Accountancy firm hungry for growth with new hire
An award-winning baker who has spent the last four years building up her small business has joined a Derby accountancy firm with the aim of “helping others achieve their business dreams”.
Rose McCarthy is the latest recruit at Vibrant Accountancy. She joins as bookkeeper and says that the “caring ethos” at the Lodge Lane-based company is what attracted her to the role.
“Vibrant Accountancy are passionate about what they do and have a great, caring ethos,” said McCarthy, who did bookkeeping for her own business – Poses Pantry – before joining Vibrant.
“I thoroughly enjoy having my own business but I wanted a career where there is scope for progress. I also wanted to be a part of a business who are helping others to achieve their business dreams.”
McCarthy, who is being tutored by her partner Robert Dalton – a chartered accountant – is currently studying for her AAT exam and, in her spare time, she will continue to run Poses Pantry from her kitchen.
“I did an artisan bakery course five years ago that saw me travel all over the UK learning the tricks of the trade,” she said.
“I was awarded top baker and, after completing the course, I decided to set up my own micro-bakery making and selling brownies, cakes and sour dough.
“I love treating people and baking fills me with joy. Of course I’ve made the Vibrant team triple chocolate brownies, and they were a hit.”
Vibrant owner Bev Wakefield said: “We have grand plans for Vibrant Accountancy in 2023, including a leadership programme for entrepreneurial business owners called Lean On Vibrant.
“We’ll continue to offer annual budgeting, cashflow forecasting, company accounts, tax returns and bookkeeping – everything that you associate with an accountancy firm – but will also expand our business coaching and growth strategy services.
“We are excited about the future and Rose will play a huge part of that. She complements the Vibrant team perfectly.”
