They handle the day-to-day accounting and tax work that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies. The focus is on how optical income, stock, equipment and premises costs actually behave in practice.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and other optical businesses. The right approach depends on whether you operate as a sole trader, a partnership or a limited company, and on how your income is earned.
Yes. Locum and self-employed optometrists and opticians often have multiple income sources and varying expenses, which makes accurate records and timely Self Assessment important. We can help you keep track of professional fees, travel, equipment and other allowable costs so your return reflects your circumstances.
Yes, depending on your circumstances. Many optical practices need bookkeeping support and annual accounts, while limited companies also deal with Corporation Tax and director responsibilities. Sole traders and partners usually need Self Assessment instead. The services that apply depend on how your business is structured.
Frames, lenses and contact lenses should be recorded consistently, with purchases, stock levels and supplier costs reconciled so your figures reflect reality. Equipment, premises costs, professional fees and staff expenses should be logged as they arise. Good records make it easier to spot margin changes and support any reliefs you may be entitled to claim.
They are usually treated as trading stock or goods supplied by the business, so purchases, sales and remaining stock need to be recorded accurately. How they are treated for tax depends on your structure and circumstances, and the accounting treatment should match how the business actually operates.
It depends on turnover and the nature of your supplies. Professional optical services, spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods can have different VAT treatments, and registration thresholds and exemptions vary. It is worth reviewing your position, as the correct treatment depends on your individual circumstances.
Yes, switching is usually straightforward. We can review your current records, identify anything outstanding and work with your existing accountant where needed to obtain the information required. The aim is a smooth handover with no unnecessary disruption to your bookkeeping, payroll or filing deadlines.
