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 support hospitals and hospital businesses across a range of structures, from private hospitals and independent hospitals to hospital operators and hospital groups. Their accounting requirements can differ significantly depending on how the organisation is set up, the services it provides, its income streams, staffing arrangements, premises, medical equipment and ongoing operating costs. Because of that, the support needs to reflect how a hospital actually runs rather than being squeezed into 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, we provide annual accounts, bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, Corporation Tax support where applicable, wider tax guidance and VAT support where relevant. These services are shaped around hospital operations, including staff costs, medical equipment, premises, supplier payments, professional services and the different income streams a hospital may generate. The aim is straightforward: keep records accurate, keep reporting useful and keep tax obligations under control.

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 for Hospitals

Hospitals often carry significant operating costs, including staff payroll, medical equipment and capital expenditure, premises and facilities, and regular payments to a wide range of suppliers. Alongside that, income may come from several streams, which makes cash flow, budgeting and financial reporting more complex than in many other businesses. Corporation Tax and VAT considerations also need careful handling, since VAT treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances rather than a single blanket rule.

CruseBurke works with hospital organisations on cash flow, budgeting, tax compliance, medical equipment costs, premises, suppliers and financial reporting, tailoring the approach to how each hospital operates. The focus is on clear, practical support that fits the realities of the hospital sector rather than a one-size-fits-all service.

Our Simple 3-Step Process for Hospitals

We start by understanding your hospital or hospital business — how it is structured, what it does and where the financial pressure points tend to sit.

Practical Accounting Support Built Around Hospitals

Accounting support for a hospital has to work around its actual operations, so we shape our services accordingly — bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, financial reporting, cash flow and tax support. We take account of medical equipment, premises, suppliers and operating costs, and we factor in the different ways a hospital generates income. The result is reporting and compliance that reflects the business as it really is.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It covers the core accounting and tax work most hospitals and hospital businesses need: bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, financial reporting, budgeting, cash flow support, Corporation Tax where applicable, wider tax guidance and VAT support where relevant. Because hospitals have particular cost structures and income streams, the mix of work is tailored to your organisation rather than applied in a standard package. We can take on the full finance function or focus on specific areas where you need additional support.

We work with private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, along with the hospital businesses that support them. Their accounting needs vary depending on how the organisation is structured, the services it provides, its staffing arrangements, its premises and equipment, its suppliers and how its income is generated. We take the time to understand those details so the accounting support fits the organisation, rather than assuming every hospital operates in the same way.

Pricing is based on the scope of work involved — the size and structure of your hospital or hospital group, the volume of transactions, payroll numbers, reporting requirements and the level of tax support you need. We set out a fixed, transparent fee for the agreed work so you know what to expect, with no hidden extras. If your requirements change over time, we review the arrangement with you rather than leaving you with a fee that no longer reflects the work.

Yes. Our team works to professional accounting and tax standards, keeps up to date with UK reporting and compliance requirements, and handles your information with appropriate confidentiality. We prepare accounts and returns carefully, keep clear records of what has been submitted and explain the position in plain English so you understand what has been done and why. If something in your circumstances raises a compliance point, we will flag it to you rather than leaving it unaddressed.

The main ones tend to be staff payroll, medical equipment and capital expenditure, premises and facilities costs, supplier payments, multiple income streams and the cash flow pressure that comes with them. Corporation Tax applies to companies and needs to be planned for properly, and VAT needs careful consideration because treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances — not on a simple blanket rule. Good reporting and budgeting are usually what make those issues manageable.

Yes. Multiple income streams combined with substantial fixed costs make cash flow and financial reporting more demanding, so we focus on getting the records right and turning them into reporting you can actually use. That typically means clear management accounts, realistic budgeting, cash flow forecasting and a proper view of where the money is going across staffing, equipment, premises and suppliers. The goal is to give you reliable information for decisions rather than figures that arrive too late to be useful.

Switching is usually simpler than people expect. We ask for some basic information about your hospital or hospital business, review the current position, and liaise with your existing accountant to obtain the records we need, including accounts, tax returns and bookkeeping data. We then check everything is in order, confirm what needs to be filed and when, and take over the ongoing work. You do not need to manage the handover yourself — we handle the practical side so the transition stays straightforward.

Get in touch and tell us about your hospital or hospital business — how it is structured, what support you are looking for and any deadlines or issues you are dealing with. We will talk through your accounting and tax requirements, explain how we would approach the work and set out a clear, fixed fee for the agreed scope. From there, we agree the next steps and get the onboarding under way, so you have proper accounting support in place without unnecessary delay.
