What we do
Services for the trade
CIS, tax returns, company accounts, VAT, payroll, bookkeeping and advice. Everything a builder, subcontractor or construction firm needs, on one fixed monthly fee.
Seven things, done properly
Pick what you need. Leave the rest to us.
No two clients need the same thing, so there are no packages here. Have a look at what each service covers, then tell us what you do and we'll quote around it.
Subcontractors and contractors
CIS Returns and Refunds
The Construction Industry Scheme is how HMRC collects tax in construction. If you're a subcontractor, tax is taken off your pay before you see it. If you're a contractor, you have to take it off and send it in. We handle both sides, every month.
- CIS registration
- Monthly returns
- Subcontractor verification
- Refund checks
Sole traders, subcontractors and directors
Self Assessment Tax Returns
If you're a sole trader, a CIS subcontractor or a company director, you need to file a Self Assessment return every year. We prepare it, check every cost you're allowed to claim, and file it well before the deadline so you know what you owe in good time.
- Early filing
- Every cost claimed
- CIS refunds
- Payments on account
Limited companies and contractors
Limited Company Accounts and Corporation Tax
Running a limited company means statutory accounts for Companies House, a corporation tax return for HMRC, a confirmation statement and a director's Self Assessment. We take all of it off your desk and keep you on the right side of every deadline.
- Statutory accounts
- Corporation tax
- Confirmation statement
- Director's return
Anyone over the threshold, or near it
VAT and the Reverse Charge
VAT in construction has its own rules. The domestic reverse charge means many invoices between contractors and subcontractors carry no VAT at all, and getting it wrong costs money. We register you when you need to be, do the returns and make sure your invoices say the right thing.
- Registration
- Quarterly returns
- Reverse charge
- Scheme advice
Firms with employees or directors on the books
Payroll
Once you take someone on, you're running a payroll: tax, National Insurance, pensions and a submission to HMRC every time you pay. We run it for you so your lads and lasses get the right money on the right day.
- Payslips
- RTI filings
- Pensions
- Starters and leavers
Everyone who'd rather be on site than on a spreadsheet
Bookkeeping
Good bookkeeping is the difference between knowing your numbers and guessing them. We keep your records straight as you go, so year end is quick and you can see how each job is really doing.
- Receipt capture
- Bank reconciliation
- Software setup
- Invoice chasing
New trades and growing firms
