For growing construction businesses that need more than bookkeeping but aren't ready for a full-time finance hire, we act as your outsourced finance function on a flexible basis.
Construction businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping, where the owner needs real financial insight to make decisions, not just a set of accounts once a year. Especially useful if you're applying for funding, bringing in investors, or simply need someone senior keeping an eye on the numbers between year-ends.
We start by understanding what decisions you're actually trying to make — pricing jobs, planning for tax, deciding whether to take on more work — and build the reporting around that, not a generic template. Monthly management accounts are prepared from your real numbers, not estimates, with the KPIs that matter to a construction business, such as job margins, work in progress and cash position, front and centre. If you're raising finance or bringing in a partner, we prepare the reporting pack to the standard lenders and investors actually expect, and we're available between reports to talk through what the numbers mean, not just hand them over.

Bookkeeping records what happened. A virtual finance department interprets it, turning the numbers into management accounts, KPIs and forecasts you can actually act on, with someone available to talk through what they mean.
Not really, it's more about complexity than size. If you're running multiple jobs at once, thinking about funding, or making decisions without clear visibility of margins and cash, that's usually the point it starts paying for itself.
Yes. It's a flexible, ongoing arrangement, not a fixed contract — some clients use it heavily during a growth period or funding round, then scale back to standard bookkeeping and accounts once things settle.
