What we solve

Common financial challenges in construction

Managing construction books comes with unique hurdles. We handle the ones that keep builders and subbies up at night.

Job costing complexity

Tracking costs across multiple simultaneous projects without losing visibility over margins.

Progress claims & retention

Managing progress billing, retention releases and cash flow across long project timelines.

Subcontractor compliance

PAYG withholding, superannuation and Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) obligations.

BAS & GST

Construction-specific GST rules are complex, and errors attract ATO penalties.

Payroll for site workers

Award interpretation, allowances and Single Touch Payroll (STP) for a mixed workforce.

Cash flow across projects

Bridging the gap between paying suppliers now and getting paid on progress claims later.

Construction accounting in Sydney

Accountants who understand the building industry

Numerix Accounting provides accounting and bookkeeping for construction and trades businesses across Sydney and greater NSW — from the CBD and Parramatta to Strathfield, Bankstown, Liverpool, Casula and Fairfield. We know the numbers behind the build: job costing, WIP, retention, progress claims and the compliance that comes with a mixed workforce.

Job costing that protects your margins

Profit in construction lives and dies on job costing. We allocate labour, materials and subcontractor costs per project, trade and phase in real time, so you see your true margin before the final invoice — not months after the job is done.

Subcontractors, TPAR and site payroll handled

If you pay contractors for building services, you must lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) each August. We track every subcontractor payment, prepare and lodge your TPAR, and run site payroll with allowances, overtime, PAYG and Single Touch Payroll.

One team for the whole build

Your construction books connect to the rest of your finances — accounting, tax, cash flow forecasting and equipment finance — all under one roof, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Answers for Sydney builders, subbies and trades. Still not sure? Call us on 1300 595 155.

Do you work with both head contractors and subcontractors?

Yes — we work with head contractors, specialist trades and subcontractors at every scale. Our service is tailored to your contracting structure, whether you run a large site or work solo.

What is a TPAR, and do I need to lodge one?

If your construction business pays contractors for building services, you're required to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) with the ATO each August. We handle this end to end — tracking payments through the year and lodging on time.

Can you handle Xero job tracking?

Absolutely. We set up and manage Xero Projects or Tracking Categories so you have real-time cost-versus-budget visibility per project, trade and phase.

Do you handle site payroll and allowances?

Yes. We run weekly or fortnightly payroll including site allowances, overtime, award interpretation, PAYG and Single Touch Payroll for a mixed workforce.
