Optical Business Consulting
OptiCore brings first-hand optical ownership, accounting acumen, and operational mastery to help you launch, expand, and maximize your optical business — without the guesswork.
Who We Are
OptiCore was founded by a CPA with over 20 years in accounting and 15+ years of hands-on optical business ownership — someone who has actually signed leases, hired dispensers, managed inventory, and read the P&L at midnight.
Most consultants advise from the outside. We've been inside. That difference is everything when you're deciding whether to open a second location, negotiate a lease, or structure your first dispensary.
We serve the Greater Toronto Area and work with clients nationally, bringing Canadian market knowledge — Ontario regulations, OAO landscape, and GTA real estate realities — that US-based consultants simply can't offer.
CPA-level financial analysis of your business model, margins, and cash flow.
Advice grounded in real operational ownership — not textbook theory.
Deep knowledge of Ontario regulations, OHIP landscape, and GTA market dynamics.
Project management through every stage — from site selection to grand opening.
What We Do
From concept to keys in hand. We manage every critical decision — location analysis, lease negotiation, build-out oversight, vendor sourcing, staffing, and your 90-day launch plan.
Opening your second or third location is a different challenge than your first. We help you build systems, evaluate markets, and avoid the costly mistakes that derail growth.
Ready to add an optical dispensary to your practice? We handle the business case, vendor relationships, floor planning, and staff training so you can focus on your patients.
A deep-dive analysis of your practice's financial health — identifying margin leaks, overhead inefficiencies, and opportunities to increase take-home income.
Ongoing strategic support for practice owners who want a trusted advisor on-call — for monthly reviews, decision support, and long-term growth planning.
Purpose-built for optometry students and new graduates navigating the leap to practice ownership. Get a business mentor who has done it and can show you the real numbers.
The OptiCore Difference
We don't offer generic consulting packaged in optical language. We offer optical-specific guidance backed by real ownership experience.
Our principal has owned optical retail and optometry practices. Every recommendation comes from lived experience, not a playbook.
With a CPA foundation, we build financial models that are honest — not optimistic projections designed to sell you on a bad decision.
Ontario regulations, OHIP billing dynamics, GTA commercial real estate — we know the local landscape that US consultants can't navigate for you.
We structure engagements around outcomes. Whether project-based or ongoing advisory, you know exactly what you're getting and what success looks like.
We don't just advise and disappear. We roll up our sleeves and manage the process alongside you through every milestone.
We have purpose-built offerings for students and new ODs who need guidance but are watching their budget carefully.
Who We Serve
For the Visionary
You have the clinical skills and the drive. We bring the business framework, financial discipline, and operational playbook to get you open and profitable.
For the Established Owner
You've proven the model. Now it's time to scale it. We help you replicate what works, build systems that travel, and avoid the hidden costs of rapid expansion.
For the OD
You're leaving prescription revenue on the table every single day. We help you add an optical dispensary that complements your clinical brand and boosts your bottom line.
For the Student
The business of optometry isn't taught in school. We give students and new grads a realistic, number-backed view of what ownership actually looks like — before they sign anything.
For the Struggling Practice
Revenue looks fine but take-home is disappointing? We find the margin leaks and inefficiencies most practice owners don't even know to look for.
For the Long Term
A retainer relationship with a consultant who knows your business inside-out — available when key decisions need to be made with confidence.
