I have been with Crunch for many years. I wanted to express my appreciation for the exceptional services provided by Crunch. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and expertise have been invaluable in managing my finances effectively. Working with them has been a pleasure, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking reliable and knowledgeable accountants.

As someone that’s new to being self employed, Crunch made the whole set up process easy. From my initial call to understand the process, the check ins to see how I was doing to actually going ahead. Once I was set up the support team were amazing at answering the millions of questions I had and they’re always at the end of the phone or email if I need them. I even had a full 45 minute call to walk through the full system which was amazing.

I really appreciated the way the Crunch staff member adjusted to my knowledge and confidence level - which was relatively low. She helped me work out what I needed to do and was incredibly helpful and patient as I went through my interminable snagging list. This has been my experience with Crunch staff in general - but when tasks build up, it's easy to put off direct contact - when, in fact, this makes all the difference.

You may be paid directly for your time by the NHS as a sole trader, or you may be working exclusively in the private sector as a limited company. If either of these two scenarios apply to you, Crunch can support you with our Sole Trader Pro or Limited Company Pro packages, where you'll have access to a team of expert client managers and Chartered Certified accountants!

If you're working as a limited company, but also receiving an income from the NHS as a sole trader, things can get a little more complicated, since you'll need to calculate and report your NHS pension contributions in your annual Self Assessment. We offer a special, optional add-on to our limited company package specifically for dental practitioners who work as both a sole trader and a limited company.

No matter how you work, we have a perfect accounting solution for your business!
