Rhythm Reaction

How better bookkeeping and financial management helped Rhythm Reaction focus on what they do best.

Meet the Client

Rhythm Reaction CIC improves lives one beat at a time. Through therapeutic drumming sessions – including Drum-A-Long, Community Drum Circle and Drum-A-Cise – the organisation brings people of all ages and abilities together, building community spirit and giving participants a genuine sense of achievement.

Every workshop is tailored to the needs of those attending, making drumming genuinely accessible – and genuinely transformative – for people whose physical and mental wellbeing benefits from creative, social activity.

How Adding Value Helped

Rhythm Reaction joined Adding Value in the summer of 2025, on the recommendation of a fellow socially-trading organisation.

Adding Value now provides annual accounts, CIC and Corporation Tax returns and payroll support – taking the compliance burden off the team’s hands.

Xero implementation is currently under way, which will streamline financial admin and strengthen credit control once in place.

For founder Steve Shotton, the practical impact has been real: fewer worries about financial compliance and more headspace to focus on the work that matters:

Adding Value has made the financial side of running Rhythm Reaction so much easier. We can focus on what we do best – knowing the numbers are in safe hands.
