As Futureflip grew rapidly in the residential construction industry across Sydney, we needed to continually increase our home warranty limits to keep up with demand and maximise our potential. Sheylea’s financial expertise was invaluable in strengthening our financial position and ensuring we had sufficient Adjusted Net Tangible Assets (ANTA) to meet the necessary requirements to support our growth. She also helped us structure and expand our property portfolio while providing key insights that guided important business decisions. Her advice has been a game-changer, and we consider her support essential for any business looking to grow and succeed.

We have been working with Sheylea and the Team for over 15 years, starting out as a sole trader we now operate a large residential construction company. Before we started working with The Builders Accountant, dealing with business finances was a constant headache so finding someone who actually understands the building industry has been a game-changer. In addition to periodic compliance they have provided a lot of guidance and worked with me to forecast and structure our finances ensuring we are in the optimum position to meet home warranty requirements – not just from a present open and individual project eligibility perspective but also considering future plans and projections for the company. The offering and expertise they are providing is so much more than just an average accountant. It’s comforting to know we have the support, knowledge and confidence of The Builders Accountant who can also explain a number of industry specific, complex issues in layman’s terms. If you’re a builder and need an accountant who speaks your language, I can’t recommend them highly enough.

The Builders Accountant has been undeniably instrumental to the performance and growth of our company over the past decade. It’s difficult to put into words the knowledge, expertise and advice that Sheylea and her team have provided however I think its important to note that The Builders Account isn’t your ordinary accounting firm. They have an impressive wealth of knowledge across all financial aspects within the residential building space which is invaluable for strategic planning, having confidence around industry benchmarks and a gaining a genuine understanding of what numbers actually mean and the impact of the decisions you make. One of the biggest game-changers has been their help in breaking down the numbers of individual projects and the metrics to assess performance (profitability and efficiency) on a micro level but also the impact of this on the business as a whole. Sheylea has also assisted us in the correct structuring of our entities and nothing short of genius tax planning. If you want an accountant you can partner with and trust – who does more than just lodge your tax return, this is the team you need in your corner!

When we first started working with The Builders Accountant, we were a small sole trader operation just trying to keep up with the demands of running a building business. Fast forward to today, and we’re now operating as a medium-sized construction company managing multiple projects at once — and there’s no doubt Sheylea has been instrumental in that journey.
Sheylea helped us uncover areas in our business where we were leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. She broke down our numbers in a way that actually made sense — giving us clarity on our profit margins, what we should be aiming for, and how to price our work properly.
Beyond tax compliance and the usual accounting stuff, she’s been a true strategic partner — helping us plan ahead for year-end tax, structure the business for growth, and ensuring we’re always in the strongest position for upcoming home warranty reviews.
What sets The Builder’s Accountant apart is their industry knowledge — they just get builders and the unique financial challenges we face. If you’re serious about growing your building business in a profitable and sustainable way, we can’t recommend Sheylea and her team highly enough.
