Bookkeeping and finance for builders and civil contractors
Most builders don't go broke on bad work. They go broke on a job that looked fine until the last progress claim, a retention that never came back, or a BAS bill nobody saw coming.
We keep your books the way a construction business actually runs: job by job.
What we look after
Job costing that's current. Every cost lands on the right job, so you can see margin while the job is still running, not three months after handover.
Retentions. What you're holding, what's held from you, and when it's due back. If your state has retention trust rules, we keep the records they need.
Payroll and super. Since 1 July 2026, super has to reach your employees' funds within 7 business days of payday. We run payroll so super goes out with it.
Progress claims and variations. Claims raised on time, variations tracked, and what's been certified matched to what's been paid.
Subcontractors and TPAR. If your business pays contractors for building and construction work, you lodge a Taxable payments annual report by 28 August each year. We keep contractor details and payments clean all year so it isn't a scramble in August.
Cash flow. A rolling cash forecast that shows the week a big supplier bill and a slow paying head contractor will collide.
Who it's for
Residential and commercial builders
Civil, earthworks and concrete contractors
Specialist trades running their own jobs: electrical, plumbing, mechanical, fit out
We use Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks, whichever you're already on.
