WHO I AM & WHY I CARE ABOUT DENTISTS
I help dentists build, grow or exit their practice without burning out.
You’ve probably never been taught how to run a business in dentistry. That’s where I come in.
I’ve spent over two decades building businesses that support dentists beyond the clinical - from practice finance and valuations to marketing, leadership, and long-term growth. Through the FTA Group, including FTA Finance, FTA Wealth, and FTA Media, I help practice owners access expert advice, tailored services, and the tools they need to build and exit successful businesses.
Whether I’m speaking on stage, advising one-to-one, or developing new ventures, my focus is always the same: helping dentists lead with confidence, make smarter business decisions, and unlock the full value of their practice.
MY EXPERTISE
Frank Taylor & Associates (acquired by Andy in 2000) has grown into the UK’s leading dental practice valuation and sales agency, guiding hundreds of dentists through practice acquisitions and transitions.
He also co-founded FTA Finance – an award-winning healthcare finance brokerage – and established FTA Financial & Wealth Management to provide specialised financial planning and wealth management services tailored to the dental profession.
Rounding out the portfolio, Andy launched FTA Media to deliver creative digital marketing and video content for dental practices.
Through Andy Acton’s entrepreneurial vision and leadership, these companies have collectively shaped the UK dental market by streamlining practice ownership transitions, improving access to finance and wealth management, and modernizing how dental businesses promote themselves
