See what doctors, dentists, and care providers say about working with us.
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.
Payroll for optometrists, dispensing opticians and optical assistants, plus auto-enrolment, statutory pay and locum payments.
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 mould. Clinical work, retail sales, locum contracts and stock all interact, and that mix can make bookkeeping, tax reporting and VAT 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 handle the accounting and tax work specific to optical businesses: bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies. They also help with stock, equipment, premises costs and the different income streams an optical professional or practice may have.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and optical businesses structured as sole traders, partnerships or limited companies. The right approach depends on how each professional or practice operates, earns income and is set up.
Yes. Self-employed opticians and optometrists typically need Self Assessment, clear records of professional fees and expenses, and practical tax planning. Locum work, private fees and retail sales can all affect the position, so the way income and costs are recorded matters.
It varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts and Corporation Tax support, plus VAT advice where applicable. Practices also benefit from help tracking stock, optical equipment, premises costs and staff. Not every optical business needs every service, so the right mix depends on your circumstances.
Yes. Bookkeeping keeps your records accurate through the year, which makes Self Assessment far more straightforward. For sole traders and partners, returns can be prepared and filed, and for limited companies the company filings are handled alongside the director's personal return where needed.
Possibly. Optical businesses often supply professional services alongside goods such as spectacles and contact lenses, and these supplies can be treated differently for VAT. Whether registration is required and how each supply is treated depends on the nature of the supply and your individual circumstances.
Yes. Switching is usually straightforward. Your existing records can be reviewed, the information that needs transferring confirmed and the relevant filings taken over. If you are partway through a tax year, we make sure nothing is missed and explain each step clearly.
Get in touch and tell us about your practice or professional work — your structure, income streams and what support you need. We will review your requirements, explain the options clearly and set out a transparent package with no hidden fees before anything begins.
