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 private hospitals, independent hospitals, day-case and specialist hospital facilities, hospital operators and hospital groups across Thames. Their accounting needs vary considerably depending on how they are structured, the services they provide, their income streams, staffing arrangements, premises, medical equipment and ongoing operating costs. Whether you run a single site or a growing group, the finances behind a hospital are rarely straightforward, and the accounting work should reflect that.

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 cover the day-to-day and year-end work that keeps a hospital’s finances in order — bookkeeping, payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff, management accounts, annual accounts, budgeting and cash flow planning, financial reporting and Corporation Tax where it applies. Because hospital costs sit in very specific places, from medical equipment and premises through to staffing, consumables, professional services and supplier contracts, we approach the numbers with that context in mind. VAT support is also available, with the treatment of hospital-related supplies assessed case by case according to the nature of the supply, the activities involved and the organisation’s status.

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 carry significant fixed costs — premises, facilities, medical equipment and a payroll that is often the largest single outgoing in the business — while income may arrive from several different streams, each with its own timing and terms. That combination puts real pressure on cash flow, particularly when capital expenditure, equipment maintenance and supplier payments fall due in the same period. Reporting can also become difficult to interpret when costs are spread across departments, sites or service lines, and both VAT and Corporation Tax positions need reviewing against the specific circumstances rather than being assumed. This is where accounting support that genuinely understands hospital operations makes a practical difference.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It depends on the size, structure and complexity of your hospital, but in practice it usually covers bookkeeping, payroll for clinical and non-clinical staff, management accounts, annual accounts, budgeting and cash flow planning, financial reporting and tax compliance. VAT support is available where relevant, and the VAT treatment of hospital-related supplies is always reviewed against the specific circumstances rather than assumed. We agree the scope with you up front so you know exactly what is covered.

We work with private hospitals, independent hospitals, day-case and specialist hospital facilities, hospital operators and hospital groups. A single-site hospital with a focused service line has very different accounting needs from a multi-site group with several income streams, and the support is shaped accordingly. If you are unsure whether your organisation fits, it is worth a conversation — the practical answer usually becomes clear quickly.

We use fixed, transparent packages agreed in advance, so you know what you are paying for and when. Pricing reflects the scope of work involved — the size and complexity of the hospital, the number of staff on payroll, the volume of transactions, reporting requirements and any additional compliance work needed. There are no hidden fees, and if your requirements change we discuss any adjustment with you before it happens.

Yes, and they vary considerably from one organisation to the next. VAT treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances, so it is not something that can be answered with a blanket rule. Some hospital-related supplies may be treated differently from others, and mixed or ancillary activities can complicate matters further. We review your position carefully and help you apply the right treatment, including where adjustments such as partial exemption may need to be considered.

Yes. Hospital payroll often involves a mix of clinical and non-clinical employees, varied shift patterns, overtime, enhancements and sometimes agency or locum arrangements, which makes accuracy and timeliness particularly important. We handle payroll processing, payslips, PAYE and the associated reporting obligations so your staff are paid correctly and your records stay in order. This can sit alongside your bookkeeping and management accounts, so the wage bill is properly reflected in your reporting.

Medical equipment purchases, upgrades and replacements need to be treated correctly, which means considering whether a cost should be capitalised, how it is written down over time and what the cash flow impact of paying for it looks like. We help you record and plan for capital expenditure so your accounts give an accurate picture of your hospital's financial position. That also makes it easier to have informed conversations with lenders or investors if you need to fund equipment in future.

Many hospitals earn from more than one source, whether that is treatment fees, contracted work, ancillary services or other activities, and each stream can have its own timing and accounting treatment. Corporation Tax applies where it applies, based on your organisation's structure and taxable profits, so the position needs to be reviewed properly rather than assumed. Good bookkeeping and clear management accounts make that review far more straightforward and reduce surprises at year end.

It is usually simpler than people expect. We review your current records and compliance position, agree what is needed and handle the transition, including communicating with your existing accountant where you are happy for us to do so. Once everything is in place, we set up ongoing bookkeeping, payroll, reporting and tax support around your hospital's requirements and timescales, so the change does not disrupt your operations.
