A calm, straightforward alternative to big accountancy firms

Clear, practical accounting support that doesn't slow you down or talk down to you.

When you work with me:

  • You have one single point of contact (me)
  • Your work is never passed to untrained or junior colleagues
  • You get clear answers, not vague reassurance
  • Things are done methodically, accurately, and on time

I deliberately keep my client list manageable so nothing slips through the cracks, including you.

About Me

Having spent the last 15 years working in industry including running my own businesses, I started training first in Bookkeeping with the ICB, before continuing my studies with AAT. I have also recently become part-qualified in CIMA management Accounting. I’m now a qualified and licensed bookkeeper and accountant and I work entirely with modern, cloud-based systems.

I'm also neurodivergent, and this strongly shapes how I work, in ways many clients find reassuring.

It means I naturally bring:

  • Strong attention to detail
  • A structured, methodical approach
  • Clear systems and processes
  • Direct, honest communication

I especially welcome neurodivergent clients and anyone who prefers:

  • Clear expectations
  • Communicating in your preferred method, email, text, phone calls etc
  • Predictable, calm communication
  • No jargon, no judgement, and no unnecessary small talk

If you've ever felt overwhelmed, confused, or talked down to by financial professionals, you're very welcome here.

Who I Work With

I specialise in working with:

  • Start-ups
  • Sole Traders
  • Limited Companies
  • Owner/Director operators

I'm a good fit if you:

  • Want things explained clearly and calmly
  • Like structure and knowing what's happening
  • Feel overwhelmed by accounts & HMRC compliance
  • Suspect your accounts could be better organised

No judgement. Messy starting points are extremely common, sorting them out is literally my job.

Finance Business Partnering

Business finance partnering means having someone in your corner who understands your business, helps you make informed decisions, and translates financial data into clear, practical actions. It's ongoing support, not one-off advice.

  • Regular check-ins to review cash flow and performance
  • Support with pricing, margins, and profitability
  • Forecasting so you can plan ahead, not just react
  • Help preparing for growth, funding, or hiring
  • A sounding board for business decisions
  • Clear explanations—no jargon, no judgement

Instead of only looking backwards, we help you look ahead. Business finance partnering focuses on understanding where your business is now—and where you want it to go—so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

How I Work

You don't need to be "good with numbers" to work with me, you just need to run your business.

I'll:

  • Tell you what matters (and what doesn't)
  • Explain things in plain English
  • Keep you compliant with HMRC
  • Help you feel more in control of your finances

If something doesn't make sense, I'll explain it properly. Repeating jargon more loudly is not part of the process.

Case study

I have known Vikki in a professional capacity for 5 years initially in the capacity of Commercial Accounts Manager for the property management company who manage my commercial property portfolio.

Vikki very quickly became someone who evidenced a high level of technical knowledge and excellent organisational abilities and when she formed VNB I had no hesitation in outsourcing my finance function to her.

I have ADHD and struggle with detail and management of tasks and deadlines. Vikki is someone I felt comfortable in sharing my challenges with and her approach and style of communication were, in that context, a breath of fresh air in terms of working together to manage all aspects efficiently in a stress-free manner. Vikki strikes the right balance of where to consult, when to prompt and when to just get on and do things.

I sometimes get frustrated with professionals where you ask a question and you get back generic options when that professional knows enough about you to give you a definitive answer. Vikki provides considered definitive advice along with the rationale and merits of the options that will work as well as pro-actively putting forward proposals triggered by budgets and legislative changes.

Vikki has full responsibility for all financial aspects of my 3 property companies, being responsible for managing budgets, all revenue and cost processing, VAT, payroll and ad hoc support and advice. Vikki holds a bank mandate to make payments.

Vikki manages the relationship with the property managers as well as liaising with my London based Accountants and Financial advisers. The end result is a highly efficient stress free low cost process that gets things done on time and optimises my finances. Vikki is also highly proficient in using finance tech which results in a very cost-effective monthly cost. I am paying for expertise, governance and oversight rather than on unnecessary man time which so often happens within an in-house finance function.

I would highly recommend VNB as an option for SMEs to have full service robust financial management and reporting at a sensible cost.
