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 rarely have one simple income stream. Combining professional eye care with sales of optical goods, equipment and staff costs makes the accounting picture more involved, particularly where tax and VAT rules apply differently to different supplies.
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.

Accountants for Opticians look after the financial side of optical work, from bookkeeping and Self Assessment to annual accounts, Corporation Tax and payroll. They also help with the practical detail that comes with selling spectacles and contact lenses alongside professional services, such as stock records, equipment costs and VAT where it applies.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and limited companies running optical businesses. Because sole traders, partnerships and limited companies are taxed differently and keep records differently, the right approach depends on how you are structured and how you earn your income.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists and locums often need help with Self Assessment, allowable expenses and keeping income records straight across multiple practices. A partner or limited company director has different reporting duties, so the services are matched to how you actually work rather than applied in the same way to everyone.
Yes. Bookkeeping keeps daily takings, supplier invoices, stock purchases and expenses organised, while Self Assessment deals with your personal tax position. How much of each you need depends on your circumstances, so the work is tailored to your income streams and whether you trade as a sole trader, partner or company director.
Yes. Annual accounts and Corporation Tax apply where you trade through a limited company, and the figures behind them rely on accurate records across the year. Practice owners and directors may also need management accounts to keep an eye on margins, staff costs and equipment spending before key decisions are made.
VAT depends on the nature of each supply. Professional optical services and the sale of spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods can be treated differently, and the position is not identical for every business. It is worth reviewing your particular services, products and turnover to confirm how VAT applies to you.
Yes. Payroll support covers practice staff, whether that is optometrists, dispensing opticians, reception and retail teams. It can include payslips, PAYE, pension duties and reporting to HMRC, and where practices work with self-employed locums or contractors, the records for those payments can be handled as part of the same bookkeeping process.
Yes, moving from another accountant is usually straightforward. Records, accounts and tax information can be transferred and reviewed so you start the new arrangement with a clear picture. The exact steps depend on your structure and reporting dates, and any outstanding filing or deadlines would be checked as part of the handover.
