Why a specialist

Your generalist accountant is guessing. We're not.

Dentistry has its own economics: UDA rates and clawback, superannuation that doesn't behave like a normal pension, incorporation decisions that can quietly cost you NHS pension growth, staff and lab costs that need benchmarking against dental norms — not against the café next door.

  • We check what others miss — superannuation against pensionable pay, annual allowance headroom, associate expense claims.
  • We benchmark against dentistry — your staff, lab and material costs versus comparable practices, not generic small businesses.
  • We plan around your career — associate to principal to exit, with the tax planned years ahead rather than patched afterwards.

What we do

Everything your practice needs from a finance team

Accounts & tax

Year-end accounts, corporation tax, self assessment and VAT where relevant — filed early, never at the deadline.

NHS pension support

Superannuation reconciliation, annual allowance monitoring, annualisation and McCloud queries handled with your IFA.

Incorporation advice

Limited company, sole trader or partnership — modelled properly, including the NHS pension trade-off most advisers ignore.

Payroll & team

Nurses, receptionists, hygienist arrangements and associate pay structures — run monthly without drama.

Benchmarking & advisory

Quarterly numbers with dental benchmarks: chair utilisation, staff ratios, private/plan mix and profit per surgery.

Acquisitions & sales

Due diligence, valuation sense-checks, funding introductions and deal structuring for buyers, sellers and squat founders.

Practice deals

Thinking of buying — or finally selling?

Dental practices change hands at strong multiples, and the difference between a good deal and a painful one is almost always in the numbers: UDA delivery risk, staff costs hiding in the add-backs, clawback exposure, and a structure that suits the seller far more than you.

  • Pre-offer reviews of the practice's real earnings — before you fall in love with it
  • Funding support with lenders who actively want dental clients
  • Exit planning that starts two to three years out, so relief and price are both maximised

Questions dentists ask us

Straight answers, before you even call

Do you only work with dentists?

Yes. Associates, practice owners, squat founders and small groups — dentistry is the whole practice. That focus is why we catch the things generalist accountants miss: NHS pension quirks, UDA economics, incorporation trade-offs and dental-specific expense claims.

I'm an associate — do I really need a specialist accountant?

A generalist can file your tax return. A specialist will check your superannuation deductions match your pensionable earnings, claim every dental-specific expense, tell you honestly whether a limited company works once you factor in the NHS pension, and plan for the years your income jumps.

What does it cost?

A fixed monthly fee, quoted for your situation and agreed before we start — so you'll never receive a surprise invoice. Project work (buying, selling, incorporating) is quoted as a fixed fee up front too. No hourly billing, ever.

Can you help me buy my first practice?

Yes — it's one of the things we do most. We review the practice's real numbers before you offer, sanity-check the valuation, model your post-purchase drawings, help secure funding from dental-specialist lenders and set up the right structure to buy through.

Is it easy to switch from my current accountant?

Very. You sign one letter of engagement; we write to your current accountant for professional clearance and your records. There's usually no fee to leave, and no gap in your filings. Most switches complete inside two weeks.

Do you understand the NHS pension?

It's a core specialism. Annual allowance breaches, annualisation, added years, McCloud remedy statements and the incorporation trade-off — we deal with these every week, and we'll work alongside your IFA where regulated financial advice is needed.
