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, along with the wider hospital businesses that sit behind them. Their accounting needs differ considerably depending on structure, activities and scale, along with income streams, staffing arrangements, premises and facilities, medical equipment, supplier relationships and day-to-day operating costs. Because of that, the accounting support that fits one hospital organisation may not suit another, and the work needs to reflect the realities of how each one runs.

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 core financial work that hospital businesses rely on, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow planning and financial reporting. That also means handling Corporation Tax where it applies, along with VAT support where relevant, with the detail shaped by the nature of the supplies being made and the status of the organisation. We keep hospital-specific costs in mind too, such as staff wages, medical equipment, premises, professional services, supplier payments and the different streams of income a hospital may receive.

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 tend to carry heavy, fairly predictable cost bases alongside income that can be far less predictable, so payroll for clinical and support staff, medical equipment and capital expenditure, premises and facilities costs, and supplier payments all need careful planning. That combination puts real pressure on cash flow, particularly when equipment has to be financed or replaced, or when income arrives unevenly across the year. Reporting can be equally demanding, because several income streams, Corporation Tax where applicable and VAT considerations all need to be tracked accurately, and VAT treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the organisation’s status and the specific circumstances rather than a single blanket rule.

We understand that costs such as medical equipment, premises, supplier payments and staff wages need to be reflected clearly in the numbers, and that reporting should help you make decisions rather than simply satisfy a filing deadline. Support is tailored to the structure and activities of each hospital organisation, so the work fits the business rather than the other way around.

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

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.

A Simple 3-Step Process for Hospitals

We start by understanding the hospital or hospital business itself, including how it is structured, how it earns income and where its main costs sit. From there, we review the accounting and tax requirements that apply, looking at record keeping, payroll, reporting, equipment and premises costs, tax obligations and any VAT considerations. That gives us a clear picture for putting ongoing support in place that keeps the numbers accurate, the deadlines met and the reporting genuinely useful to you.

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.

FAQs About Accountants for Hospitals

It covers the financial work most hospital organisations need throughout the year, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow planning and financial reporting. We also handle Corporation Tax where it applies and provide VAT support where relevant, with the approach tailored to your structure, activities and income streams. The exact mix can be adjusted to suit you, so a hospital group with several sites may need a broader scope than a single independent hospital.

They are designed for hospitals and hospital businesses, including private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups. That covers organisations with clinical staff, facilities, medical equipment and complex supplier arrangements, where the accounting needs go well beyond standard small business bookkeeping. If your organisation is a hospital or operates within a hospital business, the support is structured around those requirements rather than a generic set of services.

We work on fixed, transparent packages so you know what you are paying for and why, with no hidden fees or unexpected extras appearing later. The price reflects the scope and complexity of the work, which varies depending on factors such as the number of sites, the size of your payroll, the volume of transactions, equipment financing and the level of reporting you need. We scope everything before we begin so the fee is agreed upfront, and we will always discuss it with you before any work starts.

The firm is supervised for anti-money laundering purposes as required of UK accountancy practices, and we are happy to confirm our professional registrations and the credentials of the team directly with you when you get in touch. It is sensible to check that any accountant you appoint is properly regulated and accountable to a recognised professional body, so we would always encourage you to ask those questions of us or anyone else you are considering.

VAT treatment for hospitals varies and depends on the nature of the supplies being made, the activities involved, the organisation's status and the specific circumstances. There is no single rule that applies to everything a hospital does, and NHS hospitals and private hospitals do not automatically receive identical treatment. We look at your particular activities and income streams, review how VAT affects them, and help you keep the treatment consistent and properly documented.

Yes. Payroll is often one of the biggest cost areas for a hospital, covering clinical staff, administrative teams and support roles, sometimes across multiple shift patterns and pay arrangements. We can run payroll, handle the associated reporting and deductions, and make sure staff costs are recorded accurately in your management accounts so you can see the real picture of your staffing expenditure as it develops through the year.

Medical equipment is a significant area for most hospitals, because purchases are often large, occasionally financed, and need to be reflected correctly in your accounts and tax position. We help you track capital expenditure, understand how it affects your reported results and cash flow, and plan for replacement or upgrading cycles so a major purchase does not create an unexpected squeeze. It is one of the areas where proper planning makes the biggest practical difference to a hospital's finances.

Getting started is straightforward. We begin with a conversation about your hospital or hospital business, what you currently have in place and what you need from an accountant, then review your accounting and tax requirements and agree a scope of work. If you are moving from another accountant, we can handle the practical side of the transition with you, including obtaining the records and information needed to pick up where your previous adviser left off.
