Reports showing tests per day, dispensing conversion, margin per branch and profit trends, so decisions are based on real numbers.
Optical businesses rarely have a single, simple income stream. Sight tests, spectacles, contact lenses, equipment and staff each come with their own accounting and tax questions, which is why support that understands the sector can make a real difference.
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.

They handle the day-to-day accounting and tax work of optical professionals and practices. That can include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support, alongside advice on how mixed income from professional services and optical goods should be recorded and reported.
They can support independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, locums and self-employed optical professionals, as well as practice owners trading as sole traders, partnerships or limited companies. The services provided are matched to how each individual or business operates and earns its income.
Yes. Locums and self-employed optical professionals usually need help with record keeping, expenses and Self Assessment, including how income from different practices and any goods supplied should be treated. The exact position depends on your circumstances and how you are engaged.
That depends on the practice. Many need bookkeeping, annual accounts, Corporation Tax and payroll, while others also want management accounts, tax planning or VAT support. Whether VAT is relevant depends on your supplies, since professional services and optical goods can be treated differently.
Frames, lenses and contact lenses should be tracked as stock, with purchases, usage and closing values recorded consistently. Practice expenses such as equipment, premises costs and professional fees should be kept with supporting records so their treatment can be reviewed and claimed where the rules allow.
Possibly. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business. Professional optical services and the supply of spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods can be treated differently, so it is worth reviewing your position rather than assuming a blanket rule applies.
Yes. Employed optometrists, dispensing opticians, optical assistants and administrative staff all bring payroll obligations, including PAYE, National Insurance and pension duties. Support can also cover payments to locums and other contractors, whose treatment differs from that of employees.
Yes, switching is usually straightforward. We can review your current records and position, identify anything outstanding, and take over the relevant filings and deadlines. It helps to have your latest accounts, tax returns and bookkeeping access available when you get in touch.
