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.

They handle the accounting and tax work that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable. They also help with record keeping for professional income, optical goods, stock, equipment and premises costs, so your records reflect how the business operates.
Support can suit independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners and limited companies within the optical sector. Requirements differ depending on how you work and how your business is structured, so the starting point is always understanding your individual circumstances.
Yes. Self-employed opticians and optometrists typically need help with Self Assessment, record keeping and expenses, while those running a practice may also need payroll, VAT and annual accounts support. What applies to you depends on your income, how you are structured and your circumstances.
It varies. Some practices mainly need bookkeeping, payroll and annual accounts, while others also require Corporation Tax support, management accounts, tax planning and VAT help. Practices selling spectacles and contact lenses often need professional income and retail sales clearly separated in their records.
Yes. Bookkeeping keeps daily income and costs organised, while Self Assessment covers your personal tax position. For optical professionals, this often involves recording professional fees alongside any income from optical goods, and making sure costs such as equipment, stock and practice expenses are captured accurately.
Possibly. Optical businesses may provide professional optical services as well as supplying spectacles, contact lenses and other goods, and different supplies can have different VAT treatments. Whether VAT registration and reporting apply depends on your turnover, the nature of your supplies and your circumstances, so it is worth reviewing properly.
Yes. Switching accountants is usually more straightforward than people expect and does not need to disrupt your practice. Once we understand your business, we can review your existing records and take over the relevant accounting and tax work.
Get in touch and tell us how your practice or professional work is set up, including your structure, income streams and any optical goods or stock you handle. From there we can identify the accounting and tax support that fits your circumstances and explain the next steps clearly.
