See20/20 have formed a strategic partnership with Emmerson Accountancy whom offer specialist advice to optometrists, ophthalmologists, dispensing opticians and practice owners along with any brave souls aspiring to acquire their first business.

Paul Houston, See20/20 Director states “This new partnership will benefit all See20/20 clients as we can now offer expert advice on all aspects of accounting and specifically VAT issues, in addition to the wide range of services already supplied such as marketing, new business generation tools and all aspects of practice related IT issues.

Our clients are not always performing proper and accurate accounting procedures or appropriate VAT apportionment and this is affecting the bottom-line profits! In todays marketplace every penny counts and the savings made by See20/20 clients so far, have not only covered the costs of the accountant’s services but the monthly subscription fee for See20/20 as well!”

The added benefit of See20/20 over other available PMS Systems is that with the permission of the See20/20 client, Emmerson Accounting can simply and easily access the practice management system from their own offices and in real-time perform pro-active accounting on all areas of the business by data-mining all layers of sales, purchases and key performance indicators in an instant.

Paul Emmerson, Managing Director of Emmerson Accountancy states “This partnership makes perfect sense for all involved, optics is a unique field with unique challenges and the services offered are tailored to work with the optician and where necessary to guide them through the increasingly competitive environment. We have over 50 years experience and a large and growing number of clients in the optical sector, which in the main have been acquired by existing customer referrals”.

Emmerson Accountancy offers the following services:-

1. Specialist VAT advice regarding exemptions. This is vital within the optical industry. Emmerson Accountancy has a wealth of experience in understanding the mechanisms of this process and of dealing with the Customs and Revenue. A comprehensive VAT health check by Emmerson will cost £325 and will involve discussions on how best to move forward and what actions must be taken. In most cases this may result in a reduction in VAT payable and the possibility of a claim retrospectively.

2. Emmerson can also provide a comprehensive range of services which can assist you in the day to day running of your business. This includes providing management accounts, the production of business plans, budgets and cash flow forecasts, financial health checks and general business consultancy.

3. In addition to these services Emmerson also provide the normal accountancy services of year-end accounts, payroll services, tax computations and general tax advice.
