What most Rushden businesses actually need

Bookkeeping and management accounts for Rushden businesses

Most Rushden businesses we speak to have the same problem: the books are done, but nobody is reading them. VAT gets filed, the year-end gets prepared, and in between the owner is running on gut feel and the bank balance.

We keep the ledger accurate month to month and give you management accounts you can actually use — what you earned, what it cost, and what's coming.

Retail, leisure and trade businesses around Rushden Lakes and the town centre tend to carry a lot of card, cash and platform income, and that mix is exactly where reconciliation slips.

What we handle

Your books, kept properly, every month

Everything below is included in the monthly fee. Every issue we raise is tied to a published accounting standard (FRS 102, FRS 105) or an HMRC rule — nothing is a black box.

Reconciliation

Bank and card reconciliations

Every bank account, credit card and payment platform reconciled monthly, so the position you see is the position you're in — not an estimate.

Coding

Correct transaction coding

Transactions coded to the right nominal with the right VAT treatment. Consistent month to month, so your comparatives actually mean something.

VAT

VAT reviewed before filing

Every return inspected before submission — reverse charge, partial exemption, disallowed input tax. Errors caught before HMRC finds them, not after.

Reporting

Management accounts

Monthly P&L and balance sheet with plain-English commentary, so you can see how the business is really doing without decoding a spreadsheet.

Year end

Xero kept year-end ready

Clean, reconciled books handed to your accountant at year end — which means a faster, cheaper and far less painful year-end process.

Assurance

Issues flagged as they arise

If something doesn't look right — margin moving, a control account drifting, a director's loan building — you hear about it that month, not next March.

Runs on your existing Xero. Nothing for you to set up or learn. If you're not on Xero yet, we'll move you across as part of onboarding.

Why IPP

A regulated practice, run by one person who's accountable

I'm Peter Edwards. CIMA-qualified Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA CGMA) with twenty years of senior finance experience across pharmaceutical distribution, manufacturing, and professional services.

I keep my client list deliberately small so every engagement gets proper senior attention. No junior delegation. No offshored bookkeeping. No black-box software making decisions on your behalf.

Tax matters that fall outside CIMA's remit — Corporation Tax returns and personal Self Assessment — are referred out to a UK Chartered Accountancy firm we work with.
