Pick your trade
We work with limited companies across UK construction. Most turn over between £500,000 and £5 million. Each trade below has its own page setting out how CIS applies to that work and where the VAT position tends to catch people out.
If your trade is not listed, it does not mean we cannot help. Book a call and we will tell you either way.

Not sure where you sit?
Some work sits inside CIS, some sits outside it, and plenty of firms get it wrong for years without knowing. A short call sorts it out.
Areas we cover
We work across the whole of the UK. These are the areas closest to the office, where we do the most work and where you can come in if you would rather sit down with somebody.
Choosing an accountant
Four questions people ask us before they get in touch, answered honestly rather than as a sales pitch.
- What kind of accountant does a construction company need?
- Do I need a specialist, or will a normal accountant do?
- Specialist or general practice, compared
- How much does a construction accountant cost?
- When should a construction business change accountants?
Free markup and margin calculator
Add 20% to your costs and you keep 16.7%, not 20%. Our markup and margin calculator prices a construction job properly and shows what the gap is worth across a year of turnover.
Some businesses are defined less by their trade than by their shape. If you are paying a large number of subcontractors every month, start with accountants for contractors with a large subcontractor base.
