Accounting for referral-based and specialist practices, including capital allowances on equipment and VAT on cosmetic treatment.

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 is rarely as simple as recording a single salary. The way you are engaged, the mix of income you receive and the structure you trade through can all affect how your figures should be recorded and reported, which is why a specialist approach is often helpful.
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.

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.
We’ll send over a simple letter to formalise our partnership and get everything in motion.
If you're switching, we’ll take care of contacting your previous accountants to make the transition smooth.
From there, sit back and relax. We’ll manage your accounts, taxes, and everything in between, keeping your practice running smoothly.
If you are a self-employed dentist, whether as an associate, a locum or a principal, you are generally responsible for declaring your income and paying tax through Self Assessment. That means keeping accurate records of the income you receive from each practice or contract, along with allowable business expenses, and reporting the resulting profit on your tax return. We can handle the record-keeping, prepare and submit the return, and help you understand how payments on account and any other income you have may affect what you owe.
NHS and private income can be recorded and treated differently, particularly when you are working within a practice that holds an NHS contract alongside private treatment. We look at how your income is generated, how it flows to you and how it should be reported, so the figures in your accounts and tax return reflect your actual position. Where a practice receives both types of income, we can also help put bookkeeping systems in place that keep them clearly separated.
Dentists can often claim expenses that are incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of their profession, which may include indemnity insurance, professional body subscriptions, registration fees, specialist instruments, continuing professional development and travel between practices. Practice owners may also claim a proportion of premises costs, equipment and other running expenses. What is allowable depends on your circumstances and how the expense relates to your work, so it is worth reviewing your costs rather than assuming a particular treatment applies.
Yes. Limited company dental practices have their own reporting obligations, including annual accounts, a Company Tax Return and Corporation Tax, as well as payroll obligations for any directors or employees. We can prepare these filings, keep the company's bookkeeping in order and look at how salary, dividends and pension contributions interact so that the structure works sensibly for you. The right approach depends on your profits, your plans for the practice and your personal financial position.
VAT registration depends on your taxable turnover and the nature of the services you provide. Some dental services may be exempt from VAT, while others, such as certain cosmetic or elective treatments, can be standard-rated, which means registration can become relevant as a practice grows or its treatment mix changes. We can review your position and, where registration is required or beneficial, help with VAT returns, record-keeping and how VAT affects your pricing.
Yes. We can run payroll for dental practices, covering dental nurses, receptionists, hygienists, practice managers and associates paid through the payroll, along with PAYE calculations, payslips and pension auto-enrolment duties where they apply. Payroll for practices often includes a mix of full-time, part-time and variable-hours staff, so we make sure the records stay accurate and consistent through the year. We can also help you understand the employment costs associated with taking on additional team members.
It helps to have your most recent tax return, accounts or company records, details of your income sources and any correspondence from HMRC, along with information about your practice structure and staff if you employ people. If your records are incomplete or you are not sure what you have, we can work through that with you and identify what still needs to be collected. Once we understand your position, we can explain the next steps and what will be needed on an ongoing basis.
Switching accountants can usually be done at any point in the year, and you do not have to wait for a particular date or for your tax return to be filed first. We can contact your existing accountant to request the handover of information, subject to their professional clearance procedures, and pick up your bookkeeping and filings from there. If there are outstanding returns or records to bring up to date, we can help you prioritise what needs to be dealt with first.
