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 have a single, simple income stream, and that is usually where the accounting gets more involved. Professional fees, goods sold, stock held and equipment used all interact, and each area can need its own treatment.
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.

They handle the accounting and tax administration behind an optical business, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, tax returns, payroll and VAT support where it applies. The focus is on keeping records that properly reflect professional fees, optical goods sales, stock and practice costs.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. The exact services depend on how you trade, how you earn income and how your business is structured.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locums and dispensing opticians typically need Self Assessment support, clear records of professional income and a sensible approach to claiming allowable expenses. Where income comes from several sources, that needs to be tracked separately.
Yes. Bookkeeping can be maintained throughout the year so figures are accurate and nothing is scrambled together at the deadline. Self Assessment then reflects your actual income and allowable expenses, which depends on your individual circumstances and how your business operates.
Yes, for optical practices trading through a limited company. Annual accounts and Corporation Tax calculations need to reflect professional fees, optical goods, stock, equipment and payroll correctly. The precise treatment depends on your structure and the nature of your transactions.
Frames, lenses and contact lenses should be tracked as stock, with purchases and cost of sales recorded consistently. Equipment, premises costs and professional expenses need to be separated clearly so claims are properly supported and the accounts give a true picture of the practice.
It depends on the nature of each supply. Professional optical services and the supply of optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently for VAT, and registration depends on your turnover. Each case needs reviewing on its own facts.
Yes. Moving accountants is a normal step and can be arranged as part of taking on your accounting. We would look at your current position, structure and requirements, then agree how the transition is handled before ongoing support begins.
