Accountant for architects

Building a solid financial basis for you and your architectural firm will allow you to form a stable foundation and carry out your business with minimal worry.

Smith Butler can help you do just that. Our specialist accounting team for architects is well versed in the architectural sector and will support you through the industry challenges you face, while keeping you tax-efficient and helping you maintain a healthy profit margin.

By assisting with your job costing, cash flow management, and tax planning, we’ll make sure you minimise your spend and maximise your income.

Why choose us as your accountants?

Cashflow management

To ensure you maximise your profitability, we will help you prepare detailed cashflow forecasts based on your current income and expenditure. By keeping track of your costs and business finances, we will help you see if there are any areas where you could tighten your spending while maintaining the level of your architectural services.

In doing so, we can help you identify times where you may have some spare capital which you could reinvest in your architectural practice, helping it to grow and thrive.

Cashflow management is also essential to provide a safety net should you encounter any unexpected pitfalls or delayed payments, ensuring your financial health remains strong.

Job costing and planning

Job costing and planning is a crucial process so you can identify how much a contracted job is going to cost before you start. Our accounting software experts will sit down and run the numbers with you, ensuring you don’t overspend and reduce your profits once your future projects are complete.

Payroll solutions

Our team will carry out your payroll systems, ensuring your staff are paid correctly and on time. Any deductions needing to be made will be considered, as well as any further compliance within IR35 rules for contractors.

If you have a workplace pension, we can enrol any team members and make sure their contributions are kept safe and compliant with current legislation.

R&D tax credits and tax relief

Architects looking to innovate within their field may be able to take advantage of reclaiming some of their work costs through research and development (R&D) tax credits. The Government offers these tax reliefs to support businesses striving to push the boundaries of their field.

With our tax advisors’ expertise, you’ll be able to apply for these credits and see a return on the money you’ve invested into your architectural services.

Comprehensive accounting services for architectural businesses

We provide a full range of accounting services tailored to the needs of architecture firms, including corporation tax planning, tax preparation, and ensuring tax compliance. Our chartered accountants understand the financial side of architectural practices and can assist you in managing your business finances efficiently.

Focus on your work, not the numbers

Architecture is a creative but demanding industry. Instead of worrying about your books, let us do that for you. Smith Butler will allow you to focus on the more pressing matters of your business and manage the behind-the-scenes work of your accounts using cloud accounting software for accurate financial reporting.
