Construction and contracting

Accounting support for project-based construction businesses.

Construction companies need records that reflect project activity, labour, subcontractors, equipment, supplier commitments and cash-flow timing. The applicable tax and statutory scope depends on the entity, registrations and work undertaken.

Engagement areas

Support connected to the operating realities of the sector.

Only the registrations, filings and services applicable to the entity and included in the accepted proposal form part of the engagement.

01

Project and cost records

Bookkeeping and reconciliations organised around projects, suppliers, subcontractors and operating expenditure.

02

VAT and income tax

Routine VAT, provisional tax, income tax and SARS administration where applicable.

03

Payroll and labour compliance

Payroll, employer returns, UIF and COIDA support within the agreed engagement.

04

CIPC and ownership records

Annual returns, beneficial ownership and company-record support where required.

05

CIDB, NHBRC and CSD

Administrative assistance with relevant contractor or supplier registrations where applicable to the business.

06

Reporting and cash flow

Management accounts, cash-flow monitoring and information for responsible project and finance decisions.

Information that helps us scope the work

  • How many active projects and entities must be accounted for?
  • What is the monthly accounting and payroll volume?
  • Which VAT, employer, CIPC, CIDB, NHBRC or CSD obligations apply?
  • Are project costs and supplier records currently reconciled?
  • Is the request for recurring support, corrective work or both?

Monthly retainer or separate project?

Recurring bookkeeping, reporting, payroll and routine compliance can be considered for a monthly retainer. Historical clean-up, specialised registrations, SARS audits or disputes, restructuring and other work outside the recurring scope are separately assessed and quoted.

Clear limits matter.
The accepted proposal records the entities, transaction volume, employee limits, reporting frequency, meetings and exclusions that apply.
