Insight Professional Partners provides bookkeeping, VAT and management accounts to owner-managed businesses across Peterborough. Your books are kept by a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA CGMA) — not passed down to a junior, and not left to a rules engine. Fixed monthly fees, agreed before we start.

We keep the books current on Xero, inspect the VAT position before every return, and tell you what the numbers actually say while there's still time to do something about it.
The city's distribution, logistics and construction base makes for high transaction volumes and a lot of subcontractor and CIS complexity — the kind of ledger where small coding errors compound fast.
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.
Plenty of Peterborough businesses don't want a full accountancy relationship — they want someone reliable to keep the ledger straight and the VAT right. That's the core of what we do, and it's available on its own.
The difference is who does it. Bookkeeping here is done by a qualified Chartered Management Accountant, so the person coding your transactions is the same person who can tell you what your gross margin is doing and why. Year-end work and Corporation Tax stay with your accountant, or we can introduce you to one.
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.
Thirty minutes on a call. Free, no obligation. We talk about your business, what's not working in the books, and what you'd want handled.
Free. We look at the state of the ledger and tell you honestly what we'd do differently — whether you engage us or not.
If it's a fit, we go live on a fixed monthly fee and Direct Debit mandate. Clean books from the first month.
We work with businesses across Peterborough, Yaxley, Whittlesey, Market Deeping, Oundle and the surrounding Nene Valley — face to face where it's useful, and entirely remote on Xero where it isn't.
