Construction Accountant Swansea

Stay on the tools, and we'll take the accounts from here

The accounts should not be another job waiting for you at the end of a day on site. We look after the books, the tax and the returns for construction businesses, including firms in Swansea and across South Wales, and we explain them in plain language so you can see where you stand.

Tell Rhys about the business, and he will come back with a clear next step.

Who this is for

For owners who are on the tools, not stuck in the books

This is for trades and subcontractors, where the work is on site and the accounts are the part that slips. You need someone who understands that the business runs from the job, and who will take the numbers on without turning every conversation into jargon.

The owner

Trades and subcontractors who are running the job and the business at the same time, and who do not have a finance team sitting back at the office.

The industry

Construction accounts move with the site. Labour, materials and money that is still owed can make a normal set of books hard to read, even when the work itself is going well.

How we work with them

You stay on the tools. We take the books, the tax and the returns, and we talk them through in plain language so you know what has been done and what it means.

The problem

The books fall behind the work on site

Construction accounts throw up problems a normal set of books does not. Money can be tied up after the job is finished, materials and labour get mixed together, and it is not always obvious whether you are the contractor, the subcontractor, or both.

  • You are not always sure whether you are the contractor, the subcontractor, or both, and the records never quite settle.
  • Money can sit unpaid long after the job is finished, while the bank balance still looks fine.
  • Materials and labour get mixed together, so the margin on a job is harder to see than it should be.

Why RNE

Someone who will take the weight of the accounts

The books, the tax and the returns get looked after, and they get explained in plain language rather than being left for you to decode. The fee is talked through before any work starts, so you know what you are agreeing to.

  • The accounts come off your desk, rather than landing in the evening once the site work is done.
  • The fee is talked through before you commit, so there is no surprise once the work is underway.
  • You know who is looking after the work, because you speak to Rhys rather than being passed around a team.

Worth knowing

What usually comes up before you decide to start

  • The worry

    You still speak to the person doing the work

    A lot of owners have been through a firm where the person on the phone is not the person doing the accounts. You speak to Rhys here, he explains what he is going to look after before anything starts, and you can see what you are paying for, so you are not left wondering who is actually holding the numbers.

    Coffee Cup

  • The fees

    The fee is talked through before you start

    There is no public price list, because the fee follows the work and a construction business is rarely a standard package. Rhys talks through what you need and what that costs before you agree to anything, so the first conversation covers the number rather than leaving it until an invoice turns up.

FAQs

Questions about construction accounts

These are the questions owners usually ask once the site work is moving and the accounts have fallen behind. If yours is not here, that is what the first conversation is for.

  • Do you handle the records as well as the year end?

    We look after the books through the year and the accounts at the end of it, so you are not starting from a pile of paperwork when the return is due. Tax sits with that work, rather than turning into a separate job later.

  • Can you explain the numbers without the jargon?

    Yes. The point of the work is that you can follow it. Rhys talks through what the figures mean in plain language, so you can see how the business is actually doing.

  • What do you need from me to get started?

    Tell Rhys what the business does, how the jobs are invoiced, and where the numbers feel messy. He will tell you what he needs from there, rather than sending a long list before he understands the work.

  • How do fees work?

    The fee follows the work, so there is no public price list. It is talked through before you commit, and you hear the number before anything starts.

A note from Rhys

If the site work is moving and the accounts are the part that keeps slipping, that is the bit I can take off you. Tell me what the business does and where the numbers feel messy, and I will come back with a clear next step rather than a pile of jargon.
