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 hospital businesses across Tyne & Wear, including private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators and hospital groups, as well as smaller hospital-based organisations with more focused operations. Their accounting requirements vary considerably depending on how they are structured, the services they provide, the income streams they rely on, and how they manage staffing, premises, medical equipment, suppliers and day-to-day operating costs. Because of that variety, the right accounting approach is rarely a one-size-fits-all package.

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 work that keeps hospital finances in order: annual accounts, bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll, budgeting, cash flow forecasting, financial reporting and tax support, including Corporation Tax and VAT considerations where they apply. We tailor that work to hospital operations, so staff costs, medical equipment, premises and facilities, supplier payments, professional services and multiple income streams are all reflected properly in the numbers. The aim is straightforward — accurate records, clear reporting and fewer surprises when deadlines arrive.

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.

Accounting Challenges Hospitals Face

Hospitals carry heavy fixed costs and complicated cash cycles, with staff payroll, medical equipment and capital expenditure, premises, facilities and supplier payments all competing for the same working capital. Add several income streams, differing payment terms and detailed reporting expectations, and it becomes easy for the financial picture to blur. Corporation Tax and VAT add further layers, and VAT treatment depends on the nature of the supply, the activities involved, the status of the organisation and the specific circumstances — which is why hospital finances often need accounting support that understands how hospitals actually operate.

We help keep financial records accurate, payroll running smoothly, management accounts meaningful and cash flow visible, while staying on top of tax compliance and financial reporting. Support is shaped around the hospital’s own structure, income streams, equipment costs, premises and supplier commitments, so the numbers are useful for decisions rather than just for filing.

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 the hospital or hospital business — how it is structured, how it earns income and where the pressure points sit. From there we review the existing accounting and tax position, including records, reporting and compliance, to identify what needs attention. The final step is ongoing support tailored to the organisation, so bookkeeping, payroll, reporting and tax obligations are handled consistently as the hospital moves forward.

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 core accounting and tax work most hospital businesses need: bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, management accounts, financial reporting, budgeting and cash flow support, along with Corporation Tax and VAT support where those apply to your organisation. Because hospitals differ in structure and activity, we agree the scope with you rather than applying a fixed template, and we can adjust it over time as your operations, income streams or reporting needs change.

We work with private hospitals, independent hospitals, hospital operators, hospital groups and hospital organisations of different sizes. That includes businesses running inpatient or outpatient facilities, day-case and diagnostic services, and hospital groups managing multiple sites. Every one of them tends to have a different mix of income streams, staffing models, equipment costs and premises arrangements, which is why the accounting work is tailored rather than standardised.

Pricing is based on the scope and complexity of the work, so it reflects the number of entities involved, the volume of transactions, payroll numbers, reporting requirements and the level of tax support needed. We use fixed, transparent packages wherever possible so you know what you are paying for, and we explain the scope clearly before anything begins. There are no hidden fees, and if your requirements change we will discuss the impact before proceeding.

Yes. Payroll is usually one of the largest and most sensitive areas for a hospital, covering clinical staff, support staff, shift patterns, overtime, pension contributions and statutory payments. We can manage payroll processing and the associated reporting, and make sure staff costs are recorded accurately in your management accounts and year-end figures so you can see the true cost of your workforce alongside your other operating costs.

VAT for hospitals is genuinely situation-dependent, so we look at the nature of the supplies being made, the activities involved, the status of the organisation and the specific circumstances rather than assuming a blanket position. Some supplies may be treated differently from others, and mixed activities can create apportionment and reporting questions. We review your arrangements and help you apply the treatment that fits your own facts, keeping records that support the position taken.

Yes. Large equipment purchases and capital projects can put real strain on cash reserves, so we help you plan for them rather than react to them. That includes budgeting and cash flow forecasting, reviewing how purchases affect your accounts and tax position, and considering the most sensible way to fund them. We also make sure capital expenditure, depreciation and financing arrangements are reflected properly in your financial reporting so your numbers stay reliable.

Switching is usually more straightforward than people expect. We ask for some basic details and authorisation, contact your existing accountant on your behalf, and take over the records, filing history and outstanding matters. We check the accounting and tax position during the handover so nothing is missed, and then agree a clear plan for the work ahead — bookkeeping, payroll, reporting, accounts and any tax deadlines coming up.

It starts with a conversation about your hospital or hospital business — its structure, how it earns income, the accounting systems in place and what you want to improve. From there we can review your current position and outline what support would look like, including the scope, the reporting you would receive and how the work would be run. There is no obligation at that stage; it is simply a chance to see whether we are the right fit.
