Management accounts that show profit per surgery, per associate and per income stream, so you can see exactly where the practice makes money.
Dental accounting can involve more than standard bookkeeping because income, expenses and business structures often vary between dentists. A self-employed associate, a principal dentist running a practice and a limited company owner may each have different reporting and tax obligations, so the points below are general considerations rather than a checklist that applies to everyone.
We know UDAs, superannuation, associate agreements and GDC costs without being told.
Associates, principals and multi-site groups each get a different service, not a template.
One agreed monthly fee with no hourly billing and no surprises at year end.
Incorporation reviews, capital allowances on equipment and profit extraction planned in advance.

Accountants for Dentists in Blaenavon can help with the accounting and tax work that dental professionals commonly need, such as Self Assessment, tax returns, bookkeeping, annual accounts and business accounting. Depending on your circumstances, support may also cover payroll, VAT, Corporation Tax, partnership accounts, dental practice accounting and tax planning. Not every dentist needs every service, so the right scope depends on whether you are employed, self-employed, an associate, a principal or a practice owner.
Many associate dentists are treated as self-employed for tax purposes and may need to report their income through Self Assessment, but this depends on the terms of your engagement and your individual circumstances. If you are employed, your tax position can be different. An accountant can review your contract, income sources and expenses to help you understand what needs to be reported and which records you should keep.
Yes. Dental income can come from NHS work, private treatments, associate sessions, practice profits or other sources, and it may need to be recorded and reported correctly. We can help organise your bookkeeping and accounts so that different income streams are clear, and we can consider the tax and VAT implications where they apply. The treatment can vary depending on your business structure and the services you provide.
Potential expenses can include indemnity insurance, professional registration and subscriptions, training relevant to your work, necessary equipment, and other costs incurred wholly and exclusively for your dental business, provided the usual tax rules are met. What is allowable can differ between self-employed dentists, employees and limited companies. We can review your expenditure and explain what records you should keep.
If a dental practice employs staff, it will usually need to operate payroll, deduct PAYE and National Insurance where applicable, and deal with pension duties and reporting obligations. Payroll may also be relevant for practice owners or certain team arrangements. The level of support needed depends on how many people are employed, how they are paid and the structure of the practice.
The right structure depends on factors such as your profits, risk, plans for the practice, how many owners are involved and your personal tax position. A sole trader, partnership and limited company each have different reporting, tax and administrative requirements, and what suits one dentist may not suit another. An accountant can explain the options and help you assess which structure may be appropriate, but the decision should be based on your circumstances.
VAT treatment can depend on the specific services provided, who they are provided to and the legal structure of the business. Some dental services may be exempt, while other supplies, such as certain cosmetic or commercial items, can be treated differently. Because VAT rules are detailed and fact-specific, it is worth reviewing your position with an accountant before making assumptions.
Switching accountants usually involves informing your current accountant, giving authority for records to be transferred and allowing the new accountant to carry out professional clearance where needed. CruseBurke can help manage the transition and explain what information is required, such as previous accounts, tax returns, bookkeeping records and payroll details. The process can often be handled without disrupting your ongoing accounting or tax deadlines, although the timing depends on your circumstances.
