Certax Accounting (St Albans District) Ltd

Property developers

Let us do your paperwork and forecasting so you can get on with growing your business

We know you need the paperwork doing…

Starting with the paperwork is not really exciting is it? But we know, unless all of your financial records are in order, there is a massive risk that a hefty financial penalty is on its way.

Perhaps you don’t have the cash flow to complete your current project? And, without your books up to date, there is no way you can put together a forecast which will allow you to make meaningful decisions about your next project.

When we start working with you, the first thing we do is take away this headache. Once the books are straight, we will work collaboratively with you to make sure your business is completely legal and put in place reliable cash and profit-based forecasts and budgets. This means you can get on and do more of what you love; growing your property empire and seeking out the next development to invest in.

Ditch these fears…

We’ve worked with countless property developers and have found that they have 5 main fears:

1.

Getting it wrong and having HMRC coming after them, particularly with VAT and the CIS scheme.

2.

Falling foul of property tax law, particularly in regards to whether you sell or rent out your new build or newly bought properties.

3.

Being able to secure short-term finance, particularly with the banks being less reluctant to lend.

4.

ATED returns, and whether or not you need to fill one in this year.

5.

Spiralling interest rates on development finance.

...and gain these freedoms

If the above sounds more than vaguely familiar, don’t worry, you are not alone. Many of our property developer clients have been or are in that same exact position – how do you think we got this list of worries and fears in the first place?

Whatever fears you may have as a property developer, we will work closely with you to break through any barriers holding you back. From having the cash to fuel your development projects, and peace of mind to know that you are not going to have a difficult conversation or high tax from HMRC.

So how do we do it?
