Virtual finance department for UK construction businesses
We act as your virtual finance department and CFO - handling everything from bookkeeping and tax to cash flow forecasting and strategic planning. Not just year-end accounts. Real partnership, all year round. Built for construction businesses doing £150k-£5M.
Built for construction
Most accountants don't understand your world. They don't get CIS deductions, reverse charge VAT, or why your cash is always tied up in retentions. They show up once a year, file your acounts, and leave.
Meanwhile, you're spending evenings in Xero trying to make sense of your numbers, wondering which services actually made you money, getting hit with surprise tax bills, and losing sleep over cash flow. You need more than an accountant - you need a finance partner who understands construction.
Three ways we support you
We don't just do your accounts. We act as your virtual finance department and CFO - handling compliance, strategy, and everything in between.
Virtual Finance
Department
We become your finance department - bookkeeping, CIS, VAT, payroll and compliance handled properly. You get clean records, real-time reporting, and your evenings back.
Virtual
CFO
CFO-level support without the full-time cost. We help you forecast cash flow, price jobs profitably, track project margins, and make confident decisions on hiring, equipment and growth.
Strategic Tax
Advisory
Ongoing, proactive tax planning for construction businesses. From corporation tax to director remuneration, we help you keep more of what you earn - and avoid nasty surprises.
Why choose us
Reduce overhead with outsourcing
Outsourcing your finance function removes the cost and hassle of hiring in-house. You get a full finance team for a predictable fee, without salaries, holidays, HR admin or downtime.
Get your evenings back
Instead of evenings lost to Xero, spreadsheets and chasing paperwork, you’ll have a finance team keeping everything under control while you concentrate on running and growing the business.
Keep more of what you earn
We help you operate the business tax-efficiently and make sure you claim everything you’re entitled to. The result: less unnecessary tax, more money left in the business and at home.
Know your numbers in real time
You’ll always know which jobs are profitable, what’s due in and out, and how much you can safely take from the company. Clear, regular reports in plain English – not just once-a-year accounts.
Built on reliable tech
