See what doctors, dentists, and care providers say about working with us.
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.
Payroll for optometrists, dispensing opticians and optical assistants, plus auto-enrolment, statutory pay and locum payments.
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 simple mould. Professional fees, retail sales of spectacles and contact lenses, stock and equipment all behave differently in the accounts, which is why understanding the detail matters.
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.
You deal with the same qualified person every time, by phone or email, not a call centre.

They handle the accounting and tax work that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable. They also help with record keeping for professional income, spectacles, contact lenses, stock and equipment, and can advise on business structure.
They work with independent optical practices, practice owners and partners, self-employed optometrists, locum optometrists, dispensing opticians and limited companies running one or more practices. The right support depends on how you are structured and how you earn income, so requirements are reviewed individually rather than applied in the same way to everyone.
Yes. Sole traders and partners typically need Self Assessment, accurate bookkeeping and practical guidance on allowable expenses. That can include locum fees, equipment, professional fees, travel between practice locations and stock where relevant. If you also work through a limited company, different rules and deadlines apply, and the two situations are kept separate.
Stock such as frames, lenses and contact lenses should be recorded consistently so the figures in your accounts remain meaningful. Expenses are generally only allowable where they are incurred wholly and exclusively for the business, and the treatment depends on your individual circumstances. Keeping receipts and clear records throughout the year is far easier than reconstructing them at year end.
VAT can be relevant, but the treatment is not uniform. Optical businesses may make supplies of professional services as well as spectacles, contact lenses and other goods, and different supplies can fall under different VAT rules. Whether you need to register, and how each supply should be treated, depends on your turnover, the nature of the supply and your circumstances.
Yes, for limited companies. Annual accounts and Corporation Tax are prepared together so the figures and disclosures stay consistent. If you run a practice through a company, payroll for staff and any directors, plus VAT support where relevant, can be handled alongside the year-end work.
Switching is usually straightforward. We can review your current position, agree what information is needed and communicate with your existing accountant on your behalf where you ask us to. Timing around your year end and filing deadlines is worth planning, so it helps to start the conversation well before a deadline is close.
Get in touch and tell us about your practice — how it is structured, how you earn income and what support you currently have. From there we can outline the relevant services, agree clear fees and set out what is needed to get your records in order.
