What Finstem does for a construction company.
Year-end accounts
Statutory accounts prepared from the bookkeeping, reviewed with you, and filed at Companies House on time.
Corporation tax
The computation and the CT600 from the same figures, with the payment date confirmed in writing.
Bookkeeping
Bank feeds reconciled through the year so the numbers are current when a decision needs them.
Tax planning
Pay, dividends and capital spending reviewed before the year end, while they can still change the bill.
Questions from construction companies.
Q1We deal with CIS, retentions and staged payments. Can you keep it straight?
Yes. Retentions and applications for payment are tracked so the accounts reflect what’s really owed, and the CIS side is handled in full — there’s a dedicated CIS page covering the returns, deductions and gross payment status.
Q2How does the VAT domestic reverse charge affect us?
For most construction services between VAT-registered businesses the customer accounts for the VAT, not you. Finstem sets your invoicing and bookkeeping up for the reverse charge so the returns are right and the cash flow isn’t caught out.
Q3Our jobs run across year ends. How’s that handled?
Work done but not yet certified or invoiced is carried as work in progress, so the profit lands in the right year. Finstem values it with you at the year end rather than guessing.
Q4What does switching involve?
One email from you. Finstem requests professional clearance and your records, sets up the software and the HMRC authorisations, and confirms every filing date. Two to three weeks.
