Accountancy firm scoops national award

Vibrant Accountancy is celebrating after winning a national award, recognising it as the best new accountancy firm in the country.

The company, which is based in Duffield Road, was named New Firm of the Year at the Accounting Excellence Awards in London.

The business was co-founded by Bev Wakefield and Ian Ball in September, 2019.

Bev said: “We were delighted just to be shortlisted is such a strong category but to actually win the award is something else.

“Ian and I are so proud of the team and just how far Vibrant Accountancy has come since forming, just over two years ago.

“We set up Vibrant to shake up the ‘traditional’ view of the industry as stuffy, impenetrable and dominated by well-established, big-name players.

“We have grown substantially – we’re currently recruiting for an eighth member of the team – but our core values remain the same; to dream big, empower, celebrate and have fun. That’s something which we take great pride in.”
