Solutions for the Healthcare Industry
Dentists
As a dentist you not only have to provide high-quality services to your clients, you also have to deal with HMRC, bookkeeping, payroll whilst managing the financial performance of your dental surgery business. DSK understands these complexities and has helped many dentists make sound financial business decisions. Our team of dental accountants handles your finance, accounting and compliance so you can focus on growing your business.
General Practitioners
General Practice accounting is highly specialised, shaped by partnership structures, funding flows and complex pension rules that go beyond standard business accounting.
At DSK, we understand how GP income is generated, how partners should plan for tax and National Insurance. We support practices with accruals-based accounts, recognition of medical-specific expenses, incoming and outgoing partner changes, premises valuations and GP benchmarking to help you understand how your practice performs against national trends.
With decades of experience, we provide the clarity, accuracy and forward-thinking advice GP practices need to stay financially healthy and focused on patient care.
Solutions for General Practitioners
Care Homes
Care homes are critical to senior care but running care homes isn’t easy, especially when it comes to the financial aspects of the business, whether it’s a for-profit or charitable care home, or group of care homes. Accounting for care homes is uniquely complex. Strong financial controls, clear reporting on occupancy and cost management and a deep understanding of sector-specific tax reliefs and capital allowances are essential to maintaining stability and supporting long-term growth.
At DSK, we bring the specialist insight care homes need. We help you optimise your structure, plan for expansion, stay compliant and maintain the financial health required to deliver high-quality care with confidence.
Our team of accountants have worked with numerous care homes and have an in-depth knowledge of the financial and accounting issues affecting the industry.
