Running a building business keeps you busy. On any given day you might be pricing jobs, chasing subbies, or ordering materials. Keeping on top of the finances can feel overwhelming.

We support contractors across the construction industry, including roofers, electricians, plumbers, joiners, groundworkers, bricklayers, scaffolding contractors, and more.

Standard accounting packages aren't built for the building trade. Working with accountants who know construction makes a real difference. You spend less time stressed about paperwork and more time getting the work done.

We Understand The Building Trade

construction-workers-reviewing-blueprints-on-site

We know what building companies deal with every day. We know how quickly things change on site and how unpredictable the money can be.

You won't need to explain how your business works. We already know. The things that actually worry builders:

Am I doing this right?

Am I going to get a fine?

Am I paying too much tax?

Will HMRC cause me problems?

We make sure you can stop worrying about all of them. 

Here's what we understand about your trade:

Cash Flow:

Cash Flow:

You buy materials upfront. Clients pay in stages. That gap can cause real problems, we help you manage it.

Retention:

Retention:

Main contractors hold money back until a job is complete. We keep track of it so it doesn't get forgotten.

HMRC:

HMRC:

We know exactly what they expect from building businesses. We make sure you're always doing things right.

CIS Made Simple

Stay compliant. Reduce admin. Avoid surprises. 

We Take Care Of Your Receipts, Expenses And Bookkeeping

Most builders don't call it bookkeeping. They call it receipts, invoices, fuel bills, and a pile of paperwork in the van.

Whatever you call it, keeping track of your expenses matters. If you don't, you'll pay more tax than you need to. And if HMRC ever comes knocking, you'll want your records in order.

We handle the day-to-day record keeping for you. Every allowable expense gets recorded properly. Every invoice, receipt and payroll entry goes against the right job.

That means less paperwork for you and more confidence that you're claiming everything you're entitled to.

VAT And Making Tax Digital

Taxes in construction have gotten more complicated in recent years. The domestic reverse charge changed how VAT works on contractor invoices. Get it wrong and it hits your cash flow and causes problems with HMRC.

We make sure your business handles it correctly. We manage your VAT returns, apply the right rules, and submit everything digitally and on time.

See Your Numbers Any Time

Waiting until the end of the year to find out if you have made a profit is not enough. By that point, opportunities to improve cash flow, reduce tax, or make better business decisions may already have passed.

We set you up with simple cloud accounting software so you can check in whenever you need to. You will be able to see:

Money coming in and going out in real time

Invoices that need chasing

How much profit you are actually making on active jobs

That means you can price new work more accurately and spot a cash flow issue before it becomes a serious problem.

Having up-to-date figures also helps you answer one of the biggest questions many business owners face: whether it makes sense to remain a sole trader or go limited. When you can clearly see your profit levels and overall financial position, it becomes much easier to understand the difference between the two structures and weigh up the benefits of each.

In some cases, staying as a sole trader may be the simpler and more tax-efficient option. In others, operating through a limited company could reduce your tax bill, offer greater flexibility in how you take income, and better support your long-term plans. With accurate numbers available throughout the year, you are in a much stronger position to make the right decision at the right time.

Fixed Monthly Pricing, No Surprises

Professional accounting support should be straightforward. No surprise bills. No charge every time you pick up the phone with a quick question.

We offer clear, fixed monthly pricing with separate packages for contractors, subcontractors, or both. Whether you're a sole trader, a specialist subcontractor, or a limited company, we'll match the right level of support to your setup.

One predictable monthly fee. Real people who know your business. No nonsense.
