That tension is exactly what we tackle with Dr Barry Oulton and Shishir Khadka, a specialist dental accountant and CFO, as we lay out seven clear strategies designed for UK dental practice principals who want to keep more of what the business already earns.We start by getting brutally precise about the numbers most owners mix up: revenue, profit, cash and take-home pay. Shishir explains why production vs collection matters, how timing can overstate profit, and why “money in the bank” is not the same as taxable profit. From there, Barry makes the case for a big but simple shift: you are the owner and the practice is the operator. When you separate personal finances from the business, set a predictable salary and dividend rhythm, and hold a sensible cash reserve, you gain control, reduce stress, and protect exit value.We then move into practical UK dental tax planning, including the salary vs dividends conversation, pensions as a legitimate planning tool, and why structure across entities can matter for principals with an NHS contract, a private limited company, property, or education and IP income. We also zoom out to wealth building: creating an asset that can run without you, understanding the true cost of drifting without decisions, and tracking the one metric that tells the truth each month: net cash flow. We finish with what a 12-month financial game plan looks like and how real-time data can support better decisions on associate terms, investment timing and tax planning.———————————————————————Disclaimer: All content on this channel is for education purposes only and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice.
