See what doctors, dentists, and care providers say about working with us.
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.
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 accounting can involve a broader mix of issues than many standard self-employed or small company accounts. The right treatment often depends on whether you are an associate, principal, partner, limited company director or practice owner, and on how your NHS and private income is structured.
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.

Not every dentist needs specialist support, but dental accounting can involve NHS and private income, associate arrangements, practice expenses, payroll, VAT and different business structures. A specialist accountant can help interpret these areas and keep reporting organised. If your affairs are straightforward, a general accountant may be sufficient, but where dental-specific income or practice accounting is involved, specialist knowledge can be useful. CruseBurke works with dentists and dental practices, so we can tailor support to your circumstances.
NHS and private income can come with different payment schedules, statements and reporting requirements. In practice, good bookkeeping means recording each income stream accurately, matching receipts to the right period and keeping supporting records. Tax treatment may depend on whether you are self-employed, in a partnership or operating through a limited company. We can help organise this information and reflect it correctly in your accounts and tax returns.
Yes. Associate dentists are often self-employed, which means they may need to report income and expenses through Self Assessment. Relevant costs can include indemnity cover, professional subscriptions, some travel and equipment where allowable, but the exact treatment depends on the circumstances. We can help you keep records, identify expenses that may be claimed, and prepare your tax return.
Practice owners may need support with annual accounts, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, Corporation Tax or partnership returns, depending on how the practice is structured. There may also be issues around practice premises, equipment, staff costs and cash flow that need to be reflected properly in the accounts. The scope can be tailored to the practiceu2019s size and legal structure, so not every practice will need the same level of support.
VAT registration depends on taxable turnover and the nature of the services provided, so it is not automatic for every dental practice. Some treatments and supplies may be exempt, while others may be standard-rated, which means the position can be complex. We can review your income streams and help you understand whether VAT registration or VAT accounting may apply to your circumstances. Where VAT applies, we can help with record keeping and returns.
Good record keeping is important. Professional expenses such as indemnity cover, professional body subscriptions and certain training costs may be relevant to your tax position, but the treatment depends on whether you are employed, self-employed or operating through a company. You should keep receipts, invoices and bank records, and separate business costs from personal spending. We can help you understand which expenses may be allowable and how to record them consistently.
Yes. Switching accountants usually involves gathering information from your previous adviser or from your own records, such as previous accounts, tax returns, bookkeeping files and payroll data where relevant. The transition can be managed in an organised way, and we can help identify what information is needed to get started. The exact process depends on your current arrangements and how your records are held.
To get started, it helps to have details of your income sources, business structure, expenses, bank statements, and any existing accounts or tax returns. If you employ staff or are registered for VAT, payroll records and VAT information may also be relevant. For associate dentists, payment statements and expense records are useful. We can confirm the specific information needed once we understand your circumstances.
