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, hospital operators and hospital groups, along with the wider hospital businesses that sit behind them, such as consulting rooms, diagnostics and treatment facilities, and day-case units. Their accounting requirements vary considerably depending on how they are structured, the activities they carry out, and the mix of income streams they rely on. Staff costs, premises, medical equipment, supplier arrangements and day-to-day operating costs all shape what a hospital needs from its accounting and tax support, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works.

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 Dunfermline, we handle the day-to-day and year-end work that keeps a hospital’s finances in order, from bookkeeping and payroll through to annual accounts, management accounts and financial reporting. We also support budgeting and cash flow planning, which matters when staff costs, medical equipment purchases, premises costs and supplier payments all land at different points in the year. Where they apply to your organisation, we can assist with Corporation Tax and VAT support, making sure the treatment of different income streams and supplies is considered properly rather than assumed.

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 typically carry a heavy and predictable cost base in the form of staff payroll, premises and facilities, medical equipment, suppliers and professional services, while income can arrive through several different routes and on different timescales. That mismatch can put real pressure on cash flow, particularly when capital expenditure on equipment or refurbishment is being planned alongside routine running costs. On top of this, financial reporting needs to be accurate and timely enough to support decision-making, and VAT treatment can vary depending on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances, so it is rarely something that can be dealt with using a blanket rule.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It typically covers the core financial work a hospital needs to stay compliant and well informed: bookkeeping, payroll for staff, annual accounts, management accounts, financial reporting, budgeting and cash flow support, along with tax support such as Corporation Tax and VAT where those apply. Because hospitals carry significant staff costs, medical equipment, premises and supplier commitments, the reporting side is often tailored to show how those costs behave over the year, rather than simply producing a set of figures at the year end.

We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, along with hospital businesses such as day-case units, diagnostics and treatment facilities and consulting-room operations. The right approach depends on how the organisation is structured, what activities it carries out and how its income streams are made up. If you are unsure whether your set-up fits, it is worth a conversation before assuming it does not.

Pricing is based on the scope of work your hospital actually needs, taking into account factors such as the number of staff on payroll, the volume of transactions, the number of income streams and the level of reporting required. We work on fixed, transparent packages wherever possible so you know what to expect, with no hidden fees or surprise invoices. The exact package is agreed after we understand your organisation, so the fee reflects genuine requirements rather than a generic starting point.

Yes. Payroll is one of the biggest recurring costs in most hospitals, covering a range of roles, shift patterns and contract types, and it needs to be accurate and on time every period. We can manage payroll processing alongside the wider accounting work, so PAYE, deductions and reporting line up properly with your management accounts and year-end figures rather than being reconciled after the fact.

VAT treatment for hospitals depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, so it is not something that can be answered with a single blanket rule. Some supplies may be treated differently from others, and the position can vary between organisations and between activities. We look at your particular arrangements and income streams before advising, and we do not assume that every hospital, private or otherwise, is in the same position.

Yes. Medical equipment and other capital purchases can be significant, and how they are treated in your accounts affects both your reported position and your tax position. We can help you plan for larger purchases, understand the accounting and tax implications, and factor the timing of expenditure into your cash flow and budgeting so that a major investment does not create unnecessary pressure elsewhere.

Switching is usually more straightforward than people expect. We handle the handover with your existing accountant, obtain the information needed to take over the records, and make sure nothing is missed in the transition. Once we are up and running, we review your accounting and tax position so any outstanding issues are identified early rather than surfacing later.

It starts with a conversation about your hospital or hospital business: how it is structured, how it earns income and what you need from your accounting support. From there we review your current accounting and tax position, then set out the services and package that fit. If you decide to proceed, we agree the scope and take things forward from there.
