Accountants for construction companies
We understand the pressure you’re under as a construction business owner. Your time is spent overseeing large projects, finding skilled workers in the trades, managing rising costs of materials, and juggling business finances. Tax and accounting are probably the least of your worries. They are, however, vital to the success of your construction firm.
Our construction accountants help you overcome the challenges of running a construction business. We support you with a range of accounting needs, including financial reporting, budgeting, tax compliance, and business advisory.
Accountants for trade companies
As a limited company trader, your business is in charge of overseeing specific projects, such as brickwork, plumbing, painting, or electrical work. Each area of the trade industry has its own unique challenges but often faces the same financial pressures. These include managing subcontractor payments, purchasing materials, handling project-based cash flow fluctuations, and complying with tax regulations.
We know that managing all of the financial tasks alongside running your company isn’t easy. Our trade business accountants give you back more of your valuable time by taking the accounting responsibility off your hands.
How we’ll handle your trade business accounting
Melanie Curtis Accountants offers clear, no-fuss accounting services for trade and construction businesses. Our team handles it all, from day-to-day financial tracking to preparing annual accounts, so you can focus on what matters most—growing your trade business.
Tax returns
Whether you operate as a limited company or partnership, keeping on top of your taxes isn’t always straightforward. We make managing your tax returns a little bit easier so you can focus on your trade. We’ll handle the ins and outs of Corporation Tax, keeping everything accurate and on time.
Are you VAT-registered? If you’re already registered or heading in that direction, we handle various aspects of VAT, from registration to submitting VAT returns.
Bookkeeping for construction companies
Bookkeeping is the backbone of all businesses, including those in the construction sector. We offer bookkeeping for construction and trade companies to keep your finances organised so you don’t have to worry about missed deadlines and tax issues catching you up.
We use the very best accounting software to keep processes quick and, where possible, automated, so your finances are always organised and ready when you need them.
Cash flow management
Managing projects with varying start and end dates can make it challenging to predict when cash is coming in and out of your business. Then there’s the problem of chasing invoices and forking out for unexpected costs like equipment repairs and hiring contractors.
We’ll help you get back on track with your cash flow by analysing your income and expenses to create accurate cash flow forecasts. We’ll also implement an invoicing system that works for you, so you don’t have to stress about chasing payments.
Construction Industry Scheme advice
If you work with contractors, it’s essential you know how to pay them correctly. We’re well-versed in Construction Industry Scheme accounting and provide support in all areas, from registration and compliance to managing monthly CIS deductions and filing returns.
Payroll
Managing payroll, holiday pay, and pensions for a growing team can be time-consuming. We’ll make sure your team is paid correctly and on time, keeping your employees happy and your business compliant.
Tax planning
Our tax planning services support your goals, whether you want to grow your trade business or take on larger projects. We plan ahead and develop carefully tailored tax strategies to keep your business moving in the right direction. This means maximising tax deductions specific to the construction industry, such as equipment, building materials, travel expenses, office expenses, marketing costs, and professional fees. It also means putting a plan in place to keep you on top of tax deadlines and financially prepared for future tax liabilities.
Thinking about business expansion? If you’re a sole trader ready to make the next move, we make sure you do it right. We’ll advise you on the most suitable business structure for your particular trade and help you set up your business in the most tax-efficient way.
