They handle the accounting and tax affairs of optical professionals and businesses, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where relevant. Because they understand professional fees, optical goods and practice costs, records are kept in a way that reflects how an optical business actually trades.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies, as well as other optical businesses. The accounting requirements differ depending on how each professional or business is structured and earns its income.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and locum opticians often need help with record keeping, expenses and Self Assessment, particularly when they work across several practices or receive income from more than one source. The exact reporting requirements will depend on individual circumstances.
It depends on the practice. Common requirements include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Corporation Tax or Self Assessment, payroll for clinical and support staff, management accounts, tax planning and VAT support where applicable. Practices selling optical goods as well as providing professional services often need more detailed records than a service-only business.
Yes. Bookkeeping can be maintained throughout the year, separating professional income, product sales, stock purchases and allowable expenses. Self Assessment support covers preparing and filing returns, with tax calculated according to your circumstances, your business structure and the income you have actually received.
Yes. Limited companies need annual accounts and a Corporation Tax return, and the figures must be consistent across both. Support can include preparing statutory accounts from your records, identifying allowable deductions such as equipment and professional costs, and meeting the relevant filing deadlines.
Stock such as frames, lenses and contact lenses should be tracked so that purchases, closing stock and cost of sales are recorded accurately. Supplier invoices, stock adjustments and wastage all affect your figures, so consistent record keeping makes your year-end accounts and tax position clearer.
Possibly. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business. Professional optical services and the supply of optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently, so registration and treatment should be reviewed individually rather than assumed.
