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 work with private hospitals, independent hospitals, day-case and specialist hospital operators, and hospital groups of varying sizes. Their accounting requirements differ widely depending on how the organisation is structured, the treatments and services it provides, its income streams, staffing model, premises, medical equipment and supplier arrangements. Because of that, the support we provide is shaped around how each hospital actually operates rather than applied from 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 cover the core areas hospital businesses need most — annual accounts, day-to-day bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll for clinical and administrative teams, budgeting and cash flow forecasting, and clear financial reporting that owners and directors can actually use. We also handle Corporation Tax where applicable, along with broader tax and VAT support, taking into account the different income streams a hospital may have and the significant costs it carries, from medical equipment and premises to suppliers, professional services and staffing. The aim is straightforward: accurate records, sensible tax positions and financial information that helps you make decisions with confidence.

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 carry substantial fixed and variable costs — staff payroll across clinical and non-clinical roles, medical equipment and capital expenditure, premises and facilities, insurance, and a long list of supplier and professional service payments — and keeping all of that properly recorded and controlled takes real discipline. Cash flow can be uneven where income arrives from multiple streams on different cycles, which makes forecasting and budgeting genuinely important rather than a box-ticking exercise. On top of that, financial reporting needs to be clear enough for directors, lenders and stakeholders, and Corporation Tax and VAT treatment can be more involved than many businesses expect, since VAT depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances.

A Simple 3-Step Process for Hospitals

We keep things straightforward. First, we take the time to understand your hospital or hospital business — how it is structured, how it earns income, and where the financial pressure points sit. Second, we review your current accounting and tax position so we know what is working well and what needs attention. From there, we put the right ongoing support in place, whether that is bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, tax or VAT work, and adjust it as your circumstances change.

1. Initial Consultation (It’s Free):

We begin by getting to know your practice and understanding your unique needs. This step ensures we have a clear picture of your operations and your goals.

2. Customised Plan:

Based on our initial discussion, we create a personalised plan designed specifically for you. The aim is to keep everything organised and easy to follow. You can rest assured that your numbers are being handled with expert precision.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It covers the accounting and tax work most hospitals and hospital businesses need, including bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, budgeting and cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, Corporation Tax where applicable, and tax and VAT support where relevant. What we do for you depends on your structure, the size of your operation and how much of the finance function you want to keep in-house. Some hospitals want a full service; others want help with specific areas such as payroll or year-end accounts.

We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, day-case and specialist hospital operators, and hospital groups. The accounting requirements vary considerably between them — a single-site independent hospital has a very different profile from a multi-site hospital group with several income streams and a larger cost base — so we tailor the support rather than applying the same approach to everyone.

Yes. Payroll is one of the largest and most time-consuming areas of hospital finance, covering clinical and non-clinical staff, varied shift patterns, overtime and a range of contract types. We can manage payroll end to end, including payslips, PAYE and reporting obligations, and make sure the figures feed correctly into your management accounts and annual accounts so staff costs are properly reflected in your overall financial picture.

Most private and independent hospitals operating through a limited company will be within the scope of Corporation Tax, and the amount due depends on taxable profits after allowable expenses and any reliefs that apply. Because hospitals carry significant costs — medical equipment, premises, staffing and professional services — getting the treatment of those costs right matters. We prepare and file returns, look at what can legitimately be claimed, and plan ahead so there are no unwelcome surprises.

VAT treatment for hospitals is not a simple yes-or-no answer. It depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, and different activities within the same hospital can be treated differently. It is also worth noting that private hospitals and NHS hospitals do not automatically have identical accounting or tax treatment. We look at your particular situation and help you apply the rules correctly rather than working from assumptions.

Yes, and for hospitals this is often the most valuable part of the service. Management accounts give you a regular, accurate view of income, staff costs, equipment spending, premises and supplier payments, while budgeting and cash flow forecasting help you plan for capital expenditure and manage the uneven timing of income across different streams. Reliable reporting makes it much easier to spot problems early and make informed decisions about growth, investment or cost control.

We work on fixed, transparent packages agreed in advance, so you know what you are paying for and why. The scope of your package reflects the work involved — the number of entities, payroll size, reporting requirements and the level of tax and VAT support you need — rather than a generic rate applied to every hospital. We would rather agree the scope and price up front than send unexpected invoices later.

Getting started is straightforward. We begin with a conversation about your hospital or hospital business and your current accounting arrangements, then review what is already in place. If you are switching accountants, we can handle the handover with your existing firm so records, deadlines and filings continue without disruption. From there we agree the scope, put the support in place and build a routine that works for your operation.
