 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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 across South East London, as well as smaller hospital businesses running specialist facilities or treatment centres. Their accounting needs vary considerably depending on how the organisation is structured, the activities it carries out, the range of income streams it receives and the scale of its staffing, premises, medical equipment, suppliers and professional services. Our role as Accountants for Hospitals is to make sense of those differences and put financial reporting and tax compliance in place that actually reflects how each hospital operates.

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 handle the core accounting work that keeps a hospital financially organised, including annual accounts, bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow planning and financial reporting. We also support Corporation Tax where applicable, along with tax and VAT support where relevant to the supplies and activities involved. Everything is framed around hospital realities such as staff costs, medical equipment, premises and facilities, supplier payments, professional services and the different income streams a hospital may generate.

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 typically carry significant fixed costs, from staff payroll and clinical wages through to premises, facilities, medical equipment and ongoing supplier payments, and those costs rarely move in a straight line. Capital expenditure on equipment and facilities can put real pressure on cash flow, while multiple income streams can make accurate financial reporting and budgeting more involved than it first appears. Corporation Tax and VAT considerations add another layer of complexity, since VAT treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved and the organisation’s status, so hospitals often benefit from accounting support that understands their operational and financial requirements.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

Who are Accountants for Hospitals in South East London designed for?

They are aimed at hospitals and hospital businesses, including private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, as well as smaller hospital organisations running specialist or treatment-focused facilities. What these businesses have in common is a cost structure built around staff, premises, medical equipment and suppliers, plus income streams that can be more varied than they first appear. If your organisation operates as a hospital, the accounting and tax work tends to raise similar themes, and that is what our support is shaped around.

What is included in your accounting services for hospitals?

The core work covers annual accounts, bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow planning and financial reporting, with Corporation Tax support where applicable and tax and VAT support where relevant. In practice this means keeping records accurate, making sure payroll reflects the mix of clinical and non-clinical staff, producing management information you can actually use for decisions, and keeping filings and deadlines on track. We build the scope around your hospital's structure, income streams and operating costs rather than applying a fixed template.

How does pricing work for hospital accounting support?

Pricing is based on the scale and complexity of your hospital or hospital business, so we look at factors such as structure, number of locations, staffing levels, income streams, equipment and the level of support you need before setting anything out. We work on fixed, transparent packages wherever possible, with no hidden fees and no surprise invoices for work you did not agree to. If your requirements change as the hospital grows or restructures, we review the arrangement with you rather than leaving you guessing.

Can you help with payroll for hospital staff?

Yes. Payroll is one of the most demanding areas for hospitals because of the volume of staff, varied shift patterns, different pay rates and the mix of clinical and non-clinical roles. We help make sure employees are paid accurately and on time, that deductions and pension contributions are handled correctly, and that payroll records line up with your wider accounts. That matters both for staff confidence and for the reliability of your management accounts and budgeting.

What tax considerations should a hospital be aware of?

Corporation Tax applies where a hospital business operates through a company, and the way profits are calculated depends on how income and costs are treated, including equipment, premises and staffing expenditure. VAT is more nuanced than many people assume: treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, so it is not a case of everything being exempt or everything being taxable. We review your position and explain what applies to your situation rather than offering blanket answers.

How do you handle medical equipment and capital expenditure?

Medical equipment and facilities spending often involves significant outlay, and how it is treated for accounting and tax purposes affects your reported position and your tax bill. We help record capital expenditure correctly, consider reliefs and allowances where they apply, and plan the timing of larger purchases so cash flow stays manageable. This links directly into budgeting and financial reporting, so you can see the impact of investment decisions before you commit to them.

We are thinking of switching accountants. How do we get started?

Getting started is straightforward: get in touch, tell us about your hospital or hospital business, and we will review your current accounting and tax position to work out what you need. If you decide to move forward, we can help coordinate the handover from your existing accountant so records, filings and payroll continue without disruption. From there, ongoing support is put in place around your reporting cycle, deadlines and the areas where you want the most visibility.
