Cloud bookkeeping that reconciles GOS payments, private fees and retail till takings so your figures are accurate all year.

Accountants for Opticians handle the day-to-day financial side of an optical business, from bookkeeping and payroll to annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and VAT support where it applies. They also help with stock records, expenses and business structure, so the figures reflect how your practice actually trades.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and limited companies. Because each works differently, accounting and tax requirements are reviewed individually rather than applying one fixed approach to everyone.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locums and dispensing opticians often need help with Self Assessment, record keeping and expense claims, particularly where income comes from several sources. What can be claimed depends on your circumstances and how you work, so it is worth reviewing your position before filing.
It varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, payroll, annual accounts and tax returns, while others also require management accounts, tax planning or VAT support. The right mix depends on your structure, your income streams and whether you supply optical goods alongside professional services.
Yes. Bookkeeping keeps your income, stock, equipment and practice costs organised through the year, which makes Self Assessment far less stressful. Whether you file as a sole trader, a partner or a company director, the records need to match how your optical business earns its income.
Possibly. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply, and optical businesses often have a mix of professional services and goods such as spectacles, contact lenses and accessories. Different supplies can be treated differently, so it is important to review your specific circumstances rather than assume a blanket rule.
Yes. Payroll support covers employees such as dispensing opticians, optical assistants and reception staff, including PAYE, National Insurance and pension duties. Payments to locums and other contractors can raise different questions, so it helps to have those arrangements reviewed alongside your payroll.
Switching accountants is usually straightforward, and we can work with your existing records to make the transition as smooth as possible. It helps to time the move around your year end where practical, and we will confirm exactly what information is needed.
