Specialist Accountancy and Financial Services for the Property Sector
The expert property accountancy and advisory team at James Todd & Co supports clients nationwide, offering informed, up-to-date guidance and financial management for investors, developers, and other real estate professionals. Whether you need customised advice around tax management, evaluating funding or investment options, or creating a forward-thinking business strategy, we are here to help.
The Value of Financial and Advisory Support for Real Estate Professionals
Property investment and development businesses often face complex pressures and challenges, from evolving regulations and compliance obligations to managing market volatility and fluctuations. Our property team offers over 30 years of expertise, including specialist insights into niche markets within commercial real estate and retrofitting.
Many clients require support when selecting tax-efficient ownership structures to match their short-term projects and longer-term business plans. These structures can range from sole ownership to partnerships and LLPs, corporations, property groups, and Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs).
The size of your business and the value and extent of your portfolio will all influence the right financial processes you may need, alongside the rules and legislation that apply and the level of tax burdens you attract—including Stamp Duty, VAT, Capital Gains Tax, Income Tax, and Corporation Tax.
Our approach is to review the business as a whole, looking for opportunities to add value through greater efficiency, more robust financial controls and reporting, best practise regulatory compliance, and careful selection of financial structures for development projects and new investments.
Accountancy Services for UK-Wide Property Businesses and Investors
The accountancy and advisory services that are most relevant to your business as a property owner, investor, business or developer will always depend on any current areas of concern, the size and expansion plans of the organisation, and how market conditions are affecting your revenues, portfolio value and tax obligations.
Working with an expert accountancy team with in-depth knowledge of the UK property market ensures you can consult with us about trends or reforms to regulations, ensuring any decisions you make are informed and consistent with your objectives.
Many property sector clients are also interested in ways to create a stable, secure foundation to build from, recognising that variations in real estate values, interest rates and appetites for new developments can mean that immediate profitability is not always sustainable over the long-term.
As advisors to many property professionals, we collaborate with our clients on an ongoing basis, assisting with practical tasks such as management accounting and accounts preparation while gaining insights into ways businesses can continue moving forward and minimise their risks.
Our Accounting Expertise in the Property Space
As a long-established accountancy team with specialist knowledge of the property sector, we work with clients of all sizes, including national property corporations, developers and investors looking to optimise their portfolios and returns, and private owners who need to manage their assets and tax profile. Clients include:
-
- Property developers, consultants and investors
- Private and partnership landlords and portfolio owners
- Consultants such as structural engineers, surveyors and architects
- Property management agents
- Built to rent (BTR) organisations
- Niche businesses such as retrofitting and carbon reduction companies
The first step is to arrange a private consultation, where we can discuss your business performance and requirements or priorities and build a firm understanding of your business model and any issues or challenges you would like to resolve.
From there, we can recommend the right level of accounting assistance, from managing tax affairs and helping improve internal controls to assessing plans for new investments, developments, or expansions or advising on your regulatory compliance position.
Specialist Accounting Services for Property Sector Clients
Whether you require professional accountancy support, help with change management and transitions, business planning, accounts filing or assistance with areas such as funding and cash flow controls, we endeavour to be flexible, ensuring you can pick and choose the services that would be most beneficial.
Audit, Tax and Financial Reporting
Efficient, accurate and on-time reporting makes it far easier to manage your finances and access clear budgets, forecasts and cash flow projections, with regular quarterly reviews to analyse performance.
Analysing Financing Opportunities
Funding is often a core aspect for property businesses, which may need to compare and contrast varied products, structures, and guarantees to finance the cost of new developments, renovations, or modernisation projects.
Cash Flow Management
The nature of property investment and the duration of a typical development process means cash flow may be key – ensuring you have clarity over the value of your assets and can plan ahead for forthcoming liabilities.
Transaction-Specific Guidance
Tax obligations linked to the completion of a project, the sale of a property asset or portfolio or the end of a sale and leaseback transaction can be significant. We can manage your tax affairs and claim all relevant exemptions and reliefs.
