Is your builder accounting costing you money?
Answer five quick questions and find out exactly what needs sorting in your accounts.
What I handle on your behalf
From CIS filings to year-end accounts, I cover the full accounting picture for builders working as sole traders, limited companies or subcontractors.
CIS Bookkeeping and Returns
I keep your CIS records straight, verify your subcontractors correctly and make sure deductions are handled so HMRC has no reason to come knocking. Whether you are a contractor deducting from subbies or a subcontractor reclaiming tax, I deal with it. You should not have to think about this every month.
Construction Industry SchemeVAT Returns for Builders
VAT in construction has its own rules around the domestic reverse charge, materials versus labour and cash flow timing. I prepare and submit your VAT returns under Making Tax Digital, flag anything that could catch you out and make sure you are reclaiming everything you are entitled to. All submissions are filed on time, every time.
MTD compliantAccounts and Tax Returns for Building Businesses
Whether you are a sole trader filing a self assessment or a limited company needing full statutory accounts and corporation tax, I prepare and file everything personally. I also look at your numbers actively throughout the year so there are no tax surprises in January or April. You always know what is coming before it arrives.
Sole trader and limited companyWhy clients come back every year
Builders stay because the numbers finally make sense and there is always someone at the end of the phone who knows their file.
I know how construction money actually moves
Retention payments, staged valuations, materials bought upfront before invoices land, subcontractors on different CIS rates. These are normal parts of a builder’s year and I account for all of them without needing them explained to me. You should not have to teach your accountant how your industry works.
Fixed fees with no year-end shock
You know what you are paying before I start. There are no hidden extras for a quick call, a VAT question or a payroll query mid-month. Everything is agreed upfront and stays that way. Builders already deal with enough cost surprises on site.
Direct access to the person doing your accounts
When you ring or message, you reach me. Not a receptionist, not a junior who will pass it on, not someone who has to pull up your file and call you back in three days. I handle everything personally for every client I take on and that does not change as time goes on.
How it works
Getting started takes one conversation and I handle the rest from there.
Book a free call
We talk through your current setup, what you are doing now and what is not working. No obligation, no sales pitch. I just need to understand your situation before I can tell you what would help.
Agree a fixed monthly fee
I send a clear proposal covering exactly what I will handle for you. The fee is fixed, the scope is clear and there are no add-on charges for questions or short calls during the year. You know what you are paying from day one.
Get your accounts properly set up
I migrate your records onto cloud accounting software that works for a builder. QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Xero or Sage depending on what suits you. I do the setup and show you what you need to do month to month, which is usually not very much.
Ongoing support through the year
I handle your filings, monitor your tax position and answer questions as they come up. You are not waiting for year-end to find out what you owe. I keep you informed throughout so nothing catches you off guard.
