What we do is straightforward: keep the books current on Xero, review the VAT position before every return, and produce monthly management accounts that tell you what the business earned and what it cost to earn it.
Huntingdon's business base leans to engineering, specialist manufacturing, defence and aerospace supply chain, and the professional services that support them — often with project-based work, long lead times and work in progress sitting on the balance sheet. Getting WIP and accrued income right is the difference between a profit figure you can plan on and one you can't.
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.
Every bank account, credit card and payment platform reconciled monthly, so the position you see is the position you're in — not an estimate.
Transactions coded to the right nominal with the right VAT treatment. Consistent month to month, so your comparatives actually mean something.
Every return inspected before submission — reverse charge, partial exemption, disallowed input tax. Errors caught before HMRC finds them, not after.
Monthly P&L and balance sheet with plain-English commentary, so you can see how the business is really doing without decoding a spreadsheet.
Clean, reconciled books handed to your accountant at year end — which means a faster, cheaper and far less painful year-end process.
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.
Many Huntingdon businesses want the bookkeeping handled properly without changing accountant. That's available on its own — fixed monthly fee, your existing accountant kept in place for the year end.
The difference is who does it. Your ledger is handled by a qualified Chartered Management Accountant, so the person coding your transactions is the same person who can tell you what your margin is doing and why.
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.
