Vibrant Accountancy continues to grow team
Vibrant Accountancy is continuing its growth by recruiting its fourth new team member in less than 12 months.
The accountancy and business advice company, based in Duffield Road, Derby, has welcomed Katie Hirst, who will take care of the company’s book-keeping, accounts and, predominantly, payroll.
She joins co-founders Ian Ball and Beverley Wakefield, Samantha Carter-Roe, Vibrant’s chief book-keeper, office co-ordinator Lynn McCabe and Emma Vicars, head of accounting.
Vibrant was founded in September 2019 by Ian and Beverley, who have both previously worked for Cooper Parry.
And despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, Vibrant has grown in its first 12 months, thanks to its focus on supporting small businesses.
Beverley said: “We pride ourselves on having a personality and being passionate about what we do.
“Ian and I are polar opposites; I’m the emotional one in our partnership while Ian is the one who does most of the number-crunching; he’s the data man. It gives our clients that balance and we find it works really well.
“We both have the same vision for Vibrant Accountancy and, after experiencing rapid growth since we formed just over a year ago, we’re excited to see what 2021 will bring.”
Speaking about the firm’s approach to its clients, Beverley said that she wanted the business to be seen as an “arm around the shoulder” for small businesses.
She said: “As business owners, Ian and I know how lonely it can be at times; we get it – we know where they are headed and the challenges they will face along the way.
“We want to help them and be seen as an extension of their team, as well as helping them with their finances.
“There has been so much jargon around this year and having someone who can help your business – grow with your business – and provide that additional support right now is so important.”
