call for accounting support familiar with how hospitals actually run.

The focus throughout is practical value: accurate records, clear reporting and support that answers the questions hospitals actually ask.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It covers the core financial work a hospital or hospital business needs throughout the year. Typically that means bookkeeping, payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff, management accounts, annual accounts, financial reporting, budgeting and cash flow support, along with Corporation Tax where it applies, wider tax support and VAT support where relevant. Because hospitals differ in structure, size and activity, the exact mix is agreed around your organisation rather than fixed in advance for everyone.

We work with hospitals and hospital businesses — private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups — as well as hospital-based facilities whose accounting needs follow a similar pattern, such as day-case or diagnostic units. What matters is that the work is hospital-focused: staffing, premises, medical equipment, suppliers, multiple income streams and the reporting those bring. If you are unsure whether your organisation fits, it is worth a conversation before you decide anything.

Pricing is set out in fixed, transparent packages rather than open-ended hourly billing that leaves you guessing. It reflects the scope of work your hospital needs — the number of staff on payroll, the volume of transactions, the reporting you require and any tax or VAT work involved. You will know what is included and what is not before anything is agreed, there are no hidden fees, and the arrangement can be adjusted as your organisation grows or changes. The goal is predictability, so accounting support can be budgeted for alongside your other operating costs.

Your work is handled by an experienced UK accounting team working to recognised professional standards, and the compliance details of the people looking after your affairs are available on request. We keep up to date with UK accounting, tax and reporting requirements as they change, and we are clear about what we do and do not advise on. Where a hospital's circumstances raise something outside our remit, we will tell you rather than guess at an answer.

VAT for hospitals is not a single answer. The treatment depends on the nature of each supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, and it should not be assumed that NHS and private hospital arrangements are treated identically. Some supplies may be exempt, others standard-rated or outside the scope, and mixed activities can make this genuinely complex. We look at what your hospital actually does and help you apply the rules as they affect you.

Yes. Staff costs are usually one of the largest items in a hospital's accounts, spanning clinical and non-clinical teams, varied shift patterns and a range of contract types, so payroll needs to be accurate and on time every period. We can handle payroll processing, payslips, RTI submissions and the associated reporting, and make sure the payroll figures feed properly into your management accounts, budgets and annual accounts rather than sitting in a separate system.

Medical equipment and capital expenditure need careful treatment, from how purchases are recorded and depreciated to how they affect cash flow, tax and future budgets. We can help you plan major purchases alongside your day-to-day operating costs, reflect them correctly in your accounts and financial reporting, and consider the tax position where relevant, so equipment decisions do not come as an unwelcome surprise to your finances later in the year.

Getting started is straightforward. Tell us about your hospital or hospital business and what you need help with, and we will review your current position, including how your records, payroll and reporting are handled today. If you are moving from another accountant, we can manage the handover and the correspondence with them, then agree a clear scope and fixed pricing before any work begins.
