Monthly & quarterly

Bookkeeping with job costing

Every cost is coded to a job, so you can see labour, materials, plant and subcontract spend against each contract as it happens. Applications for payment are tracked separately from certified sales, so revenue isn't overstated and margin means something.

CIS returns and reclaims

We verify new subcontractors, calculate deductions, issue payment and deduction statements, and file your monthly CIS return by the 19th. If you're a subcontractor as well as a contractor, we set CIS suffered against your PAYE liability every month rather than waiting for year-end.

VAT, including reverse charge

We check the VAT status of every customer and supplier so the domestic reverse charge is applied where it should be and nowhere else. Returns go in a week before the deadline. If you're regularly in a repayment position because of reverse charge, we'll move you to monthly returns.

Payroll and subcontractor status

Weekly or monthly payroll, pensions, and RTI. Once a year we review how you engage labour so employment-tax exposure doesn't build up unnoticed.

The monthly working document

Within ten working days of month-end you get a live document, not a report. It's built in three parts. What: where the business stands, on a certified basis, with the month in a sentence. So what: cash and balance sheet, the good, the watch points, and the Taxtful view on the conversation worth having. Now what: three actions with a name and a date. Behind it sit the tabs: jobs and margin, retentions, receivables by client, the 13-week forecast, CIS and VAT, tax position, benchmarks against similar firms, and your inputs. Then we talk it through.
