Book a 30-minute initial review →Everything we do runs on your existing Xero or Sage, which means location matters less than it used to. What it still affects is whether we can sit across a table when something needs talking through properly — a first meeting, a difficult year end, a decision that shouldn't happen over email.
The towns below are the ones we're set up to serve on that basis. If you're outside them but within reasonable reach, the answer is usually still yes; ask.

I'm Peter Edwards. CIMA-qualified Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA CGMA) with twenty-five 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.
Bookkeeping, VAT, management accounts, statutory accounts and Corporation Tax for small companies are all handled here. Personal Self Assessment and specialist tax work are referred to a firm that does that properly.
Seven questions you can answer from memory — no logins, no exports, nothing to download. You get an honest verdict on whether your figures can be relied on before we ask you for anything.
Or book a 30-minute review and we'll talk it through.
