Introducing CIS Manager

There are around one million subcontractors working in the UK construction industry — and the number keeps growing.

They’re paid under a very specific set of rules: the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS). But if you’re managing these payments — whether as a contractor, a bookkeeper, or an accountant — your software options have been painfully limited.

There are around one million subcontractors working in the UK construction industry — and the number keeps growing.

They’re paid under a very specific set of rules: the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS).

But if you’re managing these payments — whether as a contractor, a bookkeeper, or an accountant — your software options have been painfully limited.

You’re often stuck using payroll software where 95% of the features are completely irrelevant to what you actually need.

Clunky processes. Manual workarounds. Wasted time.

That changes today.

After a number of months in “stealth mode”, we’re excited to announce the launch of CIS Manager — a platform built specifically for the needs of contractors and subcontractors working under CIS.


Built for Contractors

If you’re a contractor, CIS Manager helps you take control of CIS compliance without the usual hassle.

  • Onboard and Verify Subcontractors with Ease
    Send invitations, collect details, and verify subcontractors with HMRC — all from one place.
  • Simple Monthly CIS Returns
    File your CIS300 returns quickly and easily. We guide you through the process to make sure everything is accurate and compliant.
  • Automatic Payment & Deduction Statements
    Legally, you must give subcontractors a Payment & Deduction Statement each month. CIS Manager handles it for you — automatically generating and distributing the statements without you lifting a finger.
  • Centralised Subcontractor Management
    Track subcontractor payments, statuses, verifications, and compliance requirements in one streamlined dashboard.

Made for Subcontractors

Subcontractors often get left behind by traditional CIS tools. CIS Manager changes that.

  • Easily get Verified
    If your’e paying 30% tax, you shouldn’t be.
    We guide you through the process to reduce your withheld CIS tax.
  • Fast, Simple Invoicing
    Create and submit invoices directly to your contractor, with all the necessary CIS deductions automatically applied.
  • Seamless Payment Tracking
    Keep track of payments and deductions so you know exactly what you’ve been paid, what’s been withheld, and how to get it back.
  • Pre-Collected Tax Data
    We collate your CIS deductions behind the scenes, making it easier and cheaper to reclaim any overpaid tax when the time comes.

Why CIS Manager?

Because managing CIS shouldn’t feel like a compromise.
It shouldn’t be a tiny feature buried inside a massive payroll system.
And it definitely shouldn’t waste your time with irrelevant tools.

CIS Manager is built exclusively for the Construction Industry Scheme —
no distractions, no bloated software, no compromises.
