Dental accounting can involve more than standard income and expenses. The right approach depends on whether you are employed, self-employed, in a partnership or running a limited company, and on how your NHS and private income is structured.

Look for an accountant who understands dental income and working arrangements, not just general business accounting. It helps if they can explain how Self Assessment, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT and annual accounts may apply to your situation, and whether you are an associate, principal, partner or limited company owner. Clear communication and a tailored approach are important because dental accounting can vary depending on your NHS and private income and your business structure.
Yes, we can support self-employed dentists with Self Assessment, including organising income and expense records and preparing tax returns. This may involve recording associate dentist income, private fees, professional expenses such as indemnity cover, and other allowable costs. The exact information required depends on your circumstances, so we would normally review your income sources and records before confirming what is needed.
Associate dentists often work with multiple income sources and may need support with Self Assessment, bookkeeping and professional expenses. Principal dentists and practice owners may have additional considerations, such as practice accounts, staff payroll, VAT where applicable, equipment costs, premises expenses and tax planning. Some dentists also operate through a partnership or limited company, which can change how accounts are prepared and how tax is administered.
Some dental practices need VAT support depending on the mix of NHS and private services, while others may not be VAT registered. Payroll support can be relevant for practices that employ dentists, nurses, receptionists or other staff, because wages, pensions and employment costs need to be recorded and reported correctly. Whether VAT or payroll applies depends on the practice structure and circumstances.
Support can include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll, VAT returns where applicable, practice accounting and tax planning. For dentists buying or selling a practice, accounting support may also cover financial information, records and tax considerations connected with the transaction. The services used will depend on whether you are a sole trader, partner, limited company or practice owner.
To get started, it helps to have details of your income sources, business structure, professional expenses, previous accounts or tax returns if available, and records for bookkeeping, payroll or VAT if relevant. If you are in a practice, information about staff, premises costs and practice income may also be useful. The exact information needed can vary, so we would usually discuss your circumstances first.
Pricing usually depends on the work involved, such as whether you need Self Assessment only, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, annual accounts, Corporation Tax or ongoing support. A dental practice with staff and multiple income streams may need more accounting work than an individual associate dentist, so fees are generally based on the scope and complexity of your requirements. We can discuss the services you need and explain how the fee will be structured without hidden assumptions.
Yes, if you are switching accountants, we can help review your existing records and understand your current accounting position. The handover may involve obtaining previous accounts, tax returns and bookkeeping information, and confirming what needs to be done next for Self Assessment, payroll, VAT or company accounts. The process can vary depending on how your records are currently kept and what work is outstanding.
