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 a range of hospital businesses, including private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups. Their accounting requirements vary considerably depending on how the organisation is structured, the services it provides and the way it earns income. Staff costs, medical equipment, premises, suppliers, professional services and multiple income streams all shape the numbers, which is why hospital accounting is rarely a one-size-fits-all exercise.

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 Lewes, we cover the essentials hospital businesses rely on, including annual accounts, bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow forecasting and financial reporting. We can also help with Corporation Tax where it applies, wider tax support and VAT support where relevant, always with an eye on the realities of running a hospital such as staff costs, medical equipment, premises, supplier payments and different income streams. Everything is shaped around how your hospital actually operates rather than a standard template.

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, from staff payroll and medical equipment to premises, facilities and regular supplier payments, and keeping control of cash flow while managing capital expenditure takes careful planning. Financial reporting also becomes more involved when income arrives through several different streams, and Corporation Tax and VAT considerations need to be handled correctly as circumstances change. VAT treatment in particular depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific facts, so it is worth reviewing rather than assuming a blanket position.

Why Hospitals in Lewes Choose CruseBurke

Hospitals need accounting support that keeps the basics in order while still leaving room for useful insight, so CruseBurke focuses on well-maintained financial records, reliable payroll, clear management accounts and accurate financial reporting. We help hospital businesses stay on top of cash flow, tax compliance and the cost pressures created by medical equipment, premises and suppliers, and we explain what the numbers mean in plain English. Support is tailored to your hospital’s structure, income streams and priorities, so you get advice that fits rather than a generic service.

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 getting to know your hospital or hospital business properly, including how it is structured, how it earns income and where the current pressure points sit. From there we review your accounting and tax requirements, look at what is already in place and identify anything that needs tidying up or improving. The final step is ongoing support, whether that means bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts, financial reporting or tax and VAT help, delivered in a way that keeps your finances clear and manageable.

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

Accounting support for a hospital works best when it reflects how that hospital runs, so bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts and financial reporting are all approached with the sector’s cost structure in mind. That includes staff costs, medical equipment, premises, supplier payments and everyday operating expenses, along with the cash flow and budgeting decisions that follow from them. Tax and VAT support can then be handled alongside the day-to-day numbers, so nothing important is left until the last minute.

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.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It depends on what your hospital or hospital business needs, but the core usually covers bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, financial reporting, budgeting and cash flow support. Many hospitals also want help with Corporation Tax where it applies, wider tax support and VAT support where relevant, particularly where income comes from several different streams. We can handle as much or as little as you need, so the service fits the way your organisation already works.

We work with hospital businesses such as private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups. Their accounting requirements differ depending on structure, size, services provided, staffing arrangements, premises, equipment costs and the mix of income they receive. Because of that, we take the time to understand your setup before recommending how your accounting and tax support should be put together.

We use fixed, transparent packages based on the work your hospital actually needs, so there are no hidden fees or vague hourly billing surprises. The scope depends on factors such as transaction volumes, the number of staff on payroll, reporting requirements and whether you need additional tax or VAT support. We will talk through the scope with you first and confirm the fee before any work begins.

Our work is carried out by accountants who follow recognised UK accounting standards and keep up to date with current HMRC requirements and reporting rules. We can talk you through our professional background, the standards we work to and how compliance is managed on an ongoing basis when you get in touch. If your hospital has particular reporting obligations or internal requirements, we can factor those into the service.

VAT treatment for hospitals is not a simple yes or no. It depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, so different income streams and services can be treated differently. We review your position in detail and help you apply the rules correctly, rather than assuming everything is exempt or everything is taxable.

Yes. Payroll is one of the most significant costs for most hospitals, and it often involves a mix of full-time staff, part-time staff, bank or locum arrangements and varying shift patterns. We can manage the payroll process, handle the associated reporting and deductions, and make sure the numbers flow through correctly into your management accounts and annual accounts.

We can support hospital groups, operators and organisations with more than one location or several income streams, where the reporting and tax position becomes more involved. Management accounts can be structured so you can see how each part of the business is performing, while cash flow, budgeting and financial reporting pull everything together. Corporation Tax and VAT considerations are also reviewed in light of the wider group structure.

Getting started is straightforward. We begin with a conversation about your hospital, your current accounting arrangements and what you would like to improve, then review your existing records and requirements. If you are switching from another accountant, we can liaise with them directly to obtain the information we need, so the transition is handled with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations.
