Strategic Business Advice for Growth
From pricing your jobs correctly to planning for VAT and Corporation Tax, we provide actionable advice to help your construction business thrive.
Our Specialist CIS Accounting Services
Comprehensive financial support tailored specifically for the construction industry.
CIS Registration & Verification
Get started on the right foot. We’ll handle your initial registration with HMRC as a contractor or subcontractor and manage the vital step of verifying every subcontractor before their first payment, ensuring you avoid automatic 30% deductions.
CIS Gross Status Applications
Improve your cash flow dramatically. We manage the entire complex application process for Gross Payment Status, from assessing your business history to preparing the necessary evidence and liaising with HMRC to give you the best chance of approval.
Monthly CIS Returns & Deductions
Full, end-to-end management of your monthly CIS obligations. We calculate the correct deductions (20%, 30%, or 0%), prepare and file the digital return with HMRC by the deadline, and ensure you make the correct payment, eliminating the risk of penalties.
CIS Subcontractor Tax Returns
Ensure you get credit for every pound deducted. We meticulously reconcile all your CIS deductions across the tax year and complete your Self-Assessment tax return, ensuring these deductions are offset against your final tax and National Insurance bill, often resulting in a substantial refund.
CIS Contractor Accounting & Payroll
A complete financial solution for contractors. We seamlessly manage both your standard payroll for employees and the more complex CIS payroll for your subcontractors, all from one integrated system, saving you time and administrative headaches.
Cloud Accounting Setup & Training
Embrace modern, efficient accounting. We will migrate your business to a leading platform like Xero or FreeAgent, tailor it for the construction industry, and provide you with hands-on training to confidently manage your day-to-day bookkeeping and track your financial performance.
