We help optical practice owners launch, grow, and sell their businesses.
The difference between a thriving practice and an expensive mistake is who you call first. Founder-led, combining hands-on optical ownership experience with CPA accounting expertise — for every stage of your optical business.
Expertise Coordinated Across
Led by someone who's done it, not just consulted on it.
OptiCore Consultants is founder-led by Nawaz Ahmed, a CPA with 20+ years of accounting experience and the owner-operator of multiple eyecare centres around the GTA. Every recommendation is grounded in decisions he's had to make himself running an optical practice.

Every service built to protect your investment and maximize your return.
New Practice Launch
We've opened practices ourselves. Site selection, lease terms, and vendor deals — built to perform from day one.
Details
Opening without expert guidance is one of the most expensive mistakes an owner can make. We manage site selection, business planning, lease negotiation, and build-out so your doors open on budget and ready to perform.
OD Dispensary Setup
Every day without a dispensary hands revenue to someone else. We design one that converts.
Details
Poor frame selection, weak vendor terms, and inefficient layouts turn a profitable revenue stream into a headache. We build dispensaries that maximize capture rate and elevate the patient experience.
Purchasing a Franchise
Franchise deals can be smart — or costly. We know which terms are negotiable and which are red flags.
Details
Territory rights, supply obligations, royalty structures, and projections all deserve scrutiny most buyers can't give them. We evaluate the opportunity with the same rigor we'd apply to our own money.
Multi-Location Expansion
What worked at location one rarely scales on its own. We build the systems that travel.
Details
Expanding is where many owners make their biggest financial mistakes. We assess readiness, identify the right market, and structure the finances so growth doesn't strain what you've already built.
Financial Performance Review
Revenue looks fine but take-home doesn't? The leak is almost always hiding in plain sight.
Details
Margin leaks, inflated overhead, and stale pricing quietly erode profitability. We don't just flag what's wrong — we hand you a prioritized roadmap to fix it.
Selling Your Practice
Buyers find every weakness. We prepare your practice to withstand scrutiny before they look.
Details
We clean up your books, optimize key metrics, and strengthen operations so your practice withstands scrutiny — and every improvement made today multiplies into a higher sale price.
