Andrews & Summers, Chartered Certified Accountants.

We are a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants and Registered Auditors practising from Rushden in Northamptonshire, Kempston near Bedford and Peterborough in Cambridgeshire..

Currently we have the pleasure of representing clients throughout the UK and from abroad, with turnovers ranging from a few hundred pounds a year to over twenty million pounds per annum.

We are authorised by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants to carry out audit work in the UK and the Republic of Eire.

The majority of Accountants spent the same number of years as our partners in gaining their qualification and then went straight into public practice as accountants advising others on how to run their businesses. This is like a lifelong tee-totaller advising an alcoholic on the dangers of drinking!

We are fortunate in that both of our partners have had many years direct involvement in industry both as executive and non-executive directors, over a variety of industries, as well as having been in practice. This gives us a VERY valuable insight into YOUR needs and the needs of YOUR business rather than some theoretical outlook.

Using the services of an accountant as a historical recorder of facts and to carry out statutory compliance is an expensive (but necessary) luxury if that is all you get out of the relationship. We like to get involved with your business at the planning stage so as to help you with the decision making and implementation processes and to try to ensure that you maximise the value of your business.

To most businesses, bound as they are by 'red tape', their major requirement from their external accountant is to ensure that 'compliance work' such as audit, company law and tax compliance are dealt with within the time limits.

In common with the vast majority of accountants these are our aims for you, and we seek to achieve this in a seamless and, for both of us, a painless manner.

By preference we would like to work on your books on your own premises as, by doing this, not only are we causing you the minimum of disruption but we are also nearer to you for if and when any queries arise.

If, on the other hand, it is your preference, we are happy to work on your projects in our own offices.
