What Your Construction Clients Are Telling You

When clients say:

I'm not getting paid (the most common complaint)
They're holding my money (referring to retention or disputed amounts)
I can't pay my subbies (indicating cash flow problems affecting the payment chain)
Should I file a payment claim under SOPA?

The Reality for NSW Accountants

Research shows accountants are struggling with:

  • "Handling increased client stress and anxiety about business viability" during payment disputes
  • "Dealing with more frequent client calls and complaints about payment delays"
  • "Feeling helpless during client cash flow crises" when clients need immediate solutions
  • "Missing critical deadlines that could protect client interests" due to SOPA knowledge gaps

SOPA requirements are complex and outside most accountants' expertise - which makes perfect sense, as it's specialised construction law, not accounting. When accountants do refer clients for payment issues, it's typically to generic commercial lawyers charging $400-600/hour who don't specialise in construction payment law.

There's a better way to help your construction clients while positioning yourself as the expert they need.
