 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

The hospital sector is broad, and the organisations within it rarely look or operate the same way. Private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups can all have quite different accounting requirements depending on their structure, the services they provide, their income streams, staffing arrangements, premises, medical equipment, suppliers and operating costs. A single-site hospital with a small finance function and a multi-site hospital group with several cost centres will need very different levels of reporting and support, which is why our work with Accountants for Hospitals starts with understanding how your organisation actually runs.

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 in Barking, we handle the core accounting work that keeps a hospital’s finances accurate and decision-ready. That includes bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts, payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff, budgeting and cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, and tax and VAT support where it applies. Because hospital costs are rarely simple, we look closely at the areas that shape your numbers — staff costs, medical equipment and capital spend, premises and facilities, supplier and professional services payments, and the different 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.

Accounting Challenges Hospitals Face

Hospitals carry a mix of costs that most businesses never have to manage: significant staff payroll, expensive medical equipment and the capital expenditure that comes with it, premises and facilities overheads, and a steady flow of supplier and professional services payments. Add multiple income streams, tight cash flow cycles and the need for reliable financial reporting, and it becomes clear why general bookkeeping rarely tells the full story. Corporation Tax and VAT can also come into play, and VAT treatment in particular depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances, so it is worth reviewing properly rather than assuming a default position.

We also keep a close eye on the areas that tend to move the numbers most, including medical equipment, premises and facilities, supplier costs and wider operating overheads.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

What is included when you act as Accountants for Hospitals in Barking?

It depends on what your hospital needs, but the everyday work usually covers bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts, payroll, budgeting and cash flow support, financial reporting, and help with Corporation Tax and VAT where those apply. Some hospitals want a substantial outsourced finance function, while others want specific pieces handled properly alongside an existing in-house team. We agree the scope up front, so you know exactly what is included rather than discovering gaps later.

Which types of hospitals do you work with?

We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, along with organisations that have a similar structure and cost profile. Accounting needs vary widely across these — a specialist single-site hospital providing a narrow range of services looks very different from a multi-site operator with several income streams and shared overheads. We do not act for NHS Trusts, NHS Foundation Trusts or other public-sector organisations.

How does pricing work for hospital accounting services?

We use fixed, transparent packages, with fees reflecting the size and complexity of your organisation — things like transaction volume, the number of staff on payroll, how many sites you operate and the level of reporting you need. There are no hidden fees, and you will know the cost before any work begins. If your circumstances change significantly, we will discuss any adjustment with you rather than surprising you with it later.

How do you approach Corporation Tax and VAT for hospitals?

Corporation Tax applies to companies in the usual way, and we help with computations, returns and the associated deadlines. VAT is more nuanced in a hospital setting, because whether a supply is exempt, taxable or outside the scope depends on the nature of the service, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances. Rather than applying a blanket assumption, we review your position and explain how it affects your reporting and cash flow.

Can you manage payroll for clinical and non-clinical hospital staff?

Yes — payroll is one of the largest and most sensitive costs in most hospitals, covering a mix of clinical and non-clinical roles, varied contracts, shift patterns and overtime, pensions and statutory payments. Getting it accurate and on time matters both for your staff and for the reliability of your management information. We can handle the processing alongside the related filings and records, so payroll stays consistent month to month.

How do you deal with medical equipment purchases and capital expenditure?

Medical equipment and facility costs are often substantial and irregular, and how they are treated affects both your accounts and your cash position. We look at whether spending is capital or revenue in nature, how it fits with your budgets, and what it means for profitability and cash flow in the months that follow. Planning ahead for replacement cycles and larger purchases makes it far easier to fund them without straining day-to-day working capital.

We are thinking of switching accountants — how do we get started?

Start with a conversation about your hospital, its structure, its income streams and your current accounting arrangements. From there we review what you have in place, consider your tax and reporting position, and confirm the scope and fee before anything changes. We also manage the transition itself, including requesting the records and information we need from your existing accountant, so you are not left chasing files or paperwork yourself.

Do you provide management accounts and cash flow reporting for hospitals?

Yes. Management accounts and cash flow reporting are often the most valuable part of the service for a hospital, because they show how the organisation is performing between year-end accounts. We can report on income streams, staff and supplier costs, equipment spend and site performance in a format that fits how you make decisions. That means fewer surprises and better information when you need to commit to staffing, equipment or premises.
