Our Construction Accounting Services
As experienced construction accountants, we help contractors, developers, and subcontractors manage their finances with clarity and control.
Accounts Preparation and Year-End Compliance
Many construction businesses struggle at year-end due to inconsistent records or missing documents. We prepare clean, construction-specific accounts that reflect your project cycles and payment terms. Whether you’re a limited company, sole trader, or partnership, our property accountants in London help you meet filing deadlines and stay audit-ready all year round.
Construction Bookkeeping
Good financial decisions start with good records. Our construction bookkeeping service ensures every cost, whether for materials, labour, machinery hire, or overhead—is accurately tracked and categorised. We organise your books on a per-project basis, giving you a clear breakdown of profitability across each job site. You’ll finally have financial clarity without spending hours chasing receipts or untangling spreadsheets.
Payroll Services for Site Workers
Paying your team correctly and on time is critical, especially when you’re managing both PAYE staff and subcontractors. Our accountants for construction run weekly or monthly payrolls, submit RTI reports, manage pension contributions, and keep your payroll fully HMRC-compliant. We also provide detailed job costing reports so you can understand how labour expenses are affecting your margins.
Tax Strategy and Capital Allowance
Whether you’re building from the ground up or renovating, smart tax planning can significantly improve your bottom line. As a property accountant specialist, we advise on allowable expenses, capital allowance claims, and the most tax-efficient structure for your business, helping you maximise return on every project and avoid overpaying HMRC.
VAT Returns and CIS Support
We understand how confusing construction VAT rules can be, especially with the Domestic Reverse Charge and different schemes in play. Our experienced construction accountants prepare and submit accurate VAT returns on your behalf and help you avoid costly penalties. We also handle the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)—registering you, verifying subcontractors, calculating deductions, and filing CIS returns, so payments stay on track.
Project-Based Forecasting
In construction, timing is everything, especially when it comes to cash flow. As accounting for builders & developers, we help you forecast income and expenses based on project timelines, supplier terms, and seasonal trends. Our tailored budgeting tools let you plan for downtime, late payments, and big-ticket purchases, so you can make confident, proactive decisions, not reactive ones.
