This one’s worth five minutes of your time if you’ve ever used a specialist dental accountant, whilst I don’t usually write warning‑style posts, but this one feels worth sharing.
Back in 2025, a financial adviser contacted me about an enquiry he’d had from a dentist.
The dentist was really stressed about a tax position they’d ended up in and just wanted to know:
“Does this look OK, or is there a problem?”
They had been working with Moor Green & Co, a Birmingham firm of accountants that specialised in dentists.
Looking at what I could see, my honest reaction was:
“This looks like a bit of a mess — but I can’t easily see how they’ve ended up here.”
There were multiple companies, a large HMRC bill, a Time to Pay arrangement, and money being taken from a new company to clear old tax problems.
Nothing obviously “wrong” on the surface — but it didn’t really make sense either.
That same feeling came back when I read this recent AccountingWEB article:

Moor Green were well known in dental circles. Because of that, there’s a real chance that a number of dentists may have followed similar advice, assuming it was normal or standard.
The biggest red flag I see in situations like this isn’t a structure or a tax saving.
It’s when a dentist says:
“I don’t really understand it, but my accountant said it was fine.”
If that sounds familiar, it doesn’t mean something is definitely wrong.
But it does mean it’s worth getting a second look.
if you’d like a quick sense‑check
If you’re unsure about:
- Advice you received years ago that you never fully understood
- An HMRC debt or Time to Pay arrangement you inherited
- A company structure that feels complicated for no obvious reason
you’re welcome to get in touch for an informal chat. Sometimes peace of mind is simply having someone explain things clearly — or confirm whether something needs another look.
