They handle the accounting and tax work that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax and payroll. They also help record professional income, optical goods and stock accurately, and explain how different supplies may be treated for VAT depending on your circumstances.
Support can be tailored to independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, locum and self-employed professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. Because each operates differently and earns income in different ways, the accounting approach is shaped around your structure, income streams and the services or goods you provide.
Yes. Sole traders and locums often need help with Self Assessment, keeping records of professional fees, expenses and any goods supplied, and understanding what can be claimed. If your work changes or you begin trading through a limited company, the support can be adjusted to suit your circumstances.
It varies. Some practices mainly need bookkeeping, payroll and annual accounts, while others need Corporation Tax support, management accounts, tax planning or VAT guidance on mixed supplies. A practice holding stock, equipment and multiple income streams often benefits from a fuller service, but the right mix depends on your circumstances.
Sales of spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods are usually recorded as trading income, separate from professional fees, with the related stock and supplier costs matched against them. VAT treatment can differ from professional services, so it is worth reviewing how each type of supply is handled in your records.
They may. Optical businesses often make a mix of supplies, and the VAT treatment of professional services can differ from that of optical goods. Whether VAT registration is required, and how each supply is treated, depends on your turnover, the nature of the supply and your individual circumstances, so advice should be tailored.
Yes. Bookkeeping can be kept up to date across professional fees, goods sales, stock purchases, equipment and practice costs, which then feeds into Self Assessment for sole traders and partners or annual accounts for limited companies. Keeping records organised throughout the year generally makes deadlines far less stressful.
