Division detail

Data clean-up and analysis

Most small organisations hold their information across incompatible systems: a finance package, a dozen spreadsheets, files left by previous staff, PDFs nobody can use. Making sense of it takes days that nobody has — so it doesn't get done, and decisions get made on partial information.

We take the data as it is. No need to tidy it up first.

Clean-up. Consolidating multiple sources, removing duplicates, standardising formats and correcting inconsistencies.

Reconciliation. Cross-checking figures between systems and showing you exactly where and why they disagree.

Analysis. Trends over time, variance against budget, cost breakdowns, income patterns, and comparison against similar organisations.

Reporting. A written report and clear charts for your committee, board or governors — with commentary explaining what the numbers mean, not just what they are.

Handover. You keep the clean dataset and a template you can maintain yourself.

The company

Seventy years in Huntingdonshire

Edwards Bros (Spaldwick) Ltd was incorporated in 1955 and has remained in the same family ever since. For most of that time the business was the land: farming, then letting the farmland to a neighbouring farming business, alongside commercial buildings and, more recently, renewable generation on the estate.

The company today is more than its land. Its directors have built trading divisions around their own professional qualifications and experience — commercial finance broking, information security certification, data analysis, and publishing — serving small businesses, charities and public bodies across Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and further afield.

The estate remains, still working, still held debt-free. But it is now one part of a company that trades.
