Bookkeeping beyond the building site

Your working day is busy enough.

Materials, tools, fuel, supplier bills and customer invoices can soon add up. Add subcontractor payments and CIS records to the mix, and there’s plenty to keep track of.

We help builders, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, decorators, carpenters and other contractors bring those records together in a practical way.

Support around the way you work

From your first invoice to your latest job.

Builders & construction businesses

Keep supplier invoices, materials purchases and customer payments organised across your jobs. We can help establish a routine that fits around site work and changing workloads.

Self-employed tradespeople

Bookkeeping for sole traders who want clear records without losing their evenings to paperwork. From a few invoices to a busy diary of jobs, we’ll discuss the support you need.

CIS record keeping

The Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) adds records to keep alongside your everyday bookkeeping. We can help organise payment and deduction statements and the information needed for your agreed CIS administration.

We’ll confirm the scope and who is responsible for any submissions before work starts.

Contractors & subcontractors

Whether you pay subcontractors or work as one, keep invoices, payments and relevant CIS documents together. The records you need will depend on how your business operates.

Business expenses, invoices & receipts

Record materials, tools, fuel and other business costs clearly, with the supporting documents close to hand. We can help you make a habit of capturing receipts before they disappear into the van.

Xero for tradespeople

Keep bookkeeping information accessible while you’re out working. We can help with an everyday Xero routine, from recording invoices and receipts to keeping bank transactions matched.

A fresh start with the paperwork

Behind on the books? Let’s work through it.

Busy periods happen. If your records have fallen behind, get in touch with whatever you have — paper receipts, spreadsheets, statements or an existing software account.

We’ll discuss what needs bringing up to date and agree a manageable approach. You don’t have to tidy everything up before asking for help.

Talk about catch-up support

A couple of common questions

Clear answers.
No extra jargon.

Can you help if I’m a CIS subcontractor?

Yes. We can discuss your bookkeeping and help organise the payment and deduction records relevant to your work. The exact support is agreed around your business.

Do I need to use Xero already?

No. We also support Sage and QuickBooks, and can discuss a practical starting point if you use spreadsheets or paper records.

Will you take over all of my CIS responsibilities?

We’ll agree the bookkeeping and administration work we can undertake before starting. Any filing, advice or other responsibilities will be made clear, including work handled by your accountant or another adviser.
