Ophthalmic practices operates at the intersection of healthcare provision and high-street retail, creating a highly specific financial ecosystem. Managing dual revenue streams—balancing NHS General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) contract claims alongside retail sales of frames, lenses, and contact lenses—requires specialist accounting that goes far beyond standard compliance.
Our dedicated optical accounting team understands the operational realities faced by independent opticians, optometrists, dispensing opticians, and locum eye care professionals. Whether you are running an established high-street practice, acquiring a new optical franchise, or operating as a self-employed locum, we provide the technical structure needed to protect your profit margins and simplify your tax position.
We handle the complex mechanics of healthcare finance so you can focus on sight care. We guide optical practice owners through sector-specific accounting challenges—including navigating complex HMRC Apportionment Schemes and Partial Exemption rules for mixed VAT sales, optimizing capital allowances on expensive diagnostic equipment (OCT scanners, phoropters), and structuring locum contracts efficiently.
