We help construction maximise cash flow and become much more tax efficient by implementing easy-to-follow tax planning measures.
Running a construction business is hard work. You’re on-site all day, managing projects, solving problems, and making sure the job gets done right. Then, when you should be relaxing or spending time with family and friends, you’re stuck at the computer, chasing invoices, sorting receipts, and stressing over cash flow. Sound familiar?

The construction industry works in a different way to standard business sectors and faces many different demands and challenges.
Construction companies are in a very dynamic business sector. The business environment changes fast. Business owners need to be able to navigate ever-changing UK government tax laws such as Making Tax Digital while still adhering to Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) guidelines.
The recent Covid pandemic and economic downturn have had a dramatic effect on the sector. Companies must adapt quickly, optimise cash flow, stay compliant with regulations and be in control of tax planning. We can help you change direction quickly if required. However, that can only be done successfully if business owners are completely up to date with their business financials. We can make sure that you are.
See exactly where your money is going and when payments are due.
Track overdue invoices and chase payments effortlessly.
Avoid supplier account issues and keep projects running smoothly.
Free yourself from admin and focus on what really matters.
Many construction companies, especially the smaller ones, balancing the work and the business financials extremely demanding and may struggle to cope or are unable to maximise the potential of their business.
We find that many companies suddenly find themselves losing control with business owners forced into making rash, potentially damaging decisions through a lack of organisation and up-to-date information.
With many smaller construction companies, the business owner is often a tradesperson themselves. They often started their careers as joiners, electricians, plumbers or general builders. Their core skills are in getting the project delivered, not in working with finance.
Many successful builders we work with faced these exact challenges before partnering with us.
Receipts would often get lost. Invoices were sent out late and were often paid late. Cash flow often became a real problem. Bills went unpaid until the last minute. Issues with sub-contractors became serious.
They would avoid contact with their accountant as they know their financials are in a mess and they did;nt have time to deal with it. They’d get into a cycle where they would almost fear their accountants. They’re far too busy fighting fires to deal with an accountant asking for financial information.
We work with a lot of building companies and our staff have in the past run building companies themselves. We can show you easy ways to automate your business financials. Our innovative software allows business owners to easily deal with invoicing, chasing payments, easily automating bookkeeping tasks and so much more.
