Accountancy services for dental practices

Berg Kaprow Lewis is an independent firm of chartered accountants and auditors experienced in working with dental professionals, so we appreciate that running a successful practice requires good financial planning and management.

As well as routine accountancy and taxation services, Berg Kaprow Lewis also provides all the specialist services needed to manage the practice more effectively.

Such support is valuable at any time, but can make a crucial difference when you are dealing with acquisitions or disposals, incorporation, specialisation or diversification within your practice or moving from NHS to private.

Tax compliance and planning

When we complete your accounts, Berg Kaprow Lewis will ensure you are fully compliant with the latest legislation and make the most of all the available allowances and reliefs to minimise your liabilities.
