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 template. Mixing professional services with retail sales, stock, equipment and staff means income, costs and tax treatment can be more layered than they first appear, so accurate records and clear advice matter.
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.

Management accounts that show where the profit actually comes from, test by test and branch by branch.

They handle the accounting and tax side of an optical business or individual practice — bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies. Because opticians often combine professional services with the sale of spectacles and contact lenses, that mix needs to be reflected accurately.
Support is available for self-employed optometrists and locums, dispensing opticians, independent optical practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. Sole traders generally need different reporting to a practice with employees, stock and premises, so the starting point is always how your business is structured and run.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locums and dispensing opticians often need help with Self Assessment, record keeping and understanding which expenses can be claimed. If you work across several practices or combine locum sessions with your own clinic, the way income and costs are recorded needs to reflect that properly.
It depends on the practice. Limited company practices commonly need annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and management accounts, while smaller businesses may mainly need bookkeeping and Self Assessment. Stock, equipment, premises costs and separate income streams are all part of the picture, and VAT support may be relevant too.
Frames, lenses and contact lenses should be tracked as stock, with purchases and sales recorded consistently so margins and year-end figures make sense. Equipment, professional fees, premises costs and staff payments should be captured as business expenses supported by proper records, with claimable amounts depending on your circumstances.
Possibly. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply — professional optical services and the sale of spectacles, contact lenses or other goods can be treated differently, and exemption or standard-rating may apply depending on the circumstances. It is worth reviewing your turnover and the mix of what you supply.
Yes. Switching usually involves us gathering information about your business and reviewing your current records, and the timing can often be planned around your accounting year end. It is worth checking your existing arrangements first, and we can talk through what is involved before you decide.
