Common questions from Architecture & Engineering
What is WIP accounting and why does it matter for my practice?
Work-in-progress represents the value of services rendered on incomplete projects. Correct WIP accounting ensures your income statement reflects your actual earned income, not just invoiced amounts. This is critical for accurate profitability reporting and bankable financial statements.
Must I register for VAT as an architect or engineer?
Yes, if your taxable professional fee income exceeds R1 million in any 12-month period, VAT registration is compulsory. Voluntary registration from R50,000 is also possible. We assess your position and handle the full VAT101 registration process.
How do we allocate costs correctly across multiple projects?
We set up your accounting system with project codes or cost centres. All direct costs such as subcontractors, materials, and site expenses are allocated at the point of entry. You receive a project profitability report every month so you always know where you stand.
