Construction Business Financial Health Checks
Know Your Financial Position. Identify The Risks. Plan For Improvement.
How financially healthy is your construction business?
In construction, strong turnover does not always translate into healthy cash flow or sustainable profitability. Poor cost control, delayed payments, untracked retention and inadequate financial reporting can conceal problems until they affect business performance.
The Fountain Light UK provides structured Construction Business Financial Health Checks to assess your financial position, identify areas of concern and highlight opportunities to strengthen financial management.
Understand your numbers. Identify financial weaknesses. Take control of your business performance.

A Comprehensive Review Of Your Business Finances
What We Assess
Our Financial Health Check examines key financial and operational control areas to establish how effectively your business manages its finances.
Financial Records & Reporting
Are your financial records accurate, complete and reliable?
We review bookkeeping processes, reconciliations and financial reporting to identify gaps that may affect the accuracy and usefulness of your financial information.
Cash Flow & Working Capital
Do you have sufficient visibility over your cash and financial
commitments?
We assess cash-flow information, outstanding receivables, supplier commitments, retention balances and working-capital pressures to highlight potential financial risks.
Project Costing & Profitability
Do you know which projects are making money?
We examine project cost allocation, labour, subcontractor and material expenditure, budget performance and cost-to-complete information to identify potential margin erosion.
Debtors, Creditors & Retention
Are outstanding balances properly monitored and managed?
We review customer balances, supplier liabilities, overdue payments and contractual retention to identify discrepancies, delayed collections and potential cash-flow exposure.

Cis & Vat Controls
Are your construction-related accounting processes appropriately
structured?
We review subcontractor records, CIS deductions, VAT treatment and Domestic Reverse Charge processes to identify potential recording, reconciliation and compliance weaknesses.
Accounting Systems & Financial Processes
Does your accounting system provide the information your business needs?
We assess system configuration, chart of accounts, transaction coding, project tracking and financial workflows to identify opportunities for improvement.
Financial Performance & Management Information
Are your financial reports helping you make better decisions?
We assess the quality and relevance of management information, performance indicators and financial reporting to identify gaps in business oversight and decision-making.
