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 not simply a matter of adding up fees. The way you are engaged, the mix of income you receive and the structure you operate through all influence how your figures should be recorded and reported, which is why a tailored approach usually works better than a one-size-fits-all one.
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.

If you're switching, we’ll take care of contacting your previous accountants to make the transition smooth.

If you are a self-employed or associate dentist, you will usually need to report your income and allowable expenses through Self Assessment, and the return needs to reflect how you actually work. We help gather and organise your income records — including NHS and private fee income where relevant — review the expenses you are claiming, and prepare and submit the return on your behalf. Because treatment can depend on your engagement status and income sources, we check the details with you rather than assuming a standard position.
Yes. Associate dentists often have a straightforward but specific set of needs: reconciling payments received from one or more practices, tracking indemnity and professional costs, and completing a Self Assessment return each year. Practice owners tend to have a broader set of requirements covering staff payroll, practice accounts, VAT and structure. We work with both, and the scope of support is agreed around what you actually need rather than a fixed package.
Both NHS and private income are generally taxable, but the way income arrives — through a practice, an NHS contract, direct patient fees or a mixture — can affect how your records should be kept and how figures are presented in your accounts or return. There is no single treatment that applies to every dentist, as it depends on your contract, your engagement status and your business structure. We look at your specific arrangements and record the income in a way that is consistent and supportable.
We can support practice owners with bookkeeping and record-keeping, which helps keep income, supplier costs, equipment purchases and staff costs in order throughout the year instead of everything being pulled together at the last minute. Where you employ dental nurses, receptionists, hygienists or practice managers, payroll support can cover payslips, deductions and reporting obligations. Whether you need both, or just one, depends on how your practice is set up and who currently handles the admin.
Costs that are incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of your dental work may be allowable, which can include indemnity insurance, GDC and professional body subscriptions, certain training and CPD costs, and specialist equipment or clothing where it meets the relevant conditions. Treatment is not automatic, and some costs are restricted or need apportioning — for example where something is used privately as well as professionally. We review what you have paid and explain how each item is likely to be treated.
There is no universally correct structure. Sole trader or partnership arrangements are common among self-employed and associate dentists, while incorporated practices and limited company structures may suit principal dentists and practice owners for a range of commercial and tax reasons. The right answer depends on your income levels, how many people are involved, your plans for the practice and your personal circumstances. We can talk through the practical differences so you can decide with proper information.
It helps to have your recent tax returns, accounts, and details of the practices you work with or own, along with income records such as payment statements, invoices and bank statements. Practice owners may also need to provide payroll information, VAT records and details of equipment or premises costs. If your records are incomplete or you are switching from another accountant, we can work with what you have and help you build a clearer picture from there.
Switching is usually more straightforward than people expect. We ask for some basic details about your current position, then contact your existing accountant to request the professional clearance and records needed to take over the work. Once everything is in place, we pick up the ongoing accounting and tax tasks and let you know what information we will need from you going forward. If you are mid-way through a tax year, we can plan the handover so nothing gets missed.
