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 accounting and tax work that comes with running an optical business or working as an optical professional. That can include bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies, always based on how your practice or role is structured.
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 work is tailored to how you earn income and how your business is set up rather than applied in the same way to everyone.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locums and dispensing opticians often have straightforward but specific needs, including Self Assessment, records of income and expenses, and clarity on allowable costs. Where someone works across more than one practice or mixes locum work with other income, the reporting can be adjusted to reflect that.
It varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, annual accounts and payroll, while others also need Corporation Tax, VAT support or management accounts. A practice selling spectacles and contact lenses alongside professional services may have additional stock and record-keeping requirements. The right combination depends on your structure, turnover and circumstances.
Frames, lenses, contact lenses and accessories should be tracked so that stock levels and costs are accurate at year end, and so you can see which products actually make money. Business expenses such as equipment, premises costs, insurance and professional fees should be recorded with supporting documents. What counts as allowable depends on individual circumstances.
Potentially, yes. Optical businesses often make a mix of supplies, including professional services and optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses, and these can have different VAT treatments depending on the nature of the supply and the circumstances of the business. It is worth reviewing your position rather than assuming one rule applies to everything.
Yes, in most cases switching is straightforward. We would need details of your current position, confirmation of what has already been filed, and access to your records. Any handover points can be discussed so that deadlines and ongoing compliance are not disrupted during the change.
Get in touch and tell us about your practice or role: how you are structured, where your income comes from, and what you need help with. From there we can confirm which accounting and tax services are relevant and how the ongoing support would work for you.
