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 mould. Clinical income, retail sales of spectacles and contact lenses, stock, equipment and staff costs can all sit within one practice, and each area brings its own record-keeping and tax questions.
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 optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts and Corporation Tax. The exact scope depends on your circumstances, as a self-employed optometrist and a limited company practice with staff, stock and optical goods sales will have quite different requirements.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, locum and self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and limited company optical businesses. Because roles and business models differ, the accounting work is matched to how you earn income and how your business is structured, whether as a sole trader, partnership or limited company.
Yes. If you provide locum sessions, sight tests or other professional services as a sole trader, you will usually need records of income and allowable expenses plus a Self Assessment tax return. If you also sell spectacles or contact lenses, those sales need recording separately so your figures stay accurate.
Requirements vary. Many practices need bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts, Corporation Tax returns and management accounts. VAT support may also be relevant, while tax planning can help around equipment purchases, premises costs and how profits are taken. Not every practice needs every service, so the right mix depends on your circumstances.
Stock such as frames, lenses and contact lenses should be tracked so purchases, sales and remaining inventory stay clear. Business expenses may include testing equipment, fitting tools, professional fees, insurance, premises costs and staff wages. Records need to separate business from personal spending, and revenue items from capital items, as treatment can differ.
Possibly. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply. Professional optical services and supplies of optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently, and circumstances affect the outcome, including registration status. It is worth reviewing your specific services and products rather than assuming one rule covers everything.
Yes, changing accountant is usually straightforward. Once we understand your practice or professional work, we can discuss records, deadlines and any outstanding filings so the transition is handled properly. If you are approaching a year end or a Self Assessment deadline, it helps to start the conversation early.
Get in touch and tell us about your work or practice, including your structure, services, income streams, staff and any optical goods you sell. From there, the appropriate accounting and tax requirements can be identified and support arranged around what you actually need, with clear fees and no hidden extras.
