Who we work with

Why Dentists Choose Compass Accounts

At Compass Accounts, we work exclusively with dentists across the UK, helping associates, locums, and practice owners save tax, stay compliant, and plan for the future. This includes advising on when it’s the right time to restructure from a sole trader to operating under a limited company, a move that can significantly reduce your tax bill, protect your assets, and create new opportunities for growth.
