Why Pocknells?
Most Chartered Accountants focus on the past — leaving dentists reacting instead of planning.
At Pocknells, we don’t just crunch numbers:
We use your numbers to help dental professionals build a more profitable, forward-looking practice from associate to principal.
Your financial strategy should be:
- Be engaging and insightful, not boring, and tailored to your journey as a dental professional
- Involve discussions not simply about where you are now, but aspirations for the future, starting today
- Give you the tools to invest wisely in your team and equipment and boost practice profits
Builds Long-Term Wealth Through Better Financial Decisions
Dental professionals aren’t just focused on day-to-day profitability. They’re thinking bigger: growing their practice, optimising how they extract profits and building long-term wealth for the future.
Aligns Your Financial Decisions With Your Growth Ambitions
Tax isn’t just an expense: it’s a sign of success. Designing the right financial structures means you’re making your money work for you to support your growth ambitions.
Supports You as Your Long-Term Financial Partner
Your accountant shouldn’t just be there to help fill in a few numbers each year. Rather, get proactive advice as if they were a family member to help you today and plan for the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?
We support dental professionals with everything from bookkeeping, accounts preparation and payroll through to tax planning and strategic advice.
Compliance is the baseline. Our focus is helping clients improve profitability by structuring their dental practice properly and planning for future growth.
If you’re unsure whether we cover something specific, just ask.
Do you support growth and acquisitions?
Yes. Many of our clients reach a stage where they want to expand, restructure or acquire other dental practices.
We regularly support companies through growth phases, group restructures and acquisitions — and we’ve done this ourselves, having grown our own firm through acquisition.
That practical experience means our advice isn’t theoretical. We understand the financial, operational and strategic decisions involved in scaling a business.
Is my dental practice the right fit?
We work with dental professionals at every stage — from associates and first-time practice owners through to established and multi-site practices.
What matters most isn’t size, but mindset. If you’re looking for more than basic compliance and want proactive advice to help you improve performance today and build long-term wealth for the future, we’ll likely be a good fit.
We work with dentists across the UK, not just locally.
What accounting software do you use?
We work with a range of leading cloud accounting platforms and will recommend the system that best suits your dental practice.
If you already have software in place, we can usually work with it and help you get more value from it.
Our aim is always to keep things simple, efficient and easy to understand.
Why should I switch accountants?
If your current accountant is giving you exactly what you need, that’s great.
But many dental professionals find they’re only receiving compliance support — rather than proactive advice that helps them improve profitability, structure their business properly and spot opportunities for growth.
Whether that means running a stronger dental practice day-to-day or exploring bigger opportunities such as expansion or acquisitions, we focus on helping clients move forward rather than simply reporting the numbers.
How easy is it to switch accountants?
Switching accountants is usually much simpler than people expect.
Once we have a few basic details from you, we handle the rest — contacting your previous accountant, transferring information and making sure everything is set up correctly.
The process is routine and handled professionally, so there’s no awkward conversations and nothing gets missed. Most clients are surprised at how straightforward it is.
How much do you charge?
Our fees are typically agreed as a fixed monthly amount based on the level of support you need.
After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a clear proposal so you know exactly what’s included and what it costs — no hidden surprises.
A good accountant shouldn’t just prepare accounts and file returns. Done properly, they should help you improve profitability, structure your dental practice properly and spot opportunities for growth — meaning the benefits to your practice should significantly outweigh the cost.
How quickly can we get started?
Once we’ve agreed the right level of support, we’ll start the onboarding process straight away.
For new dental professionals, we can usually get everything set up very quickly. If you’re switching accountants, we handle the transition and liaise with your previous accountant to gather the necessary information.
Our aim is always to make the process smooth, efficient and straightforward from the start.
What happens in a free strategy meeting?
The meeting is simply a chance to talk through your dental practice and what you’re looking to achieve.
We’ll discuss where you are now, where you want to get to and whether we can help you get there.
If it feels like a good fit, we can outline the next steps and provide a proposal for how we could support you. There’s no obligation — just a useful conversation to see if we’re the right fit.
I’m too busy for a meeting right now.
We understand that running a dental practice can be hectic.
If now isn’t the right time for a call, you can send us a message with a few details and we’ll come back to you with some initial thoughts.
Then we can arrange a conversation when it suits you.
