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 mould. Clinical work, retail sales of spectacles and contact lenses, stock, equipment and staff costs often sit alongside each other, so bookkeeping, tax and VAT questions can need more thought than they first appear to.
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 that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies. The exact service mix depends on how you trade, your structure and the income streams you have.
Support can cover self-employed optometrists and dispensing opticians, locums, independent opticians with their own premises, partnerships and limited company practices. Because roles and business models differ, the accounting needs of each are not the same, and the approach is tailored accordingly.
It varies. Some practices mainly need bookkeeping, payroll and annual accounts, while others also need Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, management accounts, tax planning and VAT support. Practices holding stock and selling optical goods often have more to record than those providing professional services alone.
Frames, lenses, contact lenses and accessories should be tracked in a way that supports accurate stock figures and gross margins. Equipment, premises costs and professional expenses need proper records too, since whether something can be claimed depends on individual circumstances.
Potentially, yes. Optical businesses often make a mix of supplies, and professional services and optical goods can be treated differently for VAT. Whether registration is required and how each supply is treated depends on the nature of the supply and the circumstances of the business, so it is worth reviewing carefully.
Yes. Payroll support can cover employed optometrists, dispensing opticians, optical assistants and administrative staff, including PAYE, pension duties and payslips. Where practices use self-employed contractors, the correct treatment of those payments should also be reviewed.
Yes, switching is usually straightforward. We can review your current position, confirm what records and information are needed, and take over the relevant bookkeeping, accounts and tax work. It often helps to time the change around your year end.
