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.

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 considerations that do not always appear in other professions because income may come from more than one source and the business structure can vary. The points below are common areas dentists and dental practices may need to review, although the exact position depends on individual circumstances.
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.

It can depend on how you work and how you are paid. A self-employed associate dentist may need help recording fee income, practice deductions and allowable expenses, while a dentist who is employed may have different reporting requirements. CruseBurke can review your circumstances and help identify the records and tax return support that may be relevant.
NHS and private income may need to be recorded clearly so that income, deductions and expenses can be reported accurately. The treatment can vary depending on whether you are self-employed, a practice owner or operating through a limited company, and how the income is received. We can help you organise the records and understand how different income streams may affect your accounts and tax position.
Expenses may be allowable where they are incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your dental work or practice, but the position depends on the facts. Common areas to review can include professional subscriptions, indemnity insurance, equipment, training and certain travel or administrative costs. CruseBurke can help you keep supporting records and understand which costs may be relevant to your tax position.
A dental practice with employees may need payroll support to calculate wages, deductions and pension contributions where applicable, and VAT may apply depending on turnover and the services provided. Not every practice will have the same requirements, so the level of support should reflect the practice structure and activities. We can help with payroll, VAT records and related reporting where these are relevant.
The right structure depends on factors such as how many owners or partners are involved, how profits are shared, tax considerations and plans for the future. A partnership and a limited company have different reporting and tax obligations, and what suits one practice may not suit another. CruseBurke can explain the general differences and help you consider the options in light of your circumstances.
Good records generally include income received, invoices, bank statements, expense receipts, payroll information and details of any equipment or practice costs. Keeping these records organised can make Self Assessment, annual accounts and VAT returns easier to prepare, where applicable. We can help set up a practical bookkeeping approach that fits the way you work.
Yes. Switching accountants can involve transferring records, finalising outstanding accounts and making sure HMRC has the information it needs. CruseBurke can help manage the transition, review what information is required and provide ongoing accounting support for dentists in Ayeside once the handover is complete. The process depends on your current records and outstanding obligations.
Fees generally depend on the scope of work, your business structure, the number of income streams and the level of bookkeeping, payroll or VAT support required. A dentist with straightforward Self Assessment needs may have different requirements from a practice owner with employees and multiple reporting obligations. CruseBurke can discuss your circumstances and explain the likely scope before work begins.
