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 in Gateshead

We work with private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups that need reliable accounting support behind the scenes. Their requirements can differ considerably depending on how the organisation is structured, the range of treatments and services it provides, the income streams it relies on, and the scale of its staffing, premises, medical equipment, supplier arrangements and operating costs. Some need help keeping day-to-day records tidy, while others want stronger management information, clearer cash flow visibility or support with tax and reporting obligations.

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 that keep a hospital’s finances in order — annual accounts, bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow forecasting and financial reporting, along with Corporation Tax and VAT support where these apply. That means handling the detail behind staff costs, medical equipment and capital expenditure, premises and facilities, supplier payments, professional services and the different income streams a hospital may generate. The aim is straightforward: accurate records, clear reporting and practical advice you can act 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.

Key Accounting Challenges Hospitals Face

Hospitals carry heavy and often unpredictable cost bases, from staff payroll and medical equipment through to premises, facilities, supplier payments and professional services, and those costs need to be tracked closely against income that may arrive from several different sources. Cash flow can be squeezed when capital expenditure, equipment replacement or seasonal demand land at awkward times, and reporting can become complicated where multiple income streams and cost centres are involved. Tax adds another layer: Corporation Tax treatment depends on how the organisation is structured, while VAT depends on the nature of the supplies made, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances — so blanket assumptions rarely hold up.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It covers the accounting and tax work a hospital or hospital business typically needs: bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, annual accounts, budgeting and cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, and tax support including Corporation Tax and VAT where those apply to your organisation. Because hospitals vary so much, the mix is built around your structure, your income streams and the way you operate day to day, rather than being a fixed package that ignores how your finances actually work.

We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators, hospital groups and other hospital businesses that need accounting support. That includes organisations with a single site and those running multiple locations or trading through more complicated group structures. Their needs can differ widely depending on how they are set up, what services they provide, how many staff they employ and what equipment and premises they maintain, so the first step is always understanding the organisation before recommending how support should look.

Pricing is based on the work your hospital or hospital business actually needs, so it reflects factors such as transaction volumes, payroll size, the number of sites or entities, and the level of reporting and tax support involved. We use fixed, transparent packages where possible, with no hidden fees or surprise invoices, and we explain what is included before anything begins. If your circumstances change, we discuss the impact openly so you are never caught out.

Yes — payroll is one of the most significant cost areas for any hospital, covering a wide range of roles, shift patterns, contracts and pay arrangements. We can manage payroll processing, help with the associated reporting and record keeping, and make sure staff costs are captured accurately in your management accounts so you can see how they compare with budget and income. Reliable payroll information also makes budgeting and cash flow planning far more realistic.

VAT for hospitals is not a simple yes-or-no question. Treatment depends on the nature of the supplies being made, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, which means different income streams and activities can be treated differently. Rather than applying a blanket assumption, we look at what your hospital actually provides and how it is structured, then help you apply the right treatment and keep your records and returns consistent with it.

Absolutely. Medical equipment and other capital expenditure can tie up significant amounts of cash and affect both your reporting and your tax position, so it needs to be planned rather than absorbed as a surprise. We help you track these costs properly, understand how they affect your accounts, and build cash flow forecasts that take expected purchases and replacements into account, so decisions about investment are made with a clear picture of affordability.

Our accounting work is carried out in line with the professional and regulatory standards that apply to UK accountants, including accuracy in reporting, proper record keeping and compliance with relevant tax and filing deadlines. If you want to know how we approach a particular area of tax or reporting for your hospital, we will explain our reasoning and the basis for the treatment clearly, so you are never left guessing about how a figure or position was reached.

It starts with a conversation about your hospital or hospital business, how it is structured and what you need from your accounts and tax support. From there we review your current position, agree the scope of work and handle the practical side of moving across from your existing accountant, including requesting the information we need. Once things are set up, support continues on an ongoing basis and adapts as your organisation changes.
