Running a construction business is no small task. Between managing projects, dealing with suppliers, and ensuring everything runs smoothly on-site, finances can often take a back seat. But keeping your finances in check is crucial for long-term success. That’s where SGL Accountancy comes in. We specialise in construction and property accounting in the UK, and we can take the entire finance function off your hands, so you can focus on what you do best—growing your business.
Understanding the Pain Points in Construction Accounting – Common Financial Challenges
If you’re a construction business owner, you’ve likely faced some financial headaches. From managing cash flow to keeping up with tax obligations, the financial side of construction can be overwhelming.

Improving Cash Flow Management – Why Cash Flow is Critical
Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business, but in construction, it’s especially vital. Poor cash flow can lead to delayed projects, unpaid suppliers, and even business failure. Keeping a steady cash flow is challenging, especially when clients are slow to pay.

Handling Your Tax Obligations – The Complexity of Construction Taxes
Tax obligations can be particularly tricky in the construction industry. From VAT on materials to CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) deductions, there are many tax regulations to keep up with. Making a mistake can lead to fines and penalties.

Accurate bookkeeping is the foundation of good financial management. But let’s face it—keeping track of every transaction can be tedious and time-consuming, especially when you’re busy managing a construction site.

Managing Payroll for Your Team – Payroll Challenges in Construction
Managing payroll in the construction industry can be complicated. With a mix of permanent employees and subcontractors, different pay rates, and varying hours, it’s easy to make mistakes. And payroll errors can lead to unhappy workers and potential legal issues.
