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, which is why their accounting can become more involved than it first appears. Professional fees, retail sales of optical goods, stock and equipment all need to be tracked separately and accurately.
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 accounting and tax work behind an optical business. That can include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, Self Assessment, payroll and VAT support where relevant, along with tax planning. The exact work depends on how your practice or professional role is structured and what income you receive.
Support is available to independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited company optical practices. Each has different accounting needs, so the services provided are matched to your structure and circumstances rather than applied as a fixed package.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and dispensing opticians often need help with Self Assessment, bookkeeping and allowable expenses, including equipment, professional costs and travel. If you work through a limited company instead, Corporation Tax and payroll usually become relevant. We can review your situation and confirm what applies.
It varies. Many optical practices need bookkeeping, annual accounts and payroll, while limited companies also need Corporation Tax returns and confirmation statements. VAT support may be needed depending on turnover and the nature of supplies. Stock, equipment, premises costs and different income streams all feed into how those services are set up.
They may. VAT treatment depends on the nature of each supply and the circumstances of the business. Some professional optical services and the supply of spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods can be treated differently, so it is worth reviewing your specific activities rather than assuming one rule applies across the whole practice.
Yes. Frames, lenses, contact lenses and other stock need consistent recording so that purchases, sales and closing stock are reflected accurately in your accounts. Business expenses such as equipment, professional fees and premises costs are reviewed against the relevant rules, as not every cost is treated in the same way.
Yes, switching is usually straightforward. We can review your current position and coordinate the handover of records so the change happens at a sensible point in the year. Clear fees and transparent communication are part of how we work with optical professionals and practices.
Get in touch and tell us about your optical business or professional role — your structure, income streams, stock and any current accounting concerns. From there we can identify the relevant services and explain what happens next, with no hidden fees or jargon along the way.
