Accounting for the Construction Industry

Let us do the numbers for you. 

Are you a builder, plumber, contractor, carpenter or an owner of a construction company?  Then we are the right accountants for you. Dolman Bateman’s directors come from a family of builders, and we know how the construction industry works. With over 35 yrs working closely with our construction clients, we know the headaches that you go through and what you need help with.

Operating a construction business can be highly profitable but we understand that there is also a lot to manage. Dealing with clients, management of equipment and supplies, occupational health and safety on site, overseeing staff and dealing with subcontractors and council approval paperwork, all this can be alot to deal with.

That is why it is important to keep your finances in order. Effective management of cashflow and ensuring that your company is not overspending on a job and understanding where the money is going can make the difference between your building business flourishing or struggling.

This is why it is extremely important that you find the right accountant that understands your business. Using a professional accountant that understands the financial issues of running a business can provide a benefit to you and your business, such as giving you more time to focus on your business and personal life, rather then worrying heavily about taxation.
