At Swift Accountants, we specialise in providing accounting, bookkeeping, and tax services specifically for construction companies in the UK. Whether you run a main contracting firm, specialist trade business, or a fast-growing construction SME, our certified experts understand CIS, VAT, project costing, subcontractor management, and every compliance headache you face. We make sure your financial records are flawless, your tax bill is as low as possible, and your company stays fully compliant—so you can focus on running sites, winning contracts, and building your legacy.
We are specialists in the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)—handling all CIS registrations, monthly submissions, and reclaiming overpaid tax for contractors and subcontractors. Never miss a CIS deadline, avoid costly HMRC penalties, and get your CIS refund fast. Our construction accountants chase every allowable deduction—materials, tool hire, travel, PPE, and more—so your business keeps more of what you earn.
Full payroll service for your site and office staff—including PAYE, RTI submissions, CIS for subcontractors, holiday pay, sick pay, and auto-enrolment pensions. We ensure every team member is paid on time, every month, and all construction payroll records are 100% compliant and audit-ready. No more payroll headaches or staff disputes—just peace of mind.
Instant, cloud-based bookkeeping with Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent—set up for construction company needs. Track job-by-job profits, retentions, supplier invoices, subcontractor costs, plant hire, and fuel—all in real time. Get live cashflow reports and cost breakdowns, so you know exactly which contracts are making money, and where to improve.
Our construction VAT specialists manage every part of your VAT lifecycle. We register your business, file quarterly returns, and handle the Construction VAT Reverse Charge (no more confusion or risk of fines). We make sure you reclaim every allowable expense—from building materials to fuel and site services—while keeping you 100% compliant with Making Tax Digital.
Proactive, year-round tax strategy built for construction companies. We maximise capital allowances on plant, vehicles, and equipment, claim R&D tax credits for innovation, structure your business for tax efficiency, and give guidance on dividends, salaries, and director loans. Our tax planning means more profit in your pocket, not the taxman’s.
We prepare and file your statutory accounts, corporation tax returns, and Companies House confirmation statements—always accurate, always on time. From shareholdings to director changes, we handle all compliance, so you never have to worry about a deadline or a fine.
No more dealing with letters, calls, or unexpected HMRC demands. We take care of all official correspondence, resolve queries, and represent you in case of investigations—shielding your business from hassle and lost time.

Clear Answers, Confident Decisions
A: Construction businesses face unique challenges, including CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) rules, project-based accounting, the VAT reverse charge, and complex payroll for both staff and subcontractors. A specialist construction accountant ensures you claim every allowable expense, remain HMRC-compliant, and avoid costly mistakes—saving you time, money, and stress.
A: Specialist construction accountants like Swift Accountants handle CIS registration and returns, payroll management, VAT registration and returns (including reverse charge VAT), company accounts, tax planning, digital bookkeeping, real-time project cost tracking, HMRC correspondence, cashflow forecasting, and business growth advice. We offer a complete, all-in-one solution for your financial peace of mind.
A: You can claim a wide range of expenses including tools and equipment, materials, subcontractor payments, plant and vehicle costs, fuel, PPE, training, insurance, marketing, travel, office costs, and even some staff welfare and subsistence expenses. We help you track and claim every legitimate cost to reduce your tax bill.
A: CIS is a HMRC scheme that affects most construction businesses working as contractors or subcontractors. You must register, deduct CIS tax from payments to subcontractors, file monthly CIS returns, and issue statements. As a subcontractor, you may be entitled to a CIS tax refund. We handle all CIS registration, submissions, and refunds so you stay compliant and keep more of your money.
A: The VAT Reverse Charge applies to most supplies of building and construction services. Instead of charging VAT to your customer, you pass on the responsibility to account for VAT to them. This helps prevent fraud but can affect your cashflow and VAT returns. We ensure you apply the rules correctly, update your invoicing, and stay penalty-free.
A: Yes! We check your CIS deductions, make sure you’re not overpaying, and submit claims for any CIS tax refund you’re owed. Many contractors and subcontractors recover thousands each year with expert help.
A: Absolutely. Whether you’re just starting your first company or running a multi-site business, we support construction businesses at every stage—from company formation and VAT/CIS registration to scaling, tax planning, and exit strategies.
A: We recommend and support industry-leading cloud platforms like Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent, which are perfect for tracking project costs, invoices, payroll, and CIS. We help you set up and use your software, so you have total clarity and control.
A: Switching to Swift Accountants is seamless and 100% managed by us. We’ll contact your current accountant, transfer all your records, set up your systems, and make sure you don’t miss a beat. There’s zero disruption to your business.
A: We handle all statutory accounts, corporation tax returns, confirmation statements, CIS and VAT submissions, and payroll filings. You get proactive reminders and full support, so you never worry about missing a deadline or facing a penalty.
A: Yes! We advise on business loans, asset finance for plant and vehicles, R&D tax credits, cashflow forecasting, and strategies for scaling your company. Our goal is to help your business grow—profitably and sustainably.
