Accounting for engineering and technical services.

Project billing, retention sums, progress claims and site payroll give engineering firms accounting needs closer to construction than consulting. We track projects to completion without losing the monthly picture.

What we handle

  • Progress claim and milestone billing
  • Retention sum tracking and recovery
  • Project cost and margin monitoring
  • Site staff and foreign worker payroll
  • GST on progressive supplies
  • Revenue recognition over project life

Projects measured while they run

Engineering losses happen quietly mid-project and surface only at completion. We track cost against budget per project each month, recognise revenue over the work rather than at invoicing, and keep retention sums visible until the day they are recoverable. Workers pass levies and CPF run on time, every month, including the complicated months.
