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 rarely have a single, simple income stream. Professional services, optical goods, stock, equipment and staff costs all interact, which is why accounting can become more complicated than it first appears.
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.

Accountants for Opticians handle the day-to-day financial and tax work of optical professionals and practices. That can include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable, all based on how your optical business actually earns its income.
Support is available to independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed locums, practice owners and other optical businesses. Sole traders, partnerships and limited companies can all be helped, with the work shaped around how the business is structured and the income it generates.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and locums often need bookkeeping, Self Assessment and clear records of professional income, plus accurate records of expenses such as equipment, travel or professional fees. The exact requirements depend on how you work and what you supply.
That depends on the practice. Many need bookkeeping, annual accounts, payroll and tax administration, while those selling spectacles and contact lenses usually need stock records and support with mixed income streams. VAT support may also be relevant, as different supplies can be treated differently.
Yes. Bookkeeping keeps income and expenses organised throughout the year, including multiple income streams, stock purchases and practice costs. Self Assessment support then helps ensure the figures reported are accurate and submitted on time, based on your individual circumstances.
Spectacles and contact lenses are usually treated as trading stock or sales of goods, so purchases, stock levels and sales need recording carefully. How they are treated for VAT can differ from professional services, so each supply should be reviewed on its own facts.
VAT can apply to optical businesses, but the treatment is not uniform. Professional optical services and optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently, and the position depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business. Registration thresholds also matter.
Yes, switching accountants is usually straightforward. We can review your current records and requirements, then take over the relevant bookkeeping, accounts, tax or payroll work. It helps to have your latest accounts, tax returns and records available so the transition runs smoothly.
