They handle the day-to-day accounting and tax work that optical professionals and practices need, including bookkeeping, annual accounts, Self Assessment, Corporation Tax, payroll and VAT support where relevant. Just as importantly, they understand how optical income works, from professional fees to sales of spectacles and contact lenses.
Support can cover self-employed opticians and optometrists, dispensing opticians, locums, practice owners, partnerships and limited company practices. The accounting requirements differ depending on how you earn income and how the business is structured, so the approach is usually tailored rather than fixed.
Yes. Bookkeeping can be kept up to date across professional fees, product sales and practice expenses, and Self Assessment returns can be prepared from those records. What is included depends on your circumstances, including whether you also have income from employment, locum work or a separate business.
Yes, for practices trading through a limited company, annual accounts and Corporation Tax returns are a core part of the work. Allowable expenses, director pay, equipment and stock all affect the figures, so keeping records accurate throughout the year makes the year-end process far smoother.
It depends on turnover and the nature of your supplies. Professional optical services and the sale of optical goods such as spectacles and contact lenses can be treated differently for VAT, so the position should be reviewed rather than assumed. Registration thresholds and individual circumstances both play a part.
Frames, lenses and contact lens supplies should be tracked as stock where they are held for resale, with purchases and sales recorded consistently. Equipment, testing room costs, professional indemnity cover and practice running expenses should be recorded separately so their treatment can be reviewed correctly.
Yes. Switching usually involves letting your existing accountant know and arranging for records and information to be passed across. Once everything is in place, the focus moves to keeping your accounting and tax affairs on track going forward, with clear fees and no hidden extras.
Get in touch with a brief outline of your practice, how it is structured and what you need help with. From there, the relevant accounting and tax requirements can be identified and next steps agreed, so you know exactly what is involved before any work begins.
