Different businesses create different financial pressures — the accounting should reflect how each one actually operates.
Britvex supports UK companies, founders and business owners across a range of sectors. The core disciplines stay connected — bookkeeping, accounts, tax, payroll, compliance and reporting — but the workflow changes with the business model, transaction cycle, people, assets and regulatory pressure.
The same accounts can mean something very different in different businesses.
A landlord needs property-level records. A construction company needs project margin and CIS control. An e-commerce business needs platform reconciliation. A professional firm needs visibility over people, clients and cash.
Start with how your business operates — not with an accounting label.
Each sector page below explains the accounting, tax and reporting pressures that commonly matter most, then connects them to the relevant Britvex services.

Britvex does not force every client into the same workflow. The accounting process is built around the real operating pressure: people, property, projects, platforms, recurring clients or statutory company obligations.
Understand the business first. Then design the finance cycle.
The goal is not to add sector jargon to a generic accounting package. It is to make the records, compliance and reporting fit the business.
Map the commercial model.
How does the business earn, pay, employ, buy, deliver and collect cash?
Build the accounting around the transaction flow.
Set up the ledger, systems, coding and document process around the way activity actually occurs.
Connect the recurring obligations.
Payroll, VAT, CIS, annual accounts, tax and company filings are tracked from the same core record.
Turn records into useful management information.
Use cash flow, margins and management reporting where the business needs more than statutory compliance.
Start with the operating model instead.
Britvex can still support businesses outside the named sectors where the required accounting, tax and compliance work is within scope. The first question is what the business does and which obligations follow from it.
Employees, payroll and recurring service delivery
Start with payroll, bookkeeping, debtor timing, cash flow and management reporting.
High volumes, platforms or multiple payment channels
Start with cloud accounting, reconciliations, VAT, controls and reliable transaction data.
Property, stock, equipment or project-based delivery
Start with asset or project records, cash timing, tax treatment and management visibility.
Sector knowledge works best when the core accounting is connected.
The sector determines the workflow. The core services provide the accounting, tax, payroll, compliance and reporting structure behind it.
Accountancy
Bookkeeping, annual accounts, management reporting and cloud accounting.
Accountancy →Tax
Corporation Tax, VAT, Self Assessment, property tax and Capital Gains Tax.
Tax Services →Payroll
PAYE payroll and recurring employer reporting connected to the accounting record.
Payroll →Business Services
Company formation, company compliance, confirmation statements and advisory.
Business Services →Management Reporting

Management Accounts →Cash Flow
Forward-looking cash visibility around tax, payroll, stock, projects and growth.
Cash Flow →Sector-specific does not mean disconnected.
The strongest finance process keeps bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, accounts, tax and reporting connected. The sector changes what needs emphasis — not the need for one reliable financial record.
A UK accounting relationship with visible standards.
Britvex connects onboarding, records, accounting work and client communication through a UK practice and secure client portal.
Choosing the right Britvex route.
The sector page is a starting point. The exact service scope depends on the business structure, tax position, systems and reporting needs.
Does Britvex only work with the sectors shown here?
No. These are the main sector routes on the website. Britvex can support other UK businesses where the accounting, tax and compliance work is within scope.
Why does Britvex separate industries if the accounting rules are similar?
Core accounting principles are shared, but the transaction flow and commercial risks differ. Property, construction, e-commerce and professional services all create different record-keeping, tax and management-reporting pressures.
Can I use more than one Britvex service?
Yes. Services can be scoped separately or coordinated. Many clients combine bookkeeping with annual accounts, tax, payroll, VAT or management reporting.
What if my business fits more than one sector?
That is common. Britvex can structure the work around the actual activities of the business rather than forcing it into a single website category.
Do sector pages replace tax or accounting advice?
No. They explain common operating and accounting issues. The correct tax or accounting treatment depends on the detailed facts of the business.
Where should I start if I am not sure which sector applies?
Start with the Contact page and explain how the business earns revenue, how it pays people or suppliers, and which tax or compliance obligations already apply. Britvex can route the enquiry from there.
Choose the sector that looks most like your business — or start with the problem you need to solve.
Britvex can then connect the relevant bookkeeping, accounts, tax, payroll, compliance and reporting work into one coordinated finance relationship.
