Why we niched
Specialists, on principle
You wouldn't ask a GP to place an implant. Yet most dentists ask a general accountant to
navigate superannuation, annualisation, UDA economics, incorporation trade-offs and practice
deals — things a generalist might meet once a decade, if ever.
We made the opposite bet: know one profession completely. Every client conversation, every
benchmark, every deal and every HMRC quirk we handle makes us sharper for the next dentist. That
compounding knowledge is the product.
The best advice in dentistry doesn't come from knowing more tax law.
It comes from having seen your exact situation fifty times before.
How we work
- Fixed fees, always. You'll never hesitate to call us because a meter might be running.
- Deadlines beaten, not met. Returns prepared early so tax bills are known months ahead.
- Plain English. If advice can't be explained simply, it isn't finished yet.
- Straight answers. When the honest answer is "don't incorporate" or "don't buy it", that's the answer you'll get.

Practice and associate books run on Xero as standard — live bank feeds, receipts captured from
your phone, Making Tax Digital handled, and numbers we can both see all year round instead of
once at year-end. How we run dentists on Xero →
Who we work with
Associates from their first contract onwards, principals of NHS, private and mixed practices,
squat founders, and small groups. Clients across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland —
everything works remotely, built around clinical hours, because we know you can't take calls
mid-surgery.
What a dental-only firm knows without being told
Specialism sounds like marketing until you watch it in practice. It means nobody has to explain
that superannuation comes off before tax, or that contribution tiers are set on annualised
earnings so a part-year works differently from a pro-rata. It means the incorporation question
gets answered with the NHS pension accrual in the model rather than as an afterthought — and
that when the dividend rates rose two percentage points on 6 April 2026, every affected client
heard what it did to their own figures rather than reading a general newsletter.
It also means the practice work is familiar rather than occasional. UDA delivery and clawback
risk, plan income attrition, the difference between what a principal draws and what their
dentistry would cost to replace, whether goodwill walks out of the door with the seller. A
generalist might meet one practice sale in a decade. We look at the same questions every week,
and that is the whole reason the advice arrives faster and lands closer.
What we don't do
We are accountants, not financial advisers. Pension transfers, retirement options, protection
and investments need regulated advice, and we don't give it — we work alongside your IFA, or
introduce you to one who genuinely understands the NHS scheme, and we handle the tax and the
numbers around whatever you decide. We will also tell you when the answer is to do nothing.
Straight answers cut both ways: the
incorporation maths is published in full on this site precisely because for a lot of
associates the honest conclusion is that a company is not worth it.
The practical stuff
Accountants for Dentists is a trading style of Buzz Accounting Ltd, registered in England and
Wales, company number 15182358. Fees are fixed and agreed before any work starts, so the bill is
never a surprise and calling us never costs anything. Books run on Xero as standard, moved across
from whatever you use now as part of onboarding. Everything is handled remotely by video, phone
and secure upload, scheduled around clinical hours. If you would rather see what the service
covers than read about the philosophy, start with
associates or
practice owners.
