CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNTING SERVICES

Construction Accounting Services for Contractors & Growing Construction Businesses in Kenya

Practical accounting support for contractors and construction businesses in Kenya. We help you track project costs, manage suppliers and subcontractors, maintain accurate records, meet tax obligations and understand the profitability of every project.

CONSTRUCTION FINANCIAL CONTROL

Construction Accounting Challenges We Help You Control

Construction businesses often manage several projects, suppliers, subcontractors and payment cycles at the same time. Without organised accounting records, it becomes difficult to understand actual project costs, outstanding obligations, cash requirements and true profitability.

01

Project Cost Control

Track labour, materials, subcontractor costs and other project expenses so you can understand the actual cost and profitability of each job.

02

Supplier & Subcontractor Balances

Maintain clear records of supplier invoices, subcontractor payments, outstanding balances and amounts due across different projects.

03

Materials & Purchase Tracking

Record construction materials, purchases and project-related expenses accurately to reduce missing costs and improve project reporting.

04

Payroll & Site Labour

Organise payroll, casual labour and statutory obligations while ensuring labour costs are properly reflected in project accounts.

05

Tax & Statutory Compliance

Stay on top of VAT, PAYE, withholding tax, Housing Levy and other applicable KRA and statutory requirements.

06

Construction Cash Flow

Understand expected collections, supplier obligations, payroll commitments and upcoming project expenses before cash becomes tight.

PROJECT FINANCIAL VISIBILITY

Know the True Financial Position of Every Construction Project

Good construction accounting should show more than the balance in your bank account. We organise your project financial information so you can understand what each job is costing, what remains outstanding and whether the project is actually profitable.

01

Actual Project Cost

See the total labour, materials, subcontractor and other direct costs accumulated on each project.

02

Budget vs Actual Performance

Compare planned project costs against actual expenditure and identify overruns before they become difficult to control.

03

Project Profitability

Understand whether each project is generating an acceptable margin after considering the costs required to deliver the work.

04

Outstanding Client Receivables

Track invoices, payment certificates, retentions and other amounts still due from clients.

05

Supplier & Subcontractor Obligations

Know what is currently owed to suppliers and subcontractors and which projects those obligations relate to.

06

Projected Cash Requirements

See upcoming requirements for materials, payroll, subcontractors, taxes and other project commitments before payments fall due.
