Accounting and Bookkeeping - Built for Plumbers, Electricians, HVAC, Landscapers, Pest Control & All Trades Businesses

Running a trade business means your time is worth more on-site than behind a desk doing paperwork.

Between answering the non stop phone calls, quoting jobs, sending invoices, chasing payments, tracking materials/labour and if you're making a profit or not...bookkeeping is often the first thing that gets pushed to "I'll do it at the weekend" - and then that doesn't happen until there's a mad rush at the year end or with the new MTD for Self Employed and VAT it's a nightmare you dread each quarter!

Vikki has spent over 28 years working with trades businesses - plumbers, electricians, HVAC engineers, landscapers, builders, sub-contractors for all of the above and more and she understands the specific challenges that come with the work: irregular cash flow between jobs, subcontractor payments and CIS deductions, tracking materials and expenses per job and making sure VAT and payroll are handled correctly and on time.

What This Means for Your Business

  • CIS handled correctly - deductions, verifications, reclaiming CIS, reverse charge VAT and monthly/quarterly returns done right, so you're never caught out.

  • Pricing that actually makes you money - understand exactly what each job costs you, so you can price with confidence and know you're making a genuine profit, not just breaking even (or getting to the end of the year and wondering how you've made a loss!)

  • VAT and payroll - whether you're a sole trader, sole director, self employed/limited company that runs a small team, your compliance is taken care of

  • One Person, Who Actually Understands Your Trade

    You won't need to explain what CIS is, or why materials costs vary job to job. Vikki already knows and you'll always speak to her directly, not a rotating team.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Being busy isn't the same as being profitable.

Without clear numbers behind you, it's easy to keep taking on jobs without really knowing which ones are actually making you money - or to get caught out by a VAT or tax bill you didn't see coming.

Good bookkeeping doesn't just keep you compliant, it gives you the confidence to price your jobs properly, plan for slow months and grow your business on solid ground rather than guesswork.
