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 hospitals and hospital organisations across Lanark, from private and independent hospitals through to hospital operators and small hospital groups running more than one site or service line. Their accounting requirements vary considerably depending on how the organisation is structured, what services it provides, and how its income is generated. Staff costs, premises, medical equipment, supplier arrangements and day-to-day operating costs all shape the accounts, which is why hospital accounting needs to be approached on a case-by-case basis rather than with a one-size-fits-all 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 Lanark, we provide annual accounts, bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, budgeting and cash flow support, financial reporting, and tax and VAT guidance where it applies to your circumstances. These services are shaped around hospital realities such as staff and rota costs, medical equipment purchases, premises and facilities, supplier payments, professional services and the different income streams a hospital may rely on. Whether you need a clean set of year-end accounts or regular management information to steer decisions through the year, the aim is to keep your finances clear and properly supported.

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 typically carry a heavy and predictable cost base — payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff, premises and facilities, medical equipment, consumables and supplier payments — while income can arrive through several different channels at different times. That combination makes cash flow and budgeting genuinely challenging, particularly when capital expenditure on equipment or facility work has to be planned alongside routine running costs. On top of this, Corporation Tax can apply depending on how the organisation is structured, and VAT treatment can differ from one supply or activity to another, so it depends on the nature of the service, how the organisation is set up and the specific circumstances involved.

Why Hospitals in Lanark Choose CruseBurke

Hospitals choose CruseBurke because they want accounting support that keeps pace with the operational side of the business, not just the year-end filing. We help maintain accurate financial records, run payroll, prepare management accounts, monitor cash flow, support tax compliance and report clearly on equipment costs, premises, suppliers and income streams. Because every hospital is structured differently, the support is tailored to your organisation rather than applied from a standard checklist, so the figures you receive are genuinely useful for decision-making.

Healthcare Finance Expertise

We understand NHS funding, insurer income, consultant fee models and care home fee structures.

Reporting Built for Boards

Management accounts by department, site or service line, ready for the board pack each month.

VAT Partial Exemption Handled

We calculate and document the exempt and taxable split so recoverable input VAT is not lost.

Payroll at Scale

Bank shifts, agency cover, unsocial hours and auto-enrolment processed accurately every cycle.

Compliance Without the Stress

Accounts, returns and payroll filed on time, with records that stand up to funder and CQC scrutiny.

Fair, Fixed Fees

Clear pricing agreed up front, so you get full expert service with no hidden extras.

Our Simple 3-Step Process for Hospitals

We start by taking the time to understand your hospital or hospital business — how it is structured, how it earns income, and where the financial pressure points tend to sit. From there we review your current accounting and tax position, including records, payroll, reporting and compliance obligations, so nothing important is missed. We then put the right ongoing support in place, whether that means bookkeeping and payroll, periodic management accounts, annual accounts or wider tax and VAT help.

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.

Accounting Support Built Around Hospitals

Hospital businesses benefit from accounting support that reflects how they actually run — bookkeeping that handles high volumes of transactions, payroll for varied staff arrangements, annual and management accounts that make sense of multiple income streams, and financial reporting that covers equipment, premises, suppliers and operating costs. We also provide cash flow and budgeting support and tax guidance where it applies to your organisation, so you are not left guessing at the year end. The focus is on practical value: accurate records, useful reporting and clear answers when you need them.

Technology Driven

Using the latest technology to offer customised financial strategies that help healthcare practices grow and thrive.

Named Healthcare Accountant

A dedicated accountant who knows your sites, your income mix and your reporting deadlines.

Ongoing Support

Our team is here whenever you need guidance. We offer unlimited support to ensure your financial management is always on point.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

We support private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, as well as hospital businesses running specialist facilities or multi-site services. The accounting needs of each can differ significantly depending on structure, services offered, staffing models and how income is generated, so we tailor our approach to your organisation rather than applying a standard package.

Support can include bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, financial reporting, and tax and VAT guidance where relevant to your circumstances. Many hospital clients combine several of these — for example payroll plus management accounts — while others need a fuller service covering year-end accounts and compliance. We agree the scope with you upfront so you know what is covered.

Pricing is based on the work involved, which depends on factors such as transaction volumes, the number of staff on payroll, how many income streams you have, whether you operate from one site or several, and how much reporting you need. We use fixed, transparent packages where possible, with no hidden fees, and we explain the basis of the fee before any work begins.

Yes. Payroll is often one of the largest costs a hospital carries, and it frequently involves a mix of full-time, part-time, bank and locum arrangements. We can manage payroll processing, payslips, statutory deductions and the associated reporting, helping to keep staff costs accurate and properly recorded in your accounts.

VAT for hospitals is not straightforward, because treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances. Some supplies may be exempt while others are standard-rated or outside the scope, and the position can differ between organisations. We can review your activities and income streams and advise on how VAT is likely to apply to you.

Whether Corporation Tax applies depends on how your hospital or hospital business is structured — for example whether it operates through a limited company. Where it does apply, we can help with preparing and filing the relevant returns, reviewing allowable costs such as equipment, premises and professional fees, and planning ahead so there are no surprises when liabilities fall due.

Yes. Hospitals often face steady, high operating costs alongside income that arrives at different times, which makes cash flow planning especially valuable. We can prepare budgets and forecasts, monitor actual performance against them, and help you plan for significant costs such as medical equipment or facility work without losing sight of day-to-day commitments.

Getting started is straightforward. We begin with a conversation about your hospital, its structure and what you need from an accountant, then review your current position and records. If you are moving from another accountant, we can usually handle the handover on your behalf, and we will confirm the scope of support and fees before anything is finalised.
