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.

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 retail sales, stock, equipment and staff costs. That mix can make bookkeeping, VAT and tax reporting more involved than for a business that only sells services.
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.

Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed locums, practice owners and other optical businesses. Because roles and business models differ, the accounting approach is tailored to how you earn and how your business is structured.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, dispensing opticians and locums often need Self Assessment, clear records of professional fees and locum income, and guidance on allowable expenses. Sole traders, partners and limited company directors all have different reporting requirements, so advice depends on your circumstances.
It varies. A practice selling spectacles and contact lenses may need bookkeeping, stock records, payroll, VAT support and annual accounts, while a single self-employed professional may only need Self Assessment. The right services depend on your structure, income and turnover.
Yes. Limited companies need annual accounts and a Corporation Tax return, and the figures must reflect professional income, optical goods sales, stock, equipment and allowable expenses. Deadlines and filing requirements depend on your company's circumstances and accounting period.
They are usually treated as trading stock or goods sold, so purchases, stock levels and sales need consistent recording. Accounting treatment and any VAT position can differ from professional service income, so it is worth reviewing how each supply is classified in your business.
Sometimes. VAT registration depends on turnover and the nature of your supplies. Professional optical services, spectacles, contact lenses and other goods may have different VAT treatments, so the position should be reviewed against your specific circumstances rather than assumed.
Switching is usually straightforward. We can review your current position, identify what records are needed and coordinate the handover so your bookkeeping and filing obligations continue without unnecessary disruption. The process depends on your existing arrangements and how up to date your records are.
Get in touch and tell us about your optical business, how it is structured and what support you are looking for. We can then outline the relevant accounting services and clear fees, with no hidden extras.
