They look after the day-to-day accounting and tax affairs of optical professionals and practices. That can include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies, with records structured around eye care income, optical goods and practice costs.
Independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and limited companies. The right approach depends on how you trade, how you earn income and how the business is structured, so support is tailored rather than applied in the same way to everyone.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and dispensing opticians typically need Self Assessment, accurate records of professional income and expenses such as equipment, insurance and travel, and a clear view of how optical goods or retail sales fit into their overall income.
It varies. Many optical practices need annual accounts, bookkeeping, payroll and Corporation Tax support, while others also want management accounts, tax planning or VAT advice. The appropriate mix depends on size, structure, staffing, stock levels and the range of services and goods supplied.
Frames, lenses and contact lenses should be tracked as stock, with purchases and sales matched so margins remain visible. Equipment, indemnity cover, registration fees and premises costs are usually recorded as business expenses, although the exact treatment depends on the item and how it is used.
Often they do, but the position is not uniform. Professional optical services and the supply of goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently for VAT, so the treatment depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business.
Yes. Payroll support can cover optometrists, dispensing opticians, optical assistants and reception staff, including PAYE and pension duties, and it can also account for locum or contractor payments where those arrangements apply to your practice.
Yes, and the transition is usually straightforward. We can review your current records, identify what needs to be carried over and keep compliance on track during the change, so your accounting and tax deadlines are not disrupted.
