CONSTRUCTIONACCOUNTANTSUK.
Connect with independent accountants experienced in construction and CIS work across the UK. From sole trader subcontractors to established building firms, find specialist expertise for CIS returns, rebates, and HMRC compliance.
We match by the work required, including CIS, payroll, company accounts and HMRC compliance, rather than sending a generic directory list.
Our vetting questions cover identity, professional background, construction-sector experience, service scope and current availability.
You can compare the proposed accountant, ask about relevant experience and fees, and decide whether to instruct them directly.
There is no charge to submit an enquiry or receive a match. Any professional fees are agreed directly with the independent accountant.
CONSTRUCTION TAXGETS COMPLICATED FAST.
The Construction Industry Scheme can affect sole-trader subcontractors, limited companies and contractors paying other construction businesses. Monthly filing, verification, VAT, payroll and year-end records often need to be considered together.
Incomplete deduction statements, missing expense evidence and inconsistent bookkeeping can delay returns and create avoidable questions. An accountant with relevant construction experience can review the records, explain the available options and agree a clear filing plan.
Our matching service connects construction businesses with independent accountants whose stated experience covers the work required. You can discuss scope, professional status, fees and timing directly before deciding whether to instruct the proposed match.
Missing statements, verification references and expense evidence make returns and refund claims harder to support.
Missed deadlines and inconsistent figures can create penalties, follow-up questions and avoidable corrective work.
Payroll, CIS, VAT and year-end accounts affect one another, so gaps in one process can distort the others.

Frequently Asked QuestionsAbout Construction Accountants
Fees vary by business type, record quality, turnover, deadlines and the work included. Ask each proposed accountant for a written scope that explains one-off fees, recurring fees, exclusions and any extra charges before you instruct them.
You do not have to use a specialist, but relevant CIS and construction experience can be useful where monthly returns, subcontractor verification, VAT, payroll and year-end records interact. Ask the accountant to explain their experience with businesses like yours.
An accountant can help confirm the registration steps, organise the information HMRC requires and explain the difference between standard deductions and gross payment status. Eligibility and the final decision remain subject to HMRC's rules.
The domestic reverse charge applies to many standard- and reduced-rate construction services supplied between VAT-registered businesses where the services fall within CIS. Exceptions and end-user rules can change the treatment, so the transaction should be checked before the invoice is issued.
The records depend on whether you operate as a sole trader, company, contractor, subcontractor or employer. Common records include invoices, receipts, bank transactions, CIS verifications, deduction statements, subcontractor payments, payroll information and VAT evidence. Keep them for the period that applies to your tax and business status.
Some accountants offer management accounts, payment planning, debtor reporting and cash-flow forecasts. Confirm whether these are included in the proposed scope rather than assuming they are part of a standard compliance package.
Many do, but service scope varies. Ask whether the quote includes PAYE, RTI submissions, pension duties, starters and leavers, year-end reporting and the separate treatment of subcontractors under CIS.
A CIS contractor normally sends the monthly return by the 19th following the end of the tax month. A nil return or inactivity request may be needed when no subcontractor payments were made. Check the current HMRC guidance for your circumstances.
Some accountants provide record reviews, correspondence support, disclosure work and representation during HMRC checks. Ask specifically about relevant experience, authority to act, the fee basis and whether specialist tax or legal advice may also be required.
Status depends on the real working arrangements, not just the contract label or CIS registration. Control, substitution, financial risk and other factors may be relevant. CIS treatment does not by itself prove that someone is self-employed.
