A new accountancy practice has opened its doors in Hull’s Old Town with a promise to take a strategic approach which will help businesses focus on planning and growth.
Vicky Peat, founder of SmartView Accountants, aims to adopt the same policy for her own business. She said: “We have plans to build our own team gradually, subject to business activity.”
Vicky has built up more than 16 years’ experience with reputable firms in the local area. She qualified in 2017, is ACCA accredited, and worked her way up from trainee to manager before deciding to go on her own.
Working with a former colleague, Leah Sanderson, Vicky has opened an office in Castle Street which has already impressed clients and other visitors.
She said: “I know the area and I see this as the perfect location in the heart of the Old Town with a bright new space which everyone said just doesn’t look like an accountancy office.”
Services include statutory accounts, compliance filing, VAT, bookkeeping, management accounts and self-assessment. At the heart is a desire to be different.
Vicky said: “Over the years I built up a great network of contacts and clients which gave me the confidence to set up on my own, pursue my own values and provide clients with a more strategic service.
“I have systemised and automated to make the business more efficient and provide value for money across all our services. Communication is massive. I want to be fresh, there for clients, available to communicate and collaborate, not just looking at figures.
“We are working across Yorkshire and focusing on communication, collaboration, business development, setting goals and really making a difference.”
