FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals
It covers the core financial work a hospital or hospital business needs on an ongoing basis, including bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, budgeting, cash flow forecasting and financial reporting. Alongside that, we support Corporation Tax where applicable, general tax matters and VAT where relevant. Because hospitals vary so much in size and structure, the exact mix is agreed with you rather than fixed in advance, so you get the level of support that suits your operation.
We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators, hospital groups and the businesses that run alongside them. What they have in common is a set of financial characteristics — significant staff costs, expensive medical equipment, premises and facilities, a range of suppliers and professional services, and usually more than one income stream. Their accounting requirements still differ depending on structure, activities and scale, so we take the time to understand each one individually.
We work on fixed, transparent packages rather than open-ended hourly billing, so you know what you are paying for and there are no hidden fees. The fee reflects the scope and complexity of the work — things like the number of staff on payroll, the volume of transactions, the number of income streams and the level of reporting you need. We will always explain what is included before anything begins, so there are no surprises later.
Yes. Payroll is usually one of the largest and most sensitive areas for a hospital, covering a wide range of roles, shift patterns and pay arrangements. We can manage the payroll process end to end, including payslips, real-time reporting to HMRC and the associated record keeping, and we can provide the payroll figures in a form that feeds cleanly into your management accounts and budgeting.
Corporation Tax applies where the hospital operates through a limited company, and the position depends on how profits are calculated and what reliefs or allowances may be available, particularly around medical equipment and capital expenditure. VAT is more nuanced: the treatment of hospital-related supplies depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, and it is not accurate to assume all hospital services are exempt or all hospital supplies are taxable. We review the actual position rather than applying broad assumptions.
Yes, and this is often where hospitals feel the most pressure. Large items such as medical equipment, refurbishment or new facilities can consume significant cash long before they generate a return. We help build budgets and cash flow forecasts that show when money is likely to go out and come in, so investment decisions can be made with a clearer picture of what the finances can support.
Switching is usually far less disruptive than people expect. We handle the transition with you, contacting your existing accountant to obtain the records and information needed and making sure there is no gap in compliance or reporting. Once everything is in place, we review the position and agree how the ongoing support should work for your hospital going forward.
It starts with a conversation about your hospital or hospital business — how it is structured, how it earns income, how many staff you employ and what you need from an accountant. From there we review the current accounting and tax position and set out a clear, fixed-fee scope of work. If it looks like a good fit, we agree the details and put the ongoing support in place.
