Based in Brisbane and the Gold Coast we provide expert construction accounting for builders and contractors in the industry. Feel confused or overwhelmed by the volume of work required to keep up with QBCC licencing compliance? Not enough time to develop business-critical systems and processes that support growth? Want a better understanding of your costs and how to manage them? Contact us to schedule an appointment today.
Our construction accountant works with clients in residential or commercial builds, job or project-based operations, and head contractors or subcontractors.
As accountants to owners of trade businesses for over 10 years, we have x-ray vision into the challenges facing the builders and contractors operating in the construction industry. While most are technical experts in their trade, the majority are up against common issues.
The truth is, if you’re operating your business in building and construction, you don’t need to go it alone. We work with clients engaged in residential and commercial building, job- and project-based operations, and head contractors or subcontractors. As a construction accounting firm we know how to work with companies that need our services. Including construction project accounting.
We’re across the changes to legislation, including the introduction of the Building Industry Fairness Act (Qld) and amendment to QBCC Minimum Financial Reporting requirements.

Poor profitability across business
How we solved it
We implemented a strategic review of business to identify goals and actions. We discovered a legacy accounting system which was slow, difficult to use and provided no oversight of where or why profitability was impacted. We implemented a software upgrade to improve oversight, reporting and efficiency, enabling a reduction in administration staff. We also identified several opportunities to diversify income streams and boost business value. We developed a strategic plan for the next 3-5 years to roll-out these income streams and business units.
