Industries & software
We know the books before we open them.
Your firm is our client. The sectors below are your clients — the entities whose files we handle on your behalf, and where we already know what to expect in the ledger and where the tax questions usually sit.
Ten sectors we handle routinely.
| Ref | Sector | What usually needs the most care |
|---|---|---|
| I‑01 | Building, construction & civil | Work in progress, retentions, progress claims, subcontractor withholding and job costing. |
| I‑02 | Retail & multi-store networks | Point-of-sale reconciliation, stock on hand, shrinkage and per-store reporting. |
| I‑03 | Trades & field services | Vehicle and tool depreciation, private use apportionment, and job-level margin. |
| I‑04 | Hospitality, cafes & venues | Daily takings, tips and wastage, high-volume payroll and rostered leave accruals. |
| I‑05 | Property & real estate | Ring-fenced residential losses, bright-line disposals, interest limitation and mixed-use assets. |
| I‑06 | Transport, logistics & freight | Fleet depreciation, road user charges, fuel and driver payroll. |
| I‑07 | Professional services | Work in progress and disbursements, partner or shareholder drawings, and revenue recognition. |
| I‑08 | E-commerce & digital | Platform settlement reconciliation, multi-currency, GST on imported goods and remote services. |
| I‑09 | Medical, dental & allied health | Practice structures, contractor versus employee treatment, and equipment finance. |
| I‑10 | Manufacturing & wholesale | Inventory valuation, cost of goods sold, import costs and plant depreciation. |
