Bookkeeping for Tradies & Construction

Stop doing paperwork at night

You work hard on site all day. The last thing you want to do is chase invoices or calculate subcontractor tax at night. We specialize in construction bookkeeping, ensuring your Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) is filed correctly and your subcontractors are paid on time.

TPAR Compliance: We track every payment to subcontractors for the ATO so you don't get fined.
Job Profitability: Know exactly how much profit you made on each project (Materials vs Labour).
Equipment Finance: Correctly recording asset write-offs and loan interest on utes and machinery.
Software Experts: We integrate Simpro, ServiceM8, or Tradify directly with Xero.

Common Mistakes Tradies Make

Mixing Personal & Business

Buying lunch or beers on the company card is the easiest way to trigger an ATO audit. We separate these expenses cleanly.

Losing Receipts

Faded receipts in the dashboard mean lost tax deductions. We set you up with Dext so you can snap a photo and throw the paper away.

Incorrect TPAR Filing

If you pay other contractors, you MUST lodge a TPAR report by August 28th. Missing this leads to automatic penalties.

Not Claiming Fuel Tax Credits

If you operate heavy machinery or travel off-road, you might be missing out on fuel tax credits.
