Accountants offer free support to those making an impact

Vibrant Accountancy is looking for companies, charities and not-for-profit organisations who are making a positive impact in Derby to put themselves forward for free mentoring and support.

Called the Community Growth programme, the initiative is being led by Bev Wakefield, owner of Vibrant.

It is open to those who can demonstrate the potential for significant impact in the city – and follows a successful pilot scheme with Bridge the Gap, an organisation that supports children’s mental health.

Bev said: “I am very excited about the Community Growth programme, and we have already had significant interest.

“It is open to businesses, not-for-profit organisations and charities that not only seek to elevate their own success but also aspire to make a significant and positive impact on the Derby community.

“This is our way of giving back; by helping others to achieve their goals and make a difference to our city.”

One deserving organisation will be carefully chosen by the Vibrant team next month.

That organisation will go on to receive tailored business support that includes strategic planning sessions, cash flow forecasting, mentoring and regular profit and cash flow improvement meetings.

Bev said: “The sessions will be tailored for the business, focussing on their specific pain points and challenges, and helping with opportunities from managing cash flow, profit improvements and fine tuning their personal and business goals.

“Vibrant Accountancy’s mission statement is to make an impact, and that’s what we hope we can do with the Community Growth programme.”

Jennifer Wyman, founder and creative director at Bridge the Gap, said: “Vibrant Accountancy has played a crucial role in not just managing our finances, but truly understanding our mission to support child mental health.

“Their team has gone above and beyond, seamlessly integrating into our vision and becoming an integral part of our success story.”

The deadline for applications is Friday 26 January. For more information and to apply visit http://www.vibrantaccountancy.co.uk .
