Accountants for Trades & Construction
Accountants for Trades & Construction
Whether you're a self-employed tradesperson, subcontractor or run a growing construction company, you need an accountant who understands the construction industry.
At Dilloway Accounting, construction isn't just another sector we work with—it's our specialism.
We work with builders, electricians, plumbers, roofers, carpenters, decorators, landscapers, bricklayers, groundworkers, heating engineers and many other skilled trades across the UK, providing straightforward accounting advice that helps businesses grow.
We understand the challenges you face because we've spent years supporting businesses just like yours.
We also understand that your working day doesn't finish at 5pm. When you're on the tools all day, finding time to discuss your finances can be difficult. That's why we're happy to arrange evening and weekend appointments, giving you the flexibility to speak when it suits you.
We Understand the Construction Industry
Running a trade business is demanding.
You're managing jobs, quoting work, ordering materials, paying subcontractors, chasing invoices and trying to keep customers happy—all while finding time to deal with your accounts.
That's where we come in.
We take the stress out of your finances so you can focus on running your business.
We Understand Trades
We understand what it's like to run a trade business.
We know that your office is often the front seat of your van. You're quoting jobs in the evening, answering customer calls between sites, ordering materials, chasing payments and trying to stay on top of paperwork after a long day's work.
That's why our service is designed to be straightforward, responsive and practical. We explain things without jargon, answer the phone when you need us and help you keep your finances under control so you can concentrate on delivering great work for your customers.
Specialist Construction Accounting Services
Whether you're a sole trader or limited company, we provide tailored support including:
CIS (Construction Industry Scheme)
We'll help you understand your responsibilities under CIS, whether you're a contractor or subcontractor, ensuring returns are submitted accurately and on time.
Bookkeeping
Keeping your records organised means you'll always know how your business is performing and won't be left scrambling at year end.
VAT Returns
Construction VAT can be complex, particularly with the Domestic Reverse Charge. We'll ensure everything is completed correctly and in line with HMRC requirements.
Payroll
Whether you employ staff, pay subcontractors or simply need a director's payroll, we'll take care of it.
Annual Accounts
Accurate accounts prepared and submitted on time, giving you complete peace of mind.
Corporation Tax & Self Assessment
We'll make sure you're paying the correct amount of tax and help you to understand the figures.
Helping You Build a Better Business
We're not just here to submit tax returns.
We'll help you:
- Improve your cashflow.
- Understand your business profits.
- Budget for your tax bills.
- Decide when it's time to employ staff.
- Stay compliant with HMRC and Companies House.
- Avoid unexpected tax bills.
We're always available to answer questions, so you can make decisions with confidence.
Switching Accountants?
Changing accountants is much easier than most business owners expect.
We'll contact your previous accountant, obtain the information we need, and handle the transition for you. In most cases, there's very little for you to do.
