Optical businesses rarely fit one accounting mould. Income may come from professional services as well as the sale of optical goods, while stock, equipment and staffing all shape the numbers you report.
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.

They handle the accounting and tax work optical professionals and practices need, from bookkeeping and Self Assessment to annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies. The focus is on income from professional services and optical goods, plus stock, equipment and the everyday costs of running a practice.
Support is available to independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and limited companies running optical businesses. Because roles and business models differ, the accounting approach is tailored to how you earn income and how your business is structured.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locum opticians and dispensing opticians often need help with record keeping, expenses and Self Assessment, particularly where income comes from several sources or sessions. Sole traders, partners and limited company directors each have different reporting and tax requirements, so advice reflects your own circumstances.
It varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts and Corporation Tax support, while others also want management accounts, tax planning or VAT guidance. Whether you are a sole trader, partnership or limited company, the right mix depends on your income streams, staffing, stock and equipment.
It depends. Optical businesses often make different types of supply, and professional services and optical goods can have different VAT treatments depending on the nature of each supply and your circumstances. Registration thresholds and the way supplies are categorised all matter, so VAT should be reviewed against your own position.
Yes. Payroll support can cover employed practice staff, as well as the treatment of payments to locums and other self-employed contractors, which are not handled in the same way. Getting this right matters for tax, record keeping and wider compliance.
Frames, lenses, contact lenses, testing equipment, fitting tools, practice rent and staff costs should all be recorded accurately and consistently. How each item is treated for tax depends on what it is and how it is used, so records should be kept clear and up to date.
