Clarke McEwan Accountants

Are you looking for expert accountants and bookkeepers in the building and construction industry?


We know it's a complex industry, and it's been hit hard recently. Getting professional help to get your business finances under control will help ease the stress of pressures that many in your industry are facing. Engaging advisors who are specialists in your unique industry can help you to sustain your business and even thrive in difficult times.


There are many areas of bookkeeping for the building and construction industry that we often see could be managed better (and more profitably) with sound advice and the right software.


Tracking work in progress

Applying customer and supplier deposits

Allocating progress payments

Accounting correctly for retentions

Complex payroll and contractors

Accurate job costing

GST and BAS payment planning

Managing the fixed asset register

Control of inventory stock levels and costs

Taxable payments annual report

Accounts payable and receivable management

Cash flow forecasting and budgeting



Just like your construction work, using the right administration tools always makes the job easier. Businesses often start with simple accounting and business management software but don't upgrade the admin, payroll and accounting tools in line with business changes or growth.


Talk to us if you’re ready to review or upgrade your current bookkeeping and business systems. We can advise on the best accounting software and related add-on solutions for your business and help implement best practices to streamline the administration and accounts.


Let us help your business to thrive.
