For Builders & Tradespeople
You price the job, you do the work, you move to the next one.
Somewhere in between, HMRC wants monthly returns, quarterly VAT, digital records and a self-assessment — and the penalties for getting it wrong are real.
CIS subcontractors get caught out more than almost any other trade. Wrong deduction rate, missed monthly returns, deduction statements never chased from contractors, overpayments sitting with HMRC for years. You don't need to understand all of that — you just need someone who does. That's me.
Let's have a chatSound familiar?
Where the money quietly leaks out of a building business
CIS deductions come off your payments before you see a penny — 20% if you're verified, 30% if you're not. If those aren't being offset correctly at self-assessment, you're handing money to HMRC that belongs to you.
Monthly CIS returns have a hard deadline. Miss one and HMRC will issue a penalty. Miss several and they open a compliance check into everything — payroll, subcontractors, the lot.
The VAT domestic reverse charge still catches builders out — it changed the rules on when VAT is charged between contractors and subcontractors, and getting it wrong on either side is a HMRC problem.
Invoices go out late because you're on site all day, you're tired in the evening, and there's always another job to price. Which means payment comes late — every single month, from every customer.
What I do for you
The back office of a building business — done properly
CIS processing — monthly returns to HMRC, subcontractor verifications, deduction statements tracked and correctly offset at self-assessment

Bookkeeping — materials, plant hire, subbies, tools — everything recorded
Invoice management — out the day the job finishes, chased firmly if unpaid
Self-assessment prepared and filed — CIS overpayments reclaimed, expenses maximised
Social media — send me a photo from site and two sentences. I write the post, add the hashtags and publish it. You never touch a social media account.
Your Website — Made Simple
I do all of this for you.
Or I'll hand you the controls.
Most tradespeople don't want to be social media personalities. They want to be visible when someone local types "electrician near me" or "reliable plumber in [town]." That's what this is about.
The default is that I manage everything. You send me a photo and a line about the job — I write it up and post it to your Google Business profile and Facebook page. Steady, professional, local. You never open an app or log in to anything.
If you'd rather be hands-on, the system is already there. Add a photo, write a line, hit post — it's live on your website straight away, and a ready-to-copy social post is generated for you. No training needed, no tech knowledge, no waiting on anyone.
I do it for you — just send me the photo
Finish a job you're proud of, take a photo on your phone, and send it to me on WhatsApp. I write a few lines about the job and put it on your Google Business profile and Facebook page. You don't touch anything.
Every website includes a built-in CMS
Every site I build has a content management system built in from the start. Add jobs, update your website pages, and get a ready-to-copy social media post generated for you — all from one simple screen on your phone or laptop. No developer needed, ever.
It's not about followers — it's about being found
You don't need to go viral. You just need to show up when someone local searches for your trade. Regular, real posts from real jobs keep your Google profile active and your name in front of the right people.
Know what's changing in your trade
Built-in AI keeps an eye on regulation changes, tax updates, and practical news relevant to your industry — so nothing catches you off guard.
