Construction is one of Australia's most financially complex industries. Projects are long, payments are often delayed, retentions are held for extended periods, and the gap between revenue recognised and cash actually received can create enormous pressure on a business that isn't managing its finances proactively.
At Mitri Consulting, we understand the mechanics of construction finance. We work with builders, subcontractors, civil contractors, and project developers to ensure their businesses have consistent access to the funds they need — whether that's maintaining healthy working capital, securing bank finance, or navigating the complexities of bank guarantees and performance bonds.
Cashflow is the lifeblood of any construction business. A well-run project can still bring a business undone if the money isn't flowing at the right time. We help our construction clients build clear cashflow forecasting models that give them real visibility over their position — not just today, but weeks and months ahead — so they can make informed decisions about tendering, resourcing, and financing.
We also assist with Work-in-Progress (WIP) reporting, ensuring your financial statements accurately reflect the stage of completion on all active projects. Accurate WIP is critical not just for compliance, but for understanding the true financial health of your business and presenting credible numbers to your bank or bonding insurer.
Construction businesses often invoice ahead of payment. We build robust cashflow forecasting models so you always know your position and can act before problems arise.
Banks and bonding insurers require credible, well-presented financials. We help you build the financial reporting and narrative that gives lenders confidence and opens the door to the funding your business needs.
Accurate Work-in-Progress reporting is essential for both compliance and business intelligence. We ensure your WIP schedule reflects the true position of every active project.
Tracking retentions and variations across multiple projects is complex. We implement the systems and processes to manage these efficiently and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
Understanding which projects make money and which don't is fundamental to growth. We help you implement job costing frameworks that give you real-time visibility over project margins.
Construction businesses face specific tax obligations including the Taxable Payments Annual Report (TPAR) and complex GST treatment on contracts. We ensure full compliance and identify every legitimate tax advantage.
We provide a comprehensive suite of financial services tailored to the unique demands of the construction industry.
