Keep more of every job's profit.

If you want to keep more profit, yes. Builders deal with progress payments, retentions, subcontractors, TPAR, GST timing on long jobs, and high site risk — none of which a generalist sees every day. A specialist saves you tax and saves you hassle.

The Taxable Payments Annual Report is mandatory for businesses in the building and construction industry that pay contractors. It's due 28 August each year and reports every dollar paid to subbies. We handle it for you as part of our standard service.

Yes — this is one of our specialties. We prepare the financial statements, working-capital and net-asset positions that iCare HBCF (NSW) and equivalent insurers in QLD, VIC, WA and SA require for builder eligibility and turnover limits. We package it the way brokers and insurers actually want it, so applications and renewals don't drag on.

Work-in-Progress is the value of jobs that are part-finished at 30 June — costs incurred but not yet invoiced (or progress claimed but not yet earned). Getting it wrong distorts your taxable income: too high and you pay tax on profit you haven't actually made yet; too low and the ATO can come back later. We calculate it properly using stage-of-completion or cost-to-cost methods so your year-end position reflects reality.

Maybe. It depends on your turnover, your asset position, who's in your household, and your appetite for site risk. We'll model it for you on the discovery call — no obligation. Most builders past around $200k turnover benefit from a Pty Ltd, often with a discretionary trust.

Fixed weekly fee, agreed up front, in writing. Plans start from $200 a week and most builders settle between $200 and $600 per week depending on your entity structure, turnover, number of subbies and how clean your books currently are. We'll quote you on the call — one weekly number, no hourly billing, ever.

All three. Xero is what most of our builders use. If you're not on cloud software yet, we'll get you set up with a chart of accounts built for the building industry — by job, by trade, by phase.

Office is in Norwest, NSW 2153 — right in the heart of the Hills District. We service builders heavily across the Hills, Western Sydney and the Central Coast — from Castle Hill to Kellyville to Rouse Hill in the Hills, and Gosford to Erina to Wyong on the Coast. Outside those areas? We work cloud-native, so builders right across NSW, QLD, VIC, WA and SA are welcome too. Most of our clients we see face-to-face once a year if that — everything else is phone, email and Xero.

Discovery call within 24 hours. Proposal within 48. If you say yes, we can usually take over your BAS and bookkeeping inside a week. Tax returns we plan around your year-end.
