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.

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 mould. Professional eye care, retail sales of spectacles and contact lenses, stock, equipment and staffing all create financial records that need careful separation and consistent treatment throughout the year.
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. That can include bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable. The exact mix depends on whether you are a sole trader, in a partnership or running a limited company.
Independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, locum and self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and larger optical businesses. Because roles and business models differ, the support is tailored to how you earn income, whether that is professional eye care, sales of spectacles and contact lenses, or a combination.
Yes. Self-employed and locum professionals usually need help with record keeping, allowable expenses and Self Assessment, and some also register for VAT depending on their turnover and the nature of their supplies. Individual circumstances are reviewed before any recommendation is made.
It varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts and Corporation Tax support, while others may also need management accounts, tax planning or VAT advice. Practices selling spectacles and contact lenses alongside professional services often need help keeping those income streams clearly separated.
Frames, lenses and contact lenses held for sale should be tracked as stock, with purchases and sales recorded consistently so margins remain visible. Equipment, premises costs and professional expenses are usually treated according to whether they are capital or revenue spending, which depends on the item and your circumstances.
Possibly. Professional optical services and supplies of optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently for VAT, and the position depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business. It is worth reviewing your supplies and turnover before assuming any particular treatment applies.
Yes, many businesses change accountants at some point. The practical steps usually involve confirming your current position, gathering records such as recent accounts and tax returns, and agreeing a sensible point to hand over. We can talk through what is involved for your practice.
Get in touch and tell us how your practice or professional work is structured and what you need help with. We can then discuss which accounting and tax services are relevant, whether that is bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, payroll or VAT support, and how to move forward.
