Cloud bookkeeping that reconciles GOS payments, private fees and retail till takings so your figures are accurate all year.

Reports showing tests per day, dispensing conversion, margin per branch and profit trends, so decisions are based on real numbers.
Optical businesses combine clinical work with retail, which makes the numbers less straightforward than they first appear. Income arrives from several directions, stock moves constantly, and different supplies can be treated differently for tax and VAT.
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.
One agreed monthly fee with no hourly billing and no surprises at year end.
Management accounts that show where the profit actually comes from, test by test and branch by branch.

They handle the day-to-day accounting and tax administration that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable. The aim is accurate records, deadlines met and clear guidance on the financial decisions that matter most to your practice.
Support is available to self-employed optometrists, locum opticians, dispensing opticians, independent optical practices, practice owners and limited companies working in the optical sector. Accounting needs differ depending on how you trade, who you employ and whether you also sell spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locum opticians and dispensing opticians often need help with income records, allowable expenses, Self Assessment and payments on account. If you work across several practices, or mix locum work with employed income, organising your records clearly can make your tax position easier to manage.
It depends on the practice. Most need bookkeeping, annual accounts and tax returns, with payroll if they employ staff and VAT support if they are registered. Practices holding stock, equipment and premises often benefit from management accounts and tax planning too, but the right mix depends on individual circumstances.
Sales of spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods are business income, while the cost of frames, lenses and stock is normally a deductible business expense. How they are recorded affects your profit figures, stock valuation and VAT position, so clear product-level records are worth the effort.
VAT can apply in different ways. Professional optical services and supplies of goods such as spectacles and contact lenses may be treated differently, with some supplies exempt and others standard-rated. Whether you need to register, and how each supply is treated, depends on your turnover, the nature of the supply and your circumstances.
Yes. Changing accountants can usually be managed smoothly, and we can work with your existing records to make the transition straightforward. It helps to have your latest accounts, tax returns and bookkeeping information available so your position is clear from the outset.
Get in touch and tell us about your practice, your structure and the services you provide, including any optical goods you sell. We can then discuss which accounting and tax support suits your circumstances and how the process would work for you.
