Our Service Pathway (Core Structure)
IPR Accounting delivers services through a four-stage pathway
About Us
Hi, I’m Shirley Xu — Accountant, Founder of IPR, System Thinker
I work with product-based and inventory-driven businesses that have outgrown reactive accounting and need clarity, control and confidence to move forward.
My background sits at the intersection of accounting, inventory systems and business decision-making.
Over the years, I’ve seen how misaligned systems, unreliable numbers and ad-hoc support create stress — even in profitable businesses.
That’s why I built IPR Accounting around a structured approach.
We fix foundations first, maintain long-term financial clarity, and provide decision support when it truly matters — using projects only when complexity requires it.
I don’t believe accounting should create pressure.
Done properly, it should reduce it.
A Melbourne-based accounting and financial advisory firm specialising in structured financial clarity for growing businesses.
Our team focuses on aligning accounting systems, inventory and decision-making — helping business owners move away from reactive reporting toward confident, pressure-free decisions.
We work through a clear service pathway rather than ad-hoc support, combining financial foundations, ongoing clarity and decision-focused advisory to support sustainable growth.
