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.


Why You Need a Specialist Construction Accountant

You don’t need just any accountant, you need one that understands construction. At Dolman Bateman, we go beyond the basics. We help you:

  • Manage cashflow and job costs

  • Track labour expenses

  • Structure your business for growth

  • Minimise tax and prepare for retirement

We give you back the time and clarity to focus on what you do best, building your business.


New to the Industry? We've Got You Covered

Thinking of starting a construction business? Our start-up advice sets you up for success. We’ll help you make confident decisions from day one, including:

  • Choosing the right structure (Sole trader, company, trust?)

  • Registering for ABN, TFN, GST, WorkCover and more

  • Setting up payroll and bookkeeping software

  • Understanding vehicle and equipment deductions

  • Implementing record-keeping systems that work on site

  • Securing equipment finance

  • Planning your tax from the get-go

  • Getting your business sale-ready down the track

  • Building your super for retirement
