Our client had a successful construction company turning over $250,000 annually in 2013, but they needed help with high-level business planning as they entered the next phase of growing their business.
We met with our client quarterly to discuss costing, hourly rates and profitability, allowing them to focus on selecting the right jobs to improve their profitability. As of 2018, they are turning over $1.9 million.

You need to review your job costing to increase your income, as well as reducing your overheads through regular reviews of industry benchmarks. Quarterly reviews with your adviser will help you with this.
Catching up quarterly and reviewing the actual cost of the jobs just gone will provide an insight on what the actual cost of the job was, as opposed to what you thought the cost was. In many cases, tradespeople will under-quote their jobs because of a lack of insight into their actual costs.
By changing over to Xero, you can quote and invoice on a job and straight away. This is one of the easiest ways to streamline your processes and improve your time management.
The correct business structure ensures you are minimising your tax. Our accountants for tradies can also help you with tax planning as part of your long-term business plan.
