Accountancy and advisory firm Hentons has relaunched its healthcare team with a raft of new hires. The team will be led by Peter McIntyre, a former GP practice manager.
The new team will operate from headquarters in Leeds and a dedicated specialist healthcare office in Sheffield. Mr McIntyre is joined by Minu Bhimsaria, an experienced accounts director, Aruf Rahman, accounts manager in Sheffield and a range of three experienced supporting personnel, making it the largest specialist healthcare team in the region.
Commenting on the relaunch, Peter McIntyre said: “GPs and the wider healthcare sector are often multi-million-pound operations in their own right, and require specialist expertise to support their operations. Hentons combines accountancy services with personal tax and wealth management to provide a holistic view and more rounded advice.”
Hentons recently expanded its payroll services operation to support companies with increased compliance requirements. It has also invested in digital services to help companies transition to cloud-based accounting.
Hentons argue that cuts in funding have increased the need for healthcare companies to become more efficient. The focus of the healthcare team is to provide support and advice on how to achieve more efficient service delivery.
McIntyre said: “Our healthcare team bring a wealth of experience in the sector and work with clients to advise on a range of issues from staffing requirements to efficiency benchmarking and GDPR. It is vital that we continue to invest to ensure we have the skills and experience to guide our clients through a fast evolving sector.”
Hentons works with over 70 GP practices in the Yorkshire and 100 associated healthcare providers.
