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 rarely fit a single mould. Professional fees, retail sales of spectacles and contact lenses, stock, equipment and staffing can all sit under one roof, which makes accurate record keeping and tax planning more involved than many standard business models.
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 accounting and tax work that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable. The exact mix depends on whether you work as a sole trader, in a partnership or through a limited company.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed and locum professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. Because each operates differently and earns income in different ways, the accounting approach is tailored rather than applied as a single template.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locum opticians and dispensing opticians often need help with record keeping, allowable expenses, Self Assessment and payments on account. Many work across more than one practice, which means income and expenses need tracking carefully so the tax return reflects what was genuinely earned.
Yes. Bookkeeping can cover professional fees, spectacle and contact lens sales, stock purchases, equipment, premises costs and staff wages. Self Assessment then brings that information together for sole traders, partners and directors who file personal returns, with deadlines and payments planned in advance where possible.
For practices trading through a limited company, annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns are usually required. Support can include preparing statutory accounts, calculating taxable profit after allowable deductions, and reviewing director remuneration and dividend decisions, taking individual circumstances and current rules into account.
Possibly. VAT depends on the nature of each supply and your turnover. Professional optical services, spectacles, contact lenses and other goods can be treated differently, so it is worth reviewing registration and how sales are recorded rather than assuming one rule applies across the whole practice.
Yes, in most cases. Switching usually involves sharing details of your existing records and letting your current accountant know. Any handover should be planned around your accounting period and filing deadlines so nothing is missed, and the transition can be managed at a sensible point in the year.
Get in touch and tell us how you work, how your practice is structured and what you need help with. From there the relevant accounting and tax requirements can be identified, and support can be arranged around your circumstances in Snodland or wherever you practise.
