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 more moving parts than a straightforward employed role, particularly where income comes from a mix of NHS and private work, associate sessions, practice profits or multiple sources. The right treatment can depend on whether you are self-employed, a partner, a company director or an employee, so it is worth reviewing your position carefully.
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.

An accountant for dentists in Blackmoor supports dental professionals with the accounting and tax responsibilities that apply to their circumstances. Depending on whether you are self-employed, employed, in a partnership or running a limited company, this can include bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, tax returns, payroll, VAT support, practice accounting and tax planning. The aim is to keep your financial information organised and help you understand what needs to be reported and when.
The support can differ because the income sources and responsibilities are not the same. An associate dentist may need help with Self Assessment, tracking income from one or more practices, and recording allowable professional expenses. A principal dentist or dental practice owner may also need business accounts, payroll, VAT records, corporation tax or partnership tax returns, depending on the structure. We tailor the work to your actual arrangement rather than assuming every dentist fits the same model.
NHS and private dental income is generally taxable, but how it is reported depends on your working arrangement and business structure. For example, an associate dentist may receive income through a practice, while a practice owner may report business profits through Self Assessment, a partnership return or company accounts. Because the treatment can vary, it is important to keep clear records of income sources and discuss your position with an accountant.
Yes. CruseBurke can help dentists in Blackmoor organise their income and expenses, prepare their Self Assessment tax return and submit it to HMRC. We can also help identify expenses that may be allowable, such as professional subscriptions or indemnity cover, where the rules permit. The exact position depends on your circumstances, so we review the information you provide before preparing the return.
Dentists may be able to claim expenses that are incurred wholly and exclusively for their work, but the rules depend on the specific cost and your circumstances. Common areas to review can include professional subscriptions, indemnity insurance, continuing professional development, specialist equipment, and certain travel or home-office costs where applicable. Some costs may need to be treated as capital expenditure rather than a routine business expense, so it is worth getting the treatment checked.
VAT registration depends on your taxable turnover and the services you provide. Some dental services may be exempt, while others can be standard-rated or treated differently, so it is not a simple yes or no for every practice. We can review your income streams and help you understand whether VAT registration or VAT accounting may be relevant to your practice.
Yes. Payroll support for dental practices can include calculating pay, preparing payslips, reporting to HMRC and dealing with workplace pension duties where they apply. This can be useful if you employ receptionists, dental nurses, hygienists, therapists, associates or other staff, and it helps keep employment records organised alongside your other accounting work.
Switching accountants usually involves confirming your appointment, authorising CruseBurke to act on your behalf and arranging the transfer of relevant records from your previous accountant. We can guide you through the process, help identify the information needed and liaise with your existing accountant where appropriate. The aim is to make the change as smooth as possible while keeping your accounting and tax work organised.
