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 blend clinical work with retail sales, and that mix shapes the numbers. Professional income, stock, equipment, premises and staff costs all need careful handling, which is why accounting can become more involved than in a purely service-based business.
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.

Accountants for Opticians look after the financial administration of optical professionals and practices. That can include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable, plus help recording professional income, optical goods, stock and everyday practice expenses accurately.
We work with independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. The right level of support depends on how you trade, how you earn income and how your business is structured, so we look at your circumstances first.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and locums often need Self Assessment support, clear records of professional income and guidance on allowable expenses such as equipment, travel and professional fees. A sole trader working alone has quite different requirements from a practice employing several members of staff.
It varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts and Corporation Tax, plus management accounts to track performance. Others need VAT support or help reviewing their business structure. The appropriate services depend on whether you are a sole trader, partnership or limited company and on the supplies you make.
Frames, lenses, contact lenses and optical equipment should be recorded accurately so purchases, stock levels and costs are reflected properly in your accounts. Some equipment and practice costs may attract relief, but the treatment depends on the item, how it is used and your circumstances, so tailored advice matters.
They may. Professional optical services and optical goods can have different VAT treatments, and the position depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business. Registration thresholds are relevant too, so it is worth reviewing how your services and products are treated rather than assuming one rule fits all.
Yes. Changing accountants is usually straightforward. We can review your current records, confirm what is needed and coordinate the handover so that Self Assessment, annual accounts or payroll deadlines are not missed while the transition takes place.
Get in touch and tell us about your practice or professional work, how you are structured and what you need help with. From there we can outline the services that fit your situation and explain our fees clearly before any work begins.
