GOS income reconciliation, VAT apportionment between exempt sight tests and taxable dispensing, stock control and owner profit extraction.
Self-assessment, IR35 status on agency work, GOC and professional fees, mileage between practices and equipment claims.
Management accounts per branch, partial exemption calculations, payroll for optical assistants and funding for new sites.
Ophthalmology and refractive surgery providers: company accounts, VAT on cosmetic versus medical treatment and capital allowances on equipment.
Incorporation reviews, capital allowances on OCT scanners and consulting room fit-out, and profit extraction planning for practice owners.

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 mix clinical work with retail, which can make the numbers harder to follow. Professional fees, spectacle and contact lens sales, stock, equipment and practice overheads all behave differently, and the right accounting approach depends on how you are structured.
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 behind an optical business or professional career. That can include bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where applicable, with records structured around professional income, optical goods and practice costs.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed locums, practice owners and other optical businesses. Sole traders, partnerships and limited companies can all be helped, although the work involved differs depending on how you are structured and how you earn income.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locums and dispensing opticians often need Self Assessment, tidy expense records and clarity on what can be claimed. Because the rules depend on individual circumstances, the treatment of your income and costs is always considered case by case.
Yes. Bookkeeping can be kept in order through the year rather than left to a last-minute rush, covering professional fees, spectacle and contact lens sales, stock and practice costs. Self Assessment can then be prepared from accurate records, with tax calculated according to your circumstances.
Yes. Limited companies, including incorporated optical practices, need annual accounts and a Corporation Tax return. These can be prepared from your records, and where relevant we can look at areas such as director remuneration, equipment costs and how different income streams are reported.
Frames, lenses, contact lenses and other stock should be recorded accurately, with purchases, valuations and supplier invoices kept together. Expenses such as equipment, premises costs and staff wages need supporting records too, since what counts as allowable business expenditure depends on individual circumstances.
It depends on turnover and the nature of your supplies. Optical businesses may provide professional services and also sell optical goods, and these supplies can be treated differently for VAT. Registration and treatment depend on the business's circumstances, so advice should be tailored rather than assumed.
Yes. Changing accountants is usually straightforward. Existing records can be reviewed, the information needed can be confirmed and the relevant filing responsibilities taken over. If you are unsure what is outstanding, that can be looked at as part of the initial conversation.
