GOS income reconciliation, VAT apportionment between exempt sight tests and taxable dispensing, stock control and owner profit extraction.
Self-assessment, IR35 status on agency work, GOC and professional fees, mileage between practices and equipment claims.
Management accounts per branch, partial exemption calculations, payroll for optical assistants and funding for new sites.
Ophthalmology and refractive surgery providers: company accounts, VAT on cosmetic versus medical treatment and capital allowances on equipment.
Incorporation reviews, capital allowances on OCT scanners and consulting room fit-out, and profit extraction planning for practice owners.

Cloud bookkeeping that reconciles GOS payments, private fees and retail till takings so your figures are accurate all year.
Sight tests are exempt while frames and lenses are taxable, so a mixed supply needs apportioning. We use an HMRC-acceptable method and defend it if queried.
Reports showing tests per day, dispensing conversion, margin per branch and profit trends, so decisions are based on real numbers.
Optical businesses rarely fit a single accounting template. Professional eye care, retail sales of spectacles and contact lenses, stock, equipment and premises costs all behave differently in the accounts, so a tailored approach helps avoid surprises.
GOS income, voucher values, partial exemption and dispensing margin — no explaining required.
Independents, multiples and locum optometrists each get a different service, not a template.
We use a defensible apportionment method and keep the workings ready in case HMRC asks.
One agreed monthly fee with no hourly billing and no surprises at year end.
Management accounts that show where the profit actually comes from, test by test and branch by branch.

They handle the day-to-day accounting and tax work that optical professionals and practices need: bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable. Just as importantly, they understand how professional eye care income, spectacle and contact lens sales, stock, equipment and premises costs fit together in your records.
We work with self-employed optometrists and dispensing opticians, independent opticians, partnerships, practice owners, locums and limited companies running optical businesses. Because roles and business models differ, the support is matched to how you earn income, whether you hold stock, employ staff, or operate from your own premises.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, dispensing opticians and locums often need straightforward bookkeeping, Self Assessment and practical tax planning, particularly where income comes from several sources such as locum sessions, eye examinations and retail sales. The exact treatment depends on your circumstances and how the work is arranged.
It varies. A small practice may need bookkeeping, annual accounts and payroll, while a limited company also needs Corporation Tax returns and may want management accounts. Stock records, equipment costs and VAT support become more relevant as the practice grows. The right mix depends on your structure, income streams and how the business is run.
Frames, lenses and contact lenses are usually treated as trading stock, so purchases, stock levels and sales all affect your gross profit and year-end figures. Equipment such as testing instruments is handled differently, and how something is recorded and claimed can depend on the item and how it is used in the business.
Possibly. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business. Professional optical services and the supply of optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently, and mixed supplies can complicate matters. It is worth reviewing how your income streams are classified before assuming a position either way.
Yes. Switching is usually straightforward, and we can take on the handover of your records and deal with the practical steps involved. Having recent accounts, bookkeeping records and tax correspondence to hand helps the process run smoothly, so we can pick up your accounting without unnecessary disruption.
Get in touch and tell us about your practice or professional work — how you are structured, where your income comes from and what support you need. From there we can review your accounting requirements and confirm the services that apply, so you know exactly what is covered before anything begins.
