Accounting for dentists
Accountants for Dentists in Manchester
Look after your patients, with clearer accounts behind the scenes.
Practice receipts, associate arrangements and laboratory bills can create a demanding admin workload. Equipment purchases and payroll add decisions that need a reliable view of the numbers.
We can help your dental practice keep records organised, prepare for tax and understand the numbers. Agree the support and fee before you commit.

Questions about dentists
Your accounts, explained simply.
Is every service a dentist provides VAT-exempt?
No blanket answer is safe. Qualifying dental healthcare may be exempt while other supplies depend on their nature and purpose. Review the actual treatment and contractual arrangement.
Does an associate agreement automatically make me self-employed?
No. The facts of the working arrangement matter as well as the contract. Discuss your circumstances before assuming a particular employment or tax status.
Can I deduct the cost of new dental equipment immediately?
Not necessarily. Equipment may need capital treatment and the available relief depends on the circumstances. Keep purchase and finance documents and review the correct treatment.
Can you work with the accounting software I already use?
Tell us what you use and how your records are kept. We can discuss a workable process rather than insist on a change before understanding your needs.
Can you help if my records are behind?
Tell us the periods involved and any deadlines or HMRC letters. We will assess the work and agree a realistic timetable. Do not assume an urgent deadline can always be met.
Will having an accountant stop HMRC asking questions?
No accountant can guarantee that. Accurate records and properly supported returns help you explain your position. Any HMRC enquiry should be discussed promptly.
