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 relevant. Because they work with optical businesses, they understand income from professional services alongside sales of spectacles, contact lenses and other optical goods.
Support is available for independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, self-employed optical professionals, practice owners, partnerships and limited companies. Requirements vary considerably, since a locum optometrist and a practice employing several staff have very different accounting, reporting and payroll needs.
Yes. Self-employed optometrists, locum opticians and dispensing opticians often need help with record keeping, expenses and Self Assessment, including the timing of payments on account. Where income comes from several practices or a mix of sessions, clear records help ensure everything is reported accurately.
It depends on the practice. Many need bookkeeping, annual accounts, payroll for staff and support with Corporation Tax or partnership returns. Practices selling spectacles, contact lenses and other goods may also need stock records and VAT guidance, since different supplies can be treated differently.
Yes. Bookkeeping can be kept up to date through the year, separating professional fees from retail sales of optical goods, which makes Self Assessment or company reporting far more straightforward at deadline time. What is required depends on your structure and how you earn your income.
Stock such as frames, lenses and contact lenses should be recorded consistently so year-end figures reflect what is actually held. Business expenses, including equipment, professional fees and premises costs, need supporting records. The correct treatment depends on the nature of the expense and your individual circumstances.
VAT can apply to optical businesses, but the treatment is not uniform. Professional optical services and goods such as spectacles and contact lenses may be treated differently, and registration depends on turnover and the nature of the supplies. It is worth reviewing your position with an adviser.
Yes, changing accountants is usually straightforward. We can review your current position, confirm what information is needed and coordinate the handover with your existing adviser so that deadlines are not missed. Timing and requirements depend on your business.
