Our Specialist Accounting
Services for Builders
Tax Returns & Compliance
We manage all aspects of tax compliance for builders, from BAS and GST lodgements to income tax returns. Our team identifies industry-specific deductions such as tools, vehicles, insurance, materials, safety equipment, and depreciation on machinery or plant.
Business Structuring & Setup
Choosing the right business structure is essential for builders to protect assets and minimise tax. We advise on company setups, trusts, and partnership structures to help you scale safely and efficiently.
Job Costing & Project Accounting
Construction is project-driven, and accurate cost tracking is crucial. We implement systems to monitor material, labour, and subcontractor costs, ensuring your projects stay profitable and within budget.
Bookkeeping & Payroll
We provide streamlined bookkeeping and payroll services, including superannuation, PAYG, and subcontractor payments. Using Xero, MYOB, and other cloud systems, you’ll have real-time visibility into your financial position.
Cash Flow Forecasting & Budgeting
Cash flow is one of the biggest challenges in the building industry. We help you plan for irregular income, manage progress payments, and forecast expenses to ensure stability throughout every stage of a project.
Asset & Equipment Financing
Whether you’re purchasing new machinery, vehicles, or tools, we assist with finance options and ensure correct tax treatment for depreciation and asset write-offs.
Business Advisory & Growth
We provide tailored advisory services to help you scale your construction business sustainably — from tendering and quoting to expansion planning and profitability analysis.
Construction Industry Compliance
We assist with compliance obligations including Workers Compensation, Long Service Leave schemes, Payroll Tax, and ATO reporting for subcontractors under the Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR).
Superannuation & Wealth Planning
Through Bottrell Wealth, we offer advice on superannuation, SMSFs, and long-term investment strategies to help builders secure financial independence beyond the tools.
