Specialist Accountants for Dentists & Dental Practices
Looking for dental accountants in London who already understand UDA targets, associate agreements and the NHS Pension Scheme? Running a dental practice means running a business, not just treating patients — and the numbers behind an NHS contract, a private list and a room full of staff are rarely simple. CruseBurke has advised British businesses since before the Second World War, so you get a chartered team that knows dentistry from day one.

Dentists have financial needs that a general accountant rarely sees: mixed NHS and private income, superannuation deducted at source, associate self-employment and equipment finance. As specialist dental accountants in London we handle all of it, whether you are an associate with one contract or a principal running several surgeries.
Self-assessment, allowable expense claims, lab fees and superannuation reconciliation for self-employed associates and private dentists.
Practice accounts, payroll for nurses and receptionists, UDA income monitoring, cash flow and profit extraction planning.
Accounting for referral-based and specialist practices, including capital allowances on equipment and VAT on cosmetic treatment.
Cash flow forecasts for lenders, company formation, cloud software set-up and registration for new and squat dental practices.
At CruseBurke, our dental accountants in London cover everything a practice or an associate needs — from day-to-day bookkeeping to year-end accounts, tax returns and NHS Pension checks.
We reconcile NHS schedules, private takings, plan income such as Denplan and card receipts so you always know what the practice is really earning.
Most dental treatment is VAT exempt, but cosmetic work, teeth whitening and product sales are not. We handle partial exemption and get your returns right.
We prepare associate tax returns, claim every allowable expense from GDC fees and indemnity to CPD and lab costs, and reconcile superannuation deductions.
Payroll for nurses, hygienists and reception staff, plus auto-enrolment, statutory pay and NHS Pension submissions handled on time every month.
Management accounts that show profit per surgery, per associate and per income stream, so you can see exactly where the practice makes money.
Dental practices deal with financial pressures no other business has. NHS contract income arrives on schedule from NHS Business Services Authority while private and plan income lands separately, superannuation is deducted before you ever see it, and UDA shortfalls can trigger claw-back months later. These are the problems we solve every day:
Mixed NHS, private and plan income that is hard to reconcile.
No time to review the numbers between patients and admin.
UDA under-performance and unexpected NHS claw-back.
Superannuation deducted at source and never properly reconciled.
High surgery, materials and lab costs squeezing margins.
Nurse, hygienist and associate pay plus auto-enrolment admin.
No clear plan for incorporation, expansion or selling the practice.
Your chair time is your most valuable asset, so you should not be spending evenings on spreadsheets. As chartered dental accountants in London we turn practice figures into decisions you can act on — whether that is incorporating, taking on an associate or buying a second surgery. Here is why dentists trust us:
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.
You deal with the same qualified person every time, by phone or email, not a call centre.
Our roots go back further than the Second World War and we act for dental clients across London.

Take a back seat and let our London dental accountants handle everything. Switching mid-year is straightforward and you do not need to speak to your old accountant:
Reach out to us and we will discuss your practice, your contract and how we can help.

If you're switching, we’ll take care of contacting your previous accountants to make the transition smooth.

Incorporation can save tax once profits are consistently high, but it affects your NHS contract, superannuation and how you draw money out. We run the numbers both ways for your practice before you decide, rather than applying a rule of thumb.
Typically GDC registration, indemnity cover, CPD and courses, professional subscriptions, lab fees, uniforms and laundry, loupes and small equipment, mileage between practices, and a proportion of phone and home office costs. We review your position so nothing allowable is missed.
Superannuation is deducted from your NHS schedule before you are paid, so it must be reconciled against your accounts and claimed correctly. Get it wrong and you either overpay tax or understate your pension contributions. We reconcile it every year.
Yes. We monitor UDA delivery against your contract through the year so shortfalls are spotted early, and we build any expected claw-back into your cash flow forecast so it does not arrive as a shock.
We are based at 12 London Road, Morden, and act for dental clients across London, Surrey, Kent and Essex. Everything can be handled remotely through cloud accounting, so location is never a barrier.
Fees depend on whether you are an associate, a single-site principal or a multi-surgery group, and on whether you need bookkeeping and payroll as well as year-end accounts. We quote one fixed monthly fee up front so you know the cost before you commit.
