Specialist dental accountancy
We work only with UK dentists. Principals, partners, associates, locums and corporate dental groups. From NHS contract reporting through profit extraction to practice purchase and sale.
Start with compliance essentials, add monthly management accounts as you grow, move to specialist advisory as you scale or plan an exit. You can move tier at any month-end.
Single-handed practices & associates
Multi-associate practices (most popular)
Multi-site groups + exit-focused principals
These are the six areas of work that come up across our book of dental clients. Click any heading to read the deep-dive page for that service.
Compliance
Monthly management accounts that separate NHS UDA value, private fee income and capitation plan income, so you see where the profit really comes from. Year-end statutory accounts and corporation tax filed on time, every time.
Tax
Proactive planning across the tax year, not just at year end. We model salary and dividend extraction, NHS Pension interaction, employer pension contributions, and timing decisions for principals, partners and associates working through limited companies.
Structure
Sole trader, expense-share partnership, full LLP, limited company, holding-company structure. Each shape has different NHS Pension consequences, different goodwill treatment and different exit economics. We model the trade-offs in your specific numbers.
Specialist
Self-employment status review against the post-IR35 tests (control, substitution, mutuality of obligation, financial risk, integration). Allowable expenses checklist for associates. Umbrella vs limited company vs self-employed analysis for locums working across NHS practices.
Lifecycle
Financial due diligence on the seller's accounts. EBITDA normalisation. Goodwill valuation against current UK dental market multiples. SDLT and CGT planning. Section 162 relief modelling if you're incorporating before sale. BADR eligibility check.
Operations
Practice payroll for nurses, hygienists, therapists, treatment co-ordinators and trainees. Auto-enrolment workplace pension administration. CIS if you're engaging subcontracted lab technicians or refurb contractors. P11D returns and benefit-in-kind handling.
The things that should be baseline at any specialist firm. Plenty are not.
Every client we work with is a dentist, a dental partnership, a corporate group or a locum. We do not split focus across other sectors. That depth shows in the questions we ask and the decisions we model.
Email or call us with a question. We respond inside 24 hours, usually the same working day. You should not be waiting a week for an answer when a deadline is moving towards you.
You know exactly what you are paying before you sign. No hourly billing, no scope creep. If your practice grows and the work grows, we tell you before any additional fee applies.
We do not wait to be asked. If your salary and dividend split is leaking tax, if your goodwill amortisation election was missed, if your NHS Pension annual allowance is heading toward a charge, we flag it before you ask.
Decisions that look obvious in isolation, incorporating, drawing dividends, employing a spouse, can quietly reduce NHS Pension benefits or trigger annual allowance charges. We factor pension consequences into every structural decision.
Free scoping call
We will review your practice structure, NHS contract position and current accountant set-up, then give you clear recommendations. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you and suggest who is.
