Accounting tailored for the construction & skilled trades business

All your financial and administrative tasks — handled by experts who know the specifics of your industry.

Workforce documentation & time oversight  

Contract preparation and review 

When employing builders, construction workers, and other site personnel, it’s essential to consider in employment contracts the specifics of the work such as variable working hours, overtime, occupational safety requirements, etc. Our specialists assist you with this and prepare documents covering all relevant aspects of your cooperation. 
We also assess existing contracts to identify any gaps or outdated terms and update them to align with current labour laws and industry practices. 

Working time tracking  

To give you a clear overview of each employee’s hours, we provide intuitive tracking tools. These allow you to record daily attendance, breaks, and overtime per individual, ensuring accurate and transparent compensation while meeting the documentation requirements of collective labour agreements. 

Absence and time-off monitoring

In addition to providing an overview of hours worked, the tools we help you integrate also give you full visibility into the periods during which a worker is unavailable due to vacation, sick leave, or scheduled days off.
Thanks to this, you can respond quickly on site, arrange replacements if needed, and avoid delays in ongoing construction work.

Work time report

We prepare a clear summary of each employee’s working hours, overtime, and absences, providing an accurate overview of their time balance to ensure proper compensation and alignment with labour regulations.

Project budgeting & financial monitoring 

Cash flow oversight 

Materials, meals, fuel, and site costs are frequently paid in cash, complicating the monitoring of who made payments, the amounts spent, and the purposes of these expenses. However, management of these transactions is crucial to avoid cost overruns, ensure timely project budgeting, and maintain transparency between stakeholders, subcontractors, and suppliers.
That’s why our experts dedicate precise attention to verifying which expenses were paid in cash – whether by shareholders, employees, or clients – maintaining comprehensive and accurate financial records. 

Project cost management 

If you’re dealing with proforma quotes or advance payments, you know they can be tricky – some require the full amount, others only partial, and some await final invoicing. When not properly recorded, they distort the financial picture of your projects, making it difficult to assess real costs, cash flow, and profitability. We help you structure project finances clearly by mapping all anticipated expenses – materials, labour, and overhead – into our accounting system, which provides accurate, real-time insights into performance and budget adherence.

Profitability assessment 

Before committing to a new project, it’s essential to evaluate whether it will be financially viable. We support you in forecasting total expected costs – such as personnel deployment, building resources, subcontracted services, and administrative effort – so you can clearly see the financial outcome before starting. 

Expense management  

On construction sites, it’s common for workers to purchase materials, tools, or other necessities directly. Receipts accumulate, credit cards are used inconsistently, and expenses risk going unrecorded, complicating accurate cost tracking and reporting.
Our experts assist in implementing efficient expense management systems, ensuring all outlays – whether cash or card – are properly documented, approved, and integrated into your financial records for reliable project accounting and budget control. 

Company car

Vehicle usage recording  

If your business has cars that are used for both professional and private purposes, it’s essential to document their use accurately. Unclear records can lead to VAT adjustments, additional social security contributions, and potential issues during tax audits. We help you set up structured mileage reporting to reduce risks and meet regulatory requirements. 

Establishment of corporate vehicle policies 

Our specialists develop tailored guidelines for vehicle use that clarify responsibilities, monitor mileage, and differentiate between business and private use. All details are clearly outlined, so your team knows exactly where usage limitations apply.
