Sound familiar?

Big jobs, long payment cycles, and margins that only show up at the end.

You find out a job lost money after it’s finished

Progress claims and variations live in a spreadsheet nobody trusts

Retentions owed to you, and by you, are hard to see

Subcontractor invoices and TPAR data are all over the place

Cash flow swings between deposits, claims and supplier bills

There’s a better way. ↓

How we do it

Construction bookkeeping isn’t standard small-business bookkeeping.

Progress claims and variations

Staged invoicing and variations tracked against each contract, so billed, owed and outstanding are always clear.

Job costing

Labour, materials and subbies coded to each job, so you see margin while there’s still time to act.

Retentions

Retentions held and owed tracked separately, so they aren’t forgotten at practical completion.

Subcontractors and TPAR

Subbie invoices, ABNs and TPAR data kept clean all year, ready for the August lodgement.

Cash flow forecasting

Forecasts built around claim dates, deposits and big supplier bills.

App integration

Buildertrend, simPRO and AroFlo synced with Xero.
