What we do

We take a finance function apart and put it back together.

Then we build the automation that keeps it working without anyone having to remember.

Bookkeeping

Your records kept properly and on schedule — transactions recorded to trial balance, bank and supplier statements reconciled, purchase and sales documents processed, payroll run from your own data.

Any business, any sector. A startup keeping its first proper set of records, an agency that has outgrown a shoebox, a wholesaler whose bookkeeper left. Where it is a contracting business, we handle subcontractor billing and CIS too — but none of that is a requirement.

Weekly or monthly, at a fixed fee. Your accountant receives clean, reconciled records instead of a carrier bag, and you stop carrying it in your head.

System migration

Moving off software that no longer fits — too heavy, too expensive, or simply beyond the people who have to use it. We handle the whole move: chart of accounts rebuilt, projects and contracts configured, opening balances in, historical data mapped, and everyone trained on the other side.

Done in parallel, so nothing stops while it happens.

Finance systems

Migration onto a platform proportionate to the business. Chart of accounts rebuilt. Projects and contracts configured so costs and income land against the work that produced them — which is what makes everything downstream possible.

Finance operations

The month-to-month running of it. Reconciliation, purchase and sales processing, payroll, supplier and customer ledgers kept current. For contracting businesses, subcontractor billing, timesheet processing, self-billing and CIS as well.

Done properly and on a schedule, so nobody is reconstructing a month in arrears.

Process automation

The parts of the month a person shouldn’t be doing. Invoice capture and routing. Multi-tier approval with an audit trail from receipt to payment. Duplicate detection. Chaser sequences. Payment tracking.

Job costing and pricing

Rate cards, materials, permits and time, priced against a job before it’s accepted rather than reconstructed after it’s finished. Subcontractor performance modelled, so a job is priced on who would actually do it.

This is usually the one that changes how a business behaves.

Standalone builds

Sometimes you just want the tool.

No bookkeeping, no engagement with your ledger. We build it, you run it, we license and maintain it. The subcontractor system below is construction through and through — the rest travel anywhere, because a dashboard is a dashboard in any industry.

Subcontractor payroll & timesheets£2,500 – £4,500

The one we get asked for most. Fifty subcontractors, weekly timesheets, varying rates, self-billing, CIS — and almost always a spreadsheet holding it together that only one person understands.

What’s involved · 3–5 weeks

  • Timesheet capture from the field, on a phone, without paper coming back to the office
  • Rates held in one place — by subcontractor, by work type, by rate band — so the same job is never charged two different ways
  • Self-bill invoices generated from approved timesheets rather than typed out
  • Timesheet against invoice against payment, reconciled automatically, with mismatches surfaced instead of buried
  • CIS300 and payroll returns produced from your own records, ready for you or your accountant to submit
  • Payment run prepared and checked, with duplicate and rate-mismatch detection before anything leaves
  • A single view of what each subcontractor has been paid, is owed, and has cost you against the jobs they worked
What it removes: Two people filling in the same charging template · Duplicates that nobody could realistically catch · The same rate remembered three different ways · A pay run that takes two days and still goes out wrong
Dashboard or tracker£1,200 – £2,200

One live view, running against your own system, opened by you rather than rebuilt by you.

What’s involved · 2–3 weeks

  • Review of where the data currently lives and how reliable it is
  • Agreeing the handful of numbers that actually change decisions
  • Build, connected live to your accounting system or sheets
  • Access set up for whoever needs it, on desktop and phone
  • Written handover, plus 30 days of support
Typical builds: Job margin by contract · Cash position and forecast · Debtor and creditor ageing · Subcontractor performance and spend · Revenue by work type · Fleet or plant utilisation · Weekly ops board for directors
Costing or pricing model£2,000 – £3,500

The thing that tells you whether to take the work, before you take it.

What’s involved · 3–4 weeks

  • Your rate card built in properly, including specialist and out-of-hours bands
  • Materials, permits, plant and time as separate inputs you control
  • Scenario logic — change one variable, see the decision change
  • Subcontractor or crew performance modelled, so jobs price on who does them
  • Validated against jobs you have already completed, so you can see it agrees with reality
Typical builds: Job pricing before quote · Contract-level margin forecasting · Break-even by work type · Labour vs subcontract comparison · Quote builder with output straight to PDF
Automation£1,500 – £3,000

The repetitive parts of the month, removed.

What’s involved · 2–3 weeks

  • Mapping the process as it actually runs, not as anyone thinks it runs
  • Rules designed with you, so the logic is yours and you can explain it
  • Built, then run in parallel with your current process until you trust it
  • Exception handling — what happens when something does not fit the rule
  • Documentation written for whoever inherits it, not for us
Typical builds: Invoice capture and routing · Multi-tier approval with audit trail · Duplicate and rate-mismatch detection · Chaser sequences for overdue payments · Timesheet to payment reconciliation · Automated month-end pack generation
Multi-source reporting£3,000 – £6,000

Several systems pulled into one view that updates itself.

What’s involved · 4–6 weeks

  • Audit of every system currently holding a piece of the picture
  • A pipeline that moves the data on a schedule, without anyone exporting anything
  • Reconciliation logic, so mismatches surface instead of hiding
  • One live view, with the detail underneath when you want it
  • Monitoring, so you know when a feed breaks rather than finding out later
Typical builds: Accounting system plus job management plus fleet · Payroll plus timesheets plus subcontractor billing · Multi-entity or multi-site consolidation · Operations data joined to financial data for true job cost

Everything we build runs in your environment, on your data, licensed to you. If you stop working with us, your records are exactly where they always were.

What it’s costing you now

Work out what your current process costs.

Most contractors have never put a number on invoice processing. It’s just what somebody does. Put your figures in and see it.

Recovery assumes automation removes around 65% of processing time and most duplicate payments — that is what we have seen, not a guarantee. Your figures, your result.

A 90-Day Review costs £2,850 in total. On the numbers above, it pays for itself in .
