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 that need accounting support shaped around how they actually run. A single-site private hospital, a small independent hospital and a multi-site hospital group can have very different accounting requirements depending on their structure, activities, income streams, staffing arrangements, premises, medical equipment, suppliers and operating costs. Our role is to make sense of those differences so your financial records, reporting and tax position reflect the reality of your hospital business rather than 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 the core accounting services hospital businesses need day to day and year to year, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, financial reporting and VAT support, along with Corporation Tax support where it applies to your structure. These services are delivered with hospital costs in mind, from staff wages and clinical contractor arrangements through to medical equipment, premises, facilities, suppliers, professional services and the different income streams a hospital may generate. The aim is straightforward: accurate records, clear reporting and a tax position you can rely on, so you can spend more time running the hospital.

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 heavy fixed costs, with staff payroll, medical equipment, premises, facilities, supplier payments and professional fees all competing for cash, while income may arrive from several different streams at different times. Capital expenditure on equipment and facilities adds further pressure, since spending up front does not always line up neatly with the income it supports, and that makes cash flow forecasting and budgeting genuinely important rather than optional. There are also reporting and tax considerations to manage, including Corporation Tax where applicable and VAT treatment that depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances. Good accounting support helps hospitals keep visibility over all of this instead of discovering problems at year end.

Our Simple 3-Step Process for Hospitals

We keep things simple. First, we take the time to understand your hospital or hospital business — how it is structured, how it earns income and where the main costs sit.

Accounting Support Built Around Hospitals

We also help with tax support, taking into account the cost of medical equipment, premises, suppliers and the day-to-day operating costs that shape your margins and your cash position. The focus is practical value: clear records, useful reporting and advice you can act on.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It covers the accounting and tax work a hospital or hospital business typically needs, including bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, financial reporting, budgeting, cash flow support, VAT support and Corporation Tax support where it applies to your structure. Because hospitals vary so much, the exact mix depends on your size, how you are set up and whether you operate a single site or several. We agree the scope with you up front so you know what is covered.

We work with private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, along with hospital businesses that provide clinical and support services. Their requirements differ considerably depending on their structure, activities, income streams, staffing, premises, medical equipment and supplier arrangements, so we shape the accounting support around those specifics rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

We work on fixed, transparent packages agreed in advance, so you know what you are paying for before the work begins. Pricing reflects the scope involved, such as the number of income streams, payroll volume, reporting frequency and the level of support you need. There are no hidden fees, and if your requirements change during the year we discuss any adjustment with you rather than surprising you with a bill.

We provide professional accounting and tax services and work within the relevant UK rules and regulations that apply to your circumstances. If you have specific compliance requirements, professional body expectations or reporting obligations, we can talk these through with you as part of the initial review so the work is set up correctly from the start.

Common areas include payroll for a varied workforce, capital expenditure on medical equipment and facilities, premises and facilities costs, supplier payments, cash flow timing and reporting across multiple income streams. Corporation Tax may apply depending on how the hospital business is structured, and VAT treatment is rarely as simple as people assume: it depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances. We look at your position individually rather than applying blanket assumptions.

Yes. Payroll is often one of the largest costs in a hospital, so accurate, timely payroll processing matters, including the different pay arrangements you may have across clinical and support roles. Management accounts give you regular visibility over income and expenditure, and cash flow forecasting helps you plan for equipment purchases, facilities costs and quieter trading periods before they put pressure on the business.

Switching is usually more straightforward than people expect. We can review your current position, liaise with your existing accountant where needed and manage the handover of records, deadlines and filings so nothing is missed. If your accounts are already prepared, we pick up from that point; if there is catching up to do, we will tell you honestly what is involved before you commit.

Get in touch and tell us about your hospital or hospital business, including how it is structured, how you earn income and what you need help with. We will review your accounting and tax requirements, explain how we would support you and set out a fixed, transparent package. From there, we put the arrangement in place and take on the work, fitting around your existing systems and processes wherever possible.
