We work remotely with dentists in every part of the UK — and because NHS dentistry differs genuinely between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the advice is tuned to where you practise.
Most dentists start by searching for a "dental accountant near me", and the honest answer is that proximity stopped being the thing that matters. We are remote-first: everything runs over video and phone, scheduled around clinical hours, with records, questions and approvals handled securely online. No half-days lost to an office visit, and no waiting until someone can fit you in.
What you gain by widening the search past your postcode is specialism. We work only with dental professionals — associates, principals, hygienists and therapists, squat founders and small groups — so nobody has to explain UDAs, superannuation or an associate agreement from first principles. A dental-only firm two hundred miles away will usually serve you better than the nearest general practice accountant, and you will hear back faster.
Where you practise still matters, though, because NHS dentistry genuinely differs between England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. That is what the 13 city pages below are for: each one sets out how the system, the regulator and the practice market work where you are. Not on the list? We act for dentists right across the UK — get in touch and we will talk you through it.
This is not presentational. Move from England to Scotland and four separate things change at once. The pension scheme changes, because Scotland runs its own NHS superannuation arrangements. The tax arithmetic changes, because Scottish rates and bands differ from those in the rest of the UK while National Insurance stays UK-wide. The payment mechanism changes, because health service dentistry in Scotland is not paid in UDAs. And the regulator inspecting the practice changes.
Wales has rebased its activity measures through contract reform, so a Welsh practice cannot be read with English UDA assumptions. Northern Ireland plans its health service dentistry separately again. A valuation, an incorporation decision or a due diligence exercise built on the wrong nation's assumptions is not slightly off — it is answering a different question. That is why a cross-border move is worth a conversation before the start date rather than after it.
The service does not change with the postcode. Associates get their return filed early, a monthly set-aside figure, superannuation reconciled against actual pensionable earnings, and straight incorporation advice with the pension in the picture. Practice owners get accounts, tax, payroll and quarterly benchmarking against dental figures rather than generic small business ones. Buyers and sellers get the deal work. See the associate service or the practice owner service for what that includes in full.
The city pages are a sample — clients are spread across the whole UK, and everything works remotely around clinical hours.
