Your journey to meaningful accounting begins.
A residential builder was experiencing rapid growth and wanted to increase their home warranty limits to avoid turning away work or making large personal equity contributions.
To strengthen their financial position, we implemented these key accounting strategies:
✅ Optimising Adjusted Net Tangible Assets (ANTA) – We assessed and improved the client’s ANTA by setting financial targets and budgets to meet the required threshold for higher warranty limits.
✅Accelerating Revenue – Ensuring all client invoices were issued before 30 June and outstanding trade debtors were collected.
✅ Optimising the Balance Sheet – Maintaining two fixed asset registers to reflect a higher asset value for accounting purposes while optimising eligible tax deductions using accelerated tax depreciation rates.
✅ Recognising Work in Progress (WIP) – Documenting partially completed projects to reflect earned but uninvoiced revenue.
✅ Strengthening Liquidity – Advising on the repayment of personal withdrawals to boost ANTA position..
✅ Strategic Superannuation Payments – Ensuring timely payments for tax efficiency.
By understanding the Adjusted Net Tangible Assets (ANTA) metrics, we helped the client set financial targets and budgets to support the ANTA levels required to achieve the desired home warranty limits. This proactive approach enabled them to continue scaling their business without financial constraints.
Our client was over the moon!
A growing residential builder was winning projects but flying blind on profitability. While their craftsmanship was excellent, their financial picture remained foggy. They couldn’t tell which jobs were truly profitable and which were just keeping them busy—making it impossible to make confident decisions about their future.
We partnered with the builder to provide construction-focused financial intelligence. We stripped away the accounting jargon and focused on metrics that actually matter to builders:
✅ Margin vs. Markup — We showed them why using the wrong one had been silently eroding their profits job after job
✅ Gross Profit per Job/Week — We implemented systems to track true profitability on each project, revealing which types of work were worth pursuing and which to avoid
✅ Fixed vs. variable costs — We optimised cost management and forecasting..
✅ Breakeven Clarity — We calculated exactly how much work they needed to cover overheads before profits began
✅ True Labour Costs — We revealed what employees actually cost beyond their hourly rate, transforming their approach to pricing labour
We also identified gaps in their current accounting processes and streamlined systems to make financial data more accessible and relevant for decision-making.
With financial clarity came confident decision-making. The builder stopped taking on “filler projects” that looked good on paper but drained resources. They adjusted their pricing strategy based on actual data rather than industry norms and began targeting the project types their numbers showed were most profitable.Most importantly, they stopped wondering if they were making money and started knowing exactly where it was coming from—and where it was going.
