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 fit a simple accounting mould. Professional fees, product sales, stock and equipment sit alongside each other, and the way each is recorded and taxed can vary. Getting the detail right from the start saves time later.
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 day-to-day accounting and tax work that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, Self Assessment, annual accounts, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable. Because they work with optical businesses, they understand the mix of professional fees, spectacle and contact lens sales, stock and equipment.
We work with self-employed optometrists and locums, dispensing opticians, independent optical practices, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. The support is tailored to how each person or business operates, since a sole trader selling little stock has different needs from a practice employing several staff and holding significant frame and lens inventory.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locums and dispensing opticians often need help with Self Assessment, allowable expenses, record keeping and, in some cases, whether trading through a limited company would suit them. The right approach depends on your circumstances, so we look at your income and working arrangements before advising.
Yes. If you run an optical practice through a limited company, we can prepare annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns, and help with the records and deadlines that support them. Directors' pay, dividends, equipment purchases and stock all feed into the figures, so getting the detail right matters.
Frames, lenses, contact lenses and accessories should be recorded as stock and purchases, with accurate figures at your year end. Business expenses such as testing equipment, software, insurance and practice premises costs should be kept separate and supported by records, since not every cost is treated the same way.
VAT depends entirely on your circumstances. Registration is compulsory once taxable turnover passes the threshold, and optical businesses can have different VAT considerations because professional services and optical goods may be treated differently. Some supplies may be exempt while others are standard-rated, so each situation needs reviewing on its own facts.
Yes. If you employ optometrists, dispensing opticians, optical assistants, reception or management staff, we can support payroll, PAYE and related administration. Where practices engage self-employed associates or locums, we can also help you consider the records and status questions that can arise.
Get in touch and tell us about your practice or your work as an optical professional. We will discuss your structure, income, stock and any concerns, then explain the services that fit and what is needed from you. If you are moving from another accountant, we can talk through the transition.
