CONSTRUCTION ACCOUNTING & FINANCE
Construction Accountants Built for the Construction Industry
By someone who's been on site — we work exclusively with construction SMEs because specialist construction accounting requires more than technical knowledge. It requires an understanding of how construction businesses actually operate.

Alexander Vaudejes is a specialist construction accountant with direct experience across refurbishment, commercial fit-out and residential projects valued up to £13 million.
"I kept seeing construction businesses — good businesses run by skilled people — struggle financially in completely avoidable ways."
So I went back to study accounting and finance. Not to change industries, but to bring financial discipline to the one I already understood from the inside.
Vau Consult is the business I wished existed when I was on site. We work exclusively with construction SMEs because that specificity is the point — an accountant without CIS experience or project-based financial knowledge simply can't give you the same quality of advice as someone who has lived it.
If you'd like a straightforward conversation about your business finances, I'd love to hear from you.
WHO WE ARE
A consultancy built around one industry
Vau Consult is a specialist construction accounting and finance consultancy supporting contractors, subcontractors, sole traders and construction SMEs across the UK.
​
We provide bookkeeping, accounting, CIS administration, VAT compliance and construction payroll — all designed specifically for the construction industry. Management reporting, cash flow forecasting and outsourced finance support are available for businesses that need a more hands-on partnership.
​
Unlike generalist accountants who serve dozens of sectors, construction is the only industry we work with. That focus allows us to understand the realities of project-based work, subcontractor management, retention payments, CIS obligations, domestic reverse charge VAT and the cash flow pressures construction businesses face every day.
​
Our goal is simple: to help construction businesses gain greater control, improve financial visibility and make better-informed decisions with confidence.

WHY WE EXIST
Good construction businesses shouldn't struggle financially.
Construction business owners are experts at delivering projects, managing teams and keeping clients happy. But without specialist financial support, the same businesses often struggle with CIS compliance, cash flow pressure, poor visibility across jobs, and admin that never seems to get on top of. Vau Consult exists to fix that.
No internal finance function
Most construction SMEs operate without a dedicated finance team, resulting in inconsistent bookkeeping and weak financial controls.
CIS complexity
Subcontractor payment structures, deduction rates, and monthly returns create ongoing compliance risk for businesses without specialist support.
Cash flow blind spots
Project-based operations make it hard to see real profitability. Many businesses don't know where they stand until the problem is already serious.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Construction expertise meets accounting and finance.
​Our combination of construction industry experience and financial expertise allows us to provide practical advice built around how construction businesses actually operate.
Construction Only
We work exclusively with construction businesses. Every recommendation, process, and service is designed around how construction companies operate.
Technology Driven
We use cloud accounting systems to give clients real-time visibility over their finances. No waiting for end-of-year summaries — you know where you stand, as you go.
Industry Understanding
We understand subcontractors, project delivery, labour costs, retention, variations, procurement, valuations, and cash flow because we have worked within the industry ourselves.
Plain language, no surprises
We clearly publish our scope and pricing. If something changes, we tell you before it matters — not after.
