CIS & Construction Accounting - Done Right, Every Month

Yes - and it's one of our core specialisms. Construction and CIS accounting makes up a significant part of what we do. We work with UK accountancy practices that have anywhere from a handful of construction clients to entire portfolios built around contractors and subcontractors. Whether your clients are sole trader subcontractors, limited company contractors, or multi-site developers, we know the work and we're set up to handle it.

Absolutely. We don't just handle CIS returns in isolation - we support the full recurring workflow. That means monthly CIS300 filings, subcontractor verifications, bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, VAT returns (including Domestic Reverse Charge), management accounts, and year-end preparation. You can bring us in for one part or hand over the whole lot - it's entirely up to you and what your practice needs.

Every CIS300 is filed by the 19th of the month - no exceptions. Once we receive the relevant source data from you, we verify subcontractors through HMRC, calculate deductions, prepare the return, and submit it with time to spare. We don't wait until the last minute, and we don't chase you the night before. In twelve years of doing this, we haven't missed a single filing deadline.

Yes.” As part of our CIS service, we process gross payment status applications. We review the eligibility, prepare the application and liaise with HMRC on the client’s behalf. We also take care of reviews and renewals so your clients don’t lose their status because of a missed deadline or incomplete paperwork.

Yes - DRC VAT is something we deal with regularly. We understand which supplies fall within the reverse charge rules, how to apply them correctly on invoices and returns, and how to handle mixed supplies where some elements are standard-rated and others are not. If your construction clients have been getting this wrong, we can help clean it up and make sure it's right going forward.

It's straightforward and designed not to disrupt your practice. We start with a short call to understand your client portfolio and how you currently work. From there, we agree on workflows, access, and turnaround expectations - usually within a week. Most practices are fully up and running with us within two weeks of that first conversation. We work around your systems, not the other way around.
