See what doctors, dentists, and care providers say about working with us.
GOS income reconciliation, VAT apportionment between exempt sight tests and taxable dispensing, stock control and owner profit extraction.
Self-assessment, IR35 status on agency work, GOC and professional fees, mileage between practices and equipment claims.
Management accounts per branch, partial exemption calculations, payroll for optical assistants and funding for new sites.
Ophthalmology and refractive surgery providers: company accounts, VAT on cosmetic versus medical treatment and capital allowances on equipment.
Incorporation reviews, capital allowances on OCT scanners and consulting room fit-out, and profit extraction planning for practice owners.
Payroll for optometrists, dispensing opticians and optical assistants, plus auto-enrolment, statutory pay and locum payments.
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 often combine clinical professional services with the sale of spectacles, contact lenses and other goods. That mix can make bookkeeping, tax and VAT more detailed than for a business with a single income stream.
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.

Accountants for Opticians provide accounting and tax support tailored to optical professionals and businesses. This can include bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable, helping you keep accurate records and understand your financial position. The exact services depend on your circumstances and business structure.
Accountants for Opticians can support independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. The right accounting approach depends on how each professional or business earns income, supplies optical goods and is structured, so support is not identical for every client.
Yes, support is available for self-employed opticians, optometrists and dispensing opticians. Many need help with Self Assessment, bookkeeping, allowable expenses and records for professional income, optical goods or stock. The way income and costs are treated can depend on individual circumstances, so advice should reflect your actual working arrangements.
Optical practices may need bookkeeping, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll, management accounts and VAT support where applicable. Because they can sell spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods alongside professional services, records may need to separate different income streams. Not every practice needs every service.
Yes. CruseBurke can help with bookkeeping, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and annual accounts, along with related tax administration. For optical businesses, that can include recording professional fees, optical goods, stock, equipment and expenses clearly. The right level of support depends on your structure, turnover and circumstances.
Stock such as frames, lenses and contact lenses should be recorded accurately so cost of sales and margins are clear. Business expenses may include equipment, premises costs, staff wages and professional fees, but treatment can vary. Good records help support your accounts and tax returns.
VAT can apply to optical businesses, but treatment depends on the nature of each supply. Professional optical services and optical goods such as spectacles or contact lenses may have different VAT considerations, and registration depends on taxable turnover and circumstances. Specialist advice can help you review your position.
