Our expertise includes property development and investment, house builders, civil engineers and tradesmen and women. We've worked alongside all sizes of business ever since the firm was set up over 100 years ago, always providing solutions specific to each client's requirements.

As with many sectors, tax and accounting issues in this sector are becoming more complex and to provide the best solution for your business requires an integrated approach.

With our extensive services provision we support our property and construction clients with a wide range of business needs including commercial accounting, raising finance and tax planning through to HR, payroll and services.

In addition, our construction industry scheme (CIS) expertise will help you negotiate your way around the complexities of the CIS tax compliance guidelines quickly and easily.

Whether you are a sole trader, a construction company or property investor, there are many areas we can help you with, including:

  • advice on using sub-contractors
  • guidance through complicated VAT rules
  • advice on the best trading structure for your business
  • construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
  • cashflow projections
  • managing costs.
