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

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 template. With professional fees, retail sales of optical goods, stock, expensive equipment and staffing all in the mix, keeping records accurate and tax treatment correct takes care.
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 accounting and tax work specific to optical businesses, including bookkeeping for professional fees and optical goods sales, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable. The aim is accurate records, correct tax treatment and useful financial information for the practice.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. Requirements differ depending on structure and how income is earned, so the work is tailored rather than applied in the same way to everyone.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and locum opticians typically need Self Assessment, robust bookkeeping and a clear record of professional income and allowable expenses. Where a practice also supplies optical goods, those sales and any related stock need to be recorded separately so the accounts reflect what actually happened.
It varies. A limited company practice may need annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and management accounts, while a sole trader or partnership may focus on Self Assessment and bookkeeping. VAT support, tax planning and help with business structure can be relevant too, depending on individual circumstances.
Frames, lenses, contact lenses and consumables should be tracked so stock values are accurate at the year end. Expenses such as equipment, premises costs, professional fees and staff costs need supporting records. How items are treated depends on whether they are purchases, assets or ongoing costs.
Potentially, yes. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply. Professional optical services and the supply of spectacles, contact lenses or other optical goods can be treated differently, and registration status affects the position. It is worth reviewing the specific supplies rather than assuming one rule covers everything.
Yes. Payroll support covers practice staff and can account for different arrangements, including employees and payments to locums or associates. Self Assessment support is available for sole traders and partners, with income and expenses recorded so returns are prepared from accurate underlying figures.
Yes, switching is usually straightforward. The process involves confirming your current position, gathering records and aligning the change with your accounting period so nothing is missed. It helps to plan the move around your year end and any upcoming filing deadlines.
