Take Your Construction Company Further – Specialist Accountants, Real Results
Construction is fast-moving and admin-heavy — CIS, VAT rules, payroll, subcontractors, materials, retentions and cashflow pressures all hit at once. At Swift Accountants, we turn complexity into clarity, stress into confidence, and accounting into your strategic advantage.
Every Service a Construction Company Needs – All in One Place
As specialist construction company accountants, we prepare and file your statutory annual accounts and Corporation Tax Return (CT600) for limited companies. We track deadlines, review allowances and reliefs, and keep everything compliant — so you pay what you legally owe, and not more.
If you pay subcontractors, CIS compliance is non-negotiable. We help you set up CIS properly, support subcontractor verification, check deduction rates, and keep your monthly CIS returns organised — reducing errors and protecting you from avoidable compliance issues.
We help you keep clean records of labour, materials, CIS deductions and payment dates — so your CIS reports match your accounts, your bookkeeping stays tidy, and you’re not scrambling when HMRC asks questions.
We handle VAT registration (when needed), VAT (MTD) submissions and VAT scheme guidance. If the construction reverse charge applies to your work, we help you keep invoices and records consistent so VAT doesn’t become a constant headache.
If you run payroll, we manage RTI submissions, payslips, and pension auto-enrolment processes — keeping you compliant while your team gets paid correctly and on time.
Good decisions need clean numbers. We build a simple monthly bookkeeping routine using Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent, and help you track labour, materials, plant and overheads — so you can actually see job profitability, not guess it.
Take home more with practical, compliant planning. We advise directors on tax-efficient salary/dividend strategies (where relevant) and help you stay compliant around expenses and record-keeping — with clear guidance you can act on.
Retentions and staged payments can squeeze cashflow hard. We help you stay on top of what’s owed, what’s due, and what’s coming — supporting cashflow forecasting and practical planning so you can grow without stress.
We handle official communications for you — HMRC queries, notices and submissions, plus Companies House filings where needed. No more brown envelopes causing stress. You get calm, clear support and a proper plan of action.
Your accountant should help you see what’s coming, not just report what’s happened. We support construction owners with simple cashflow forecasting, break-even checks, pricing guidance, and management reporting — helping you protect working capital and make better decisions with confidence.
Switching to Swift is seamless and fully managed. We handle the handover, organise your records, set up the portal and workflows, and get you into a simple monthly routine — so you hit the ground running.
With Swift Accountants, you get a dedicated construction accountant — no call centres and no confusing language. Ask questions when they matter, get straight answers, and feel confident your construction company accounts and tax are being handled properly.
