 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 work with hospitals and hospital businesses of different shapes and sizes, including private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, as well as the trading and property entities that sit alongside them. Their accounting requirements can look quite different from one another, depending on how the organisation is structured, the range of clinical and non-clinical activities it carries out, and the mix of income streams it relies on. Staff costs, premises and facilities, medical equipment, suppliers, professional services and general operating costs all feed into the numbers, which is why the accounting support needs to reflect how the hospital actually runs rather than 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 in Dartmouth, we provide the core accounting and tax services that hospital businesses need to stay on top of their finances throughout the year. That includes bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow planning, financial reporting, and tax support such as Corporation Tax where it applies and VAT support where the treatment of a particular supply is relevant. These services are shaped around hospital-specific demands — staff and contractor costs, medical equipment and capital spending, premises and facilities, supplier payments, professional fees and multiple income streams that may be treated differently for accounting and tax purposes.

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 tend to carry heavy and fairly fixed cost bases: staffing and payroll, premises and facilities, medical equipment and capital expenditure, and a long list of suppliers and professional services that all need paying on time. Alongside that, income can arrive through several different streams with different timings and different accounting and tax treatment, which makes cash flow forecasting and accurate financial reporting genuinely difficult without a clear system behind them. Corporation Tax where it applies and VAT considerations add another layer, since VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances rather than a single blanket rule.

Our Simple 3-Step Process for Hospitals

Our process is deliberately straightforward. First, we take the time to understand your hospital or hospital business — how it is structured, how it operates and what you need from your accounting support. Next, we review your current accounting and tax position, looking at your records, reporting, payroll, income streams, costs and compliance obligations to identify what is working well and what needs attention. From there, we put the right ongoing support in place, whether that is routine bookkeeping and payroll, regular management accounts, year-end reporting or tax and VAT assistance, and adjust 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.

3. Ongoing Support & Updates:

From there, we take care of the ongoing work and keep you updated with reports. You’ll always know what’s happening, and we’re always here to answer your questions, ensuring you have a clear picture of your financial health at all times.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

What is included in your accounting services for hospitals in Dartmouth?

The core service covers bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts, payroll, budgeting and cash flow support, financial reporting, and tax assistance such as Corporation Tax where it applies and VAT support where relevant. In practice, the mix depends on your hospital or hospital business — some organisations want a full outsourced finance function, while others need support with specific areas such as payroll for a large staff team, management reporting for lenders or investors, or help getting year-end accounts prepared accurately and on time. We agree the scope with you up front so it is clear what is covered.

Which types of hospitals and hospital organisations do you work with?

We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators, hospital groups and other hospital businesses, along with related trading or property entities where they form part of the same structure. Accounting needs vary considerably across these organisations depending on their legal structure, the activities they carry out, their staffing arrangements, their premises and equipment, and the number and type of income streams they have. The common thread is that the accounting support has to reflect how the hospital actually operates rather than following a generic template.

How does pricing work for hospital accounting support?

We work on fixed, transparent packages rather than open-ended hourly billing wherever possible, so you know what you are paying for and when. The fee reflects the scope and complexity of the work — for example, the size of your payroll, the volume of transactions, the number of entities involved, whether management accounts are required regularly, and whether VAT or Corporation Tax work is part of the arrangement. There are no hidden extras, and we will always explain what is included before anything is agreed.

How do you make sure the work is done properly and in line with UK requirements?

All work is carried out in line with UK accounting and tax requirements, using records and processes that stand up to scrutiny from HMRC, lenders, investors and other stakeholders. We are happy to talk through our professional registrations, regulatory position and the standards we work to, so you know exactly who is looking after your books before you engage us. If you have existing accountants, we can also work alongside what is already in place during a transition.

What should hospitals know about Corporation Tax and VAT?

Corporation Tax applies where the hospital or hospital business operates through a limited company, and the position depends on your structure, profits and any reliefs or allowances you may be entitled to claim, including on qualifying capital spending such as medical equipment. VAT is more nuanced: treatment depends on the nature of the specific supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the particular circumstances, so it is not accurate to assume that all hospital services are exempt or that all hospital-related supplies are taxable. We review your situation and apply the rules to your actual activities.

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

Yes. Medical equipment and other capital spending often represent significant outlays, and how those costs are recorded, financed and treated for tax purposes affects both your reported position and your cash flow. We can help you plan for major purchases, factor them into budgets and forecasts, keep depreciation and capital allowances records in order, and build a cash flow picture that accounts for the timing of income, payroll, supplier payments and loan or lease commitments.

We already have an accountant. Is switching to you straightforward?

In most cases, yes. We start by understanding your hospital or hospital business and reviewing the accounting and tax position as it stands, then agree what needs to be handed over and how the transition will work. Once records and authorisations are in place, we take over the ongoing work and keep you informed at each stage, so there is no disruption to payroll, reporting deadlines or compliance dates.

How do we get started with accountants for hospitals in Dartmouth?

It starts with a conversation about your hospital or hospital business — your structure, your activities, your income streams, your costs and what you need from an accountant. From there we review your current accounting and tax arrangements and outline the support that would suit you, including scope and pricing, so you can make an informed decision. If you would like to proceed, we agree the details and put the ongoing service in place.
