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 practices combine professional services with the sale of goods, and that mix can make bookkeeping, tax and reporting considerably more involved than for a business with a single, straightforward 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.

They handle the accounting and tax work optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where it applies. Just as importantly, they understand how professional optical income and sales of spectacles, contact lenses and other goods sit alongside each other in your records.
Sole trader optometrists and dispensing opticians, locums, partners and limited company practice owners can all be supported. The accounts and tax work differs depending on how you are structured and how you earn income, so support is shaped around your circumstances rather than a fixed template.
Yes. Self-employed and locum professionals typically need help with record keeping, expenses and Self Assessment, particularly where they work across more than one practice or hold income from several sources. How that income is reported depends on your individual circumstances and how the work is arranged.
It varies. Many practices need bookkeeping, annual accounts and either Corporation Tax or Self Assessment, with payroll for staff and VAT support where relevant. Practices holding frame and lens stock, or investing in equipment, may also benefit from management accounts and tax planning to keep a clear view of profitability.
Frames, lenses, contact lenses and consumables should be tracked so you can see what stock is held and what it costs. Business expenses such as equipment, professional fees and premises costs need supporting records. Which costs can be claimed, and how, depends on the nature of the expense and your circumstances.
Possibly. Optical businesses often make a mix of supplies, and professional services can be treated differently from goods such as spectacles and contact lenses. Whether you need to register, and how each supply is treated, depends on the nature of the supply and your own circumstances, so it is worth reviewing properly.
Yes, changing accountant is generally a straightforward process. Once you get in touch, practical steps such as records and authorisations can be worked through so your bookkeeping, accounts and tax filings continue without disruption.
Get in touch and tell us how you work, whether you are a sole trader, partner or limited company, and what you need help with. From there, the relevant accounting and tax requirements can be identified and ongoing support discussed.
