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 template. Income can come from professional services, goods, or a mix of both, and stock, equipment and premises costs all need thoughtful treatment. That mix is what makes bookkeeping and tax planning more involved than many expect.
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.

They handle the day-to-day accounting and tax work behind an optical business or career, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable, while keeping records organised and deadlines met. The exact work depends on how you are structured and how you earn your income.
Support is available to independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed locums, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. Because roles and business models differ, the accounting arrangements are matched to how each professional or practice actually operates rather than a single fixed package.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locum opticians and dispensing opticians often need help with Self Assessment, allowable expenses and record keeping across multiple engagements. Where earnings, expenses or business structure vary, the reporting position is reviewed individually rather than assumed.
That varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts and Corporation Tax, while some also require management accounts, VAT support and tax planning. Services relating to stock, equipment, premises and different income streams can be included where they are relevant to the practice's circumstances.
Sales of spectacles and contact lenses are business income and form part of turnover, with the related costs of frames, lenses and stock recorded as expenses. For VAT, the treatment of optical goods and professional services can differ, so each supply needs to be considered on its own facts.
Possibly, depending on turnover and the nature of supplies. Optical businesses often provide both professional services and goods, and these can carry different VAT treatments. Because the position depends on the specific supplies and circumstances of the business, it is worth reviewing rather than assuming one rule applies.
Yes. Payroll support can cover optometrists, dispensing opticians, optical assistants, reception staff and practice managers, including PAYE, National Insurance and pension duties, as well as payments to locums or contractors where relevant.
In most cases, yes. Moving accountants usually involves confirming your current position, gathering records and corresponding with your existing firm if needed. The aim is to keep the transition smooth so accounts, returns and payroll continue without disruption.
