The Construction Bookkeeping Challenge


Running a construction business comes with unique financial complexities that generic bookkeepers may not understand. You’re dealing with project-based accounting, retentions, stage payments, subcontractor management and CIS deductions that make your books far more intricate than a typical business.

Add to that the challenges of tracking materials across multiple sites, managing cash flow between jobs, dealing with variations and ensuring compliance with construction specific regulations. One mistake in your bookkeeping can cost you thousands in tax. You need someone who speaks your language and understands the construction industry inside out.

Complex job costing

Tracking costs across multiple projects can quickly become a mess. When costs aren’t allocated clearly, it’s hard to know which jobs are profitable and which are loss making.

Tax surprises at year end

For many contractors, their tax bill only becomes clear after the year end deadline has passed. Without management accounts throughout the year, it’s tough to plan for the future.

Cash flow issues

Construction payment cycles are unpredictable. You often pay out before getting paid. Without accurate bookkeeping and forecasting, your cash position can spiral fast.
