There isn't a dedicated CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) scenario in Hey Monika right now — CIS-specific content is on the way. In the meantime, WP: Accounts Payable is the best current resource for building the purchase ledger skills that underpin most CIS work: verifying supplier details, posting purchase invoices and managing creditor balances. These are the same mechanics you'll apply to subcontractor invoices and CIS deductions when you encounter them in a construction-sector role.

Frequently asked questions
What makes CIS accounting different from standard purchase ledger work?
CIS adds a deduction layer — you withhold a percentage of the subcontractor's payment and pass it to HMRC. The purchase ledger mechanics are the same; the CIS-specific element is calculating and recording the deduction correctly.
Is there a PAYE or payroll element to CIS?
CIS deductions operate similarly to PAYE deductions in some ways — if your construction role involves subcontractor payroll as well as CIS, the PAYE-related content coming to Hey Monika (through The Deskless Phoenix) will also be relevant.
Will Hey Monika add dedicated CIS content? Yes — check heymonika.com/resource-hub/roadmap for the latest.
