Construction bookkeeping for commercial subcontractors
Qualified bookkeepers using a system and process built for subcontracting. Live project financials. Accounts on time. No surprises.
Commercial subcontractor specialist bookkeepers
Retention, applications and variations understood
Our own subcontractor app included, so you can see every project yourself
It shouldn't be this hard to get a set of accounts you can rely on every month
You never trust the numbers, leaving you to do the detective work.
Costs sit hidden, and surprise invoices turn up from six weeks ago.
Retention left uninvoiced longer than it should be.
The commercial reporting gets dropped when the main contractor piles on the pressure.
Our bookkeepers only work for commercial subcontractors
Your books done by qualified bookkeepers, working to a process built over eight years of commercial subcontracting, across hundreds of projects and every main contractor's payment process. Not a general bookkeeper learning construction accounting on your time.
That process came first. What gets checked, what happens to invoices in query, how retention is tracked. Then the app was built around it. It exists because a bookkeeper who did the books properly still couldn't tell us which project was making money. Accounts that were right at year end and no use to anyone in the months between. You keep your accountant; they still do your year end and your statutory filing. We keep the numbers accurate day to day.

Four steps to accurate books with no surprises.
-
1. A 15-minute discovery call
We ask how the books are being done now, where the reporting falls short, and what's sitting unresolved. Then we show you the app.
-
2. You choose what we take on
All of it, or the parts that aren't working. Reconciliation, project cost allocation, invoices in query, retention, monthly accounts, payroll and returns.
-
3. A proposal and a plan
What we'd take on, what it costs, and how we'd start. We suggest a plan, and you tweak it to suit.
-
4. We get your reporting live and you paid faster.
Accounting software connected, your projects loaded, and our bookkeeper picks up from an agreed month. Nothing stops while we take over.
