Is your CIS bookkeeping up to date?
Answer five quick questions and get a clear picture of where your records stand right now.
What I handle on your behalf
From verifying subcontractors with HMRC to filing your monthly returns, I take the CIS admin off your plate entirely.
CIS Record Keeping and Deduction Tracking
I maintain accurate records of the gross amount invoiced by each subcontractor, the correct CIS deduction applied, and the labour and materials split. HMRC requires these records to be kept for at least three years, and I make sure yours are always accessible and audit-ready. Getting the labour versus materials split wrong is one of the most common CIS errors, and one I watch closely for every payment.
Core CIS complianceMonthly CIS Returns
CIS returns are due every month, even if you made no payments to subcontractors that month. I submit these on time, every time, including nil returns where required. Missing a monthly return can trigger HMRC penalties, so I keep this running in the background without you needing to think about it.
Filed on time, every monthCloud Accounting Setup for CIS
I set up and manage your cloud accounting software, whether that is QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Xero or Sage, to handle CIS correctly from day one. That means deductions are calculated automatically, invoices are categorised properly, and your records are always current. You get a clear view of your finances without having to learn the software yourself.

CIS bookkeeping has specific rules that catch a lot of trades businesses out, and working with someone who knows those rules personally makes a real difference.
You deal with me personally, every time
There are no junior staff here and no handoffs to someone who does not know your account. When you message me with a question about a subcontractor deduction or a new HMRC letter, I answer it myself, usually the same day. That consistency matters when CIS questions come up at short notice, like when you need to verify a new subbie on a Monday morning.
Fixed fees, no surprises
You know what you are paying before we start. There are no hourly rates, no invoices for quick questions, and no end-of-year bill you were not expecting. CIS bookkeeping has a predictable workload, so a fixed monthly fee makes sense for both sides.
Plain English, no jargon
CIS has its own terminology and it can feel opaque if nobody explains it clearly. I tell you exactly what each deduction means, why a rate has changed, or what a compliance letter is actually asking, in plain language. You should understand your own finances, and I make sure you do.
How it works
Getting your CIS bookkeeping sorted is a straightforward process, and I walk you through every step.
Book a free call
We have a short call where I ask about your current setup, how many subcontractors you are paying, and what records you have so far. No preparation needed on your part. I just need to understand where you are starting from.
I review what you have
If you have existing records, I look through them and flag anything that needs correcting. If you are starting from scratch, I tell you exactly what we need to put in place. Either way, you get a clear picture of your CIS position before we go any further.
I set up your bookkeeping
I configure your cloud accounting software to handle CIS correctly, set up the right deduction rates, and make sure the labour and materials split is being recorded properly. From this point, your monthly records run cleanly and consistently.
Ongoing monthly support
I handle your monthly CIS returns, keep your records up to date, and answer any questions that come up along the way. You have direct access to me, and I respond the same day. No waiting, no chasing, no being passed around.
