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 sit somewhere between retail and professional services, which is exactly why their accounts can become complicated. Professional fees, goods, stock and equipment all behave differently, so the records need to reflect each of them clearly.
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.

They handle the day-to-day accounting and tax work for optical professionals and practices. That can include bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies. Just as importantly, they understand how professional fees, spectacles, contact lenses, stock and equipment fit together in your records.
Support is available to independent opticians, self-employed optometrists and locums, dispensing opticians, optical practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. Because each operates differently, the accounting requirements are matched to how you earn income and how your business is structured, rather than applying one fixed approach to everyone.
Yes. Self-employed opticians, locum optometrists and dispensing opticians often need Self Assessment, help with record keeping, and guidance on expenses such as equipment, insurance, professional fees and travel between practice locations. If your work changes or you take on practice premises, your structure and reporting needs may need reviewing too.
It varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts and annual accounts, plus Corporation Tax if they trade as a limited company, or partnership returns if they do not. VAT support may also be relevant. Stock, equipment, premises costs and several income streams usually mean the right mix depends on how the practice operates.
Sales of spectacles and contact lenses are business income and need recording alongside your professional fees. Purchases of frames, lenses and contact lenses are usually business costs, but how they are recorded depends on whether they are sold on, held as stock or used in the practice, so accurate records matter.
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 add further complexity. What you actually provide affects the position, so it is worth reviewing.
Yes. Payroll support can cover optometrists, dispensing opticians, optical assistants and reception staff, including wages, deductions, pension contributions and the reporting that comes with employing people. If you use self-employed contractors or locums, it is worth reviewing how those arrangements are treated, as the position depends on the working relationship.
Yes, switching is usually straightforward. We would review your current records and any outstanding filings, agree what needs bringing up to date, and take over the relevant accounting and tax work. Clear fees and transparent packages mean you know what is included from the start.
