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.

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 single accounting pattern. Professional fees, retail sales of spectacles and contact lenses, stock, costly equipment and several income streams can all sit within one practice, which makes accurate record keeping and correct tax treatment more involved than it first appears.
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.

They look after the accounting and tax affairs of optical professionals and businesses. That can include bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable, along with practical advice on how professional income, optical goods sales, stock and practice expenses should be recorded and reported.
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, requirements are reviewed individually rather than assumed, and the services provided depend on how you trade, earn income and are structured.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and locum opticians often need help with Self Assessment, keeping records of professional fees and travel between practices, and understanding which costs can be claimed. The exact treatment depends on individual circumstances, so it is worth reviewing your own position rather than assuming a standard answer.
It varies. A single-handed practice may only need bookkeeping and annual accounts, while a larger limited company may also need payroll, management accounts, Corporation Tax and VAT support. Services are matched to the practice's structure, staff, stock levels and income streams, so not every optical business requires the same level of support.
Spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods are stock items, so purchases, sales and closing stock need recording accurately to show the right profit figure. Their VAT treatment can differ from professional services, so it is worth checking the position for your own supplies and circumstances.
Possibly. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business. Professional optical services and the sale of optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently, and some supplies may be zero-rated while others are standard-rated. Mixed income streams make that review especially important.
Yes. Changing accountant is usually straightforward, and we can take over the records you already hold. It helps to have your latest accounts, tax returns and bookkeeping reasonably up to date so the transition is clean and nothing important is missed during the handover.
Get in touch and tell us about your practice or professional work — your structure, income streams and the support you are looking for. We can then review your accounting needs and explain how ongoing support would work for your circumstances.
