General accounting packages leave the housing parts to spreadsheets. ActiveF starts with them.

Component accounting

Each home is held as the parts it is made of. Roofs, kitchens, bathrooms and boilers carry their own cost, useful life and depreciation, set up to match the components in your housing system.

  • Automatic depreciation and amortisation
  • Aligned to your HMS of choice
  • Legislative compliance built in

CIS and reverse charge

Contractor invoices are checked against each subcontractor's verified status. The deduction is worked out on labour only, and your monthly CIS submission is ready when you are.

  • CIS validation on every invoice
  • RCT calculations and submissions
  • Full audit trail for tax computations
