THE CHALLENGE

Professionals and firms operating in the Built-Environment have long been underserved with inadequate professional business support that does not meet their current and ongoing requirements – in the areas of taxation, internal (operational) finance support and management systems.  Firms are often ill-equipped to provide financial insights into their operations, sufficient to understand their overall profitability – on a project-by-project basis – and as a result would usually end up paying more in taxes than they ought.  This combines to significantly disadvantage the firms, especially those who do not have the resources of the large multi-national players.
