Let the Experts Handle the Numbers | You Build, We’ll Do the Books
Are you a builder, plumber, contractor, carpenter or running your own construction company? Then Dolman Bateman is the accountant you’ve been searching for.
Our directors come from a family of builders. With more than 35 years of experience helping tradies and construction companies, we understand your challenges, from council paperwork to subcontractor wrangling, project cost blowouts to BAS deadlines. We’ve lived it with our clients.
What We Know About Your World
Running a construction business can be highly profitable, but it’s also full-on. You’re managing:
Clients and jobs
Tools, supplies and plant
OH&S regulations
Staff and subcontractors
Endless paperwork and compliance
Amid all that, your finances must stay rock-solid. Without a clear handle on your numbers, it’s easy to run over budget, mismanage cashflow, or pay more tax than you should.
