Celebrating 10 years of Bristol24/7 with ViFi – Bristol’s new virtual finance office for independent businesses

By Bristol24/7  Thursday Nov 14, 2024

ViFi is thrilled to introduce a revolutionary solution for businesses of all sizes seeking expert finance support without the cost and hassle of hiring an in-house team.

ViFi acts as a Virtual Finance Office (VFO), providing the complete, in-depth finance function every business needs, whether it’s a small café or a larger multi-site operation.

ViFi’s services go beyond traditional accountants or bookkeepers, covering everything from day-to-day bookkeeping and payroll to cash flow forecasting and detailed monthly reporting, as well as year-end accounts and tax.

Better Business
Better Business is an initiative launched by Bristol24/7 to help businesses thrive, whilst creating a positive impact on Bristol and the people who live here.

Designed to give businesses the benefits of an internal finance team without the burden of recruitment or high overheads, ViFi is a game-changer.

As part of its launch, ViFi is proud to be the official headline sponsor for B247’s 10th anniversary celebration on November 30.

Bristol24/7 has supported Bristol’s vibrant independent business scene for a decade, and this event is the perfect occasion to introduce ViFi to the remarkable F&B community in the city. Sharing B247’s commitment to championing Bristol’s independents, ViFi is here to help them succeed.

To celebrate the partnership with B247, ViFi is offering an exclusive, limited-time Business Health Check at no cost to B247 readers in the independent food and drink industry during November.

This unique offer provides businesses with a free, thorough review of their financial status, offering expert insights with no obligation to continue services.

The quick rundown as follows: simply email ViFi to get started, then invite them to access your Xero account with read-only permissions. Within seven working days, ViFi will deliver a detailed report, including a financial health assessment, growth recommendations, and practical advice for improving cash flow, profitability, and long-term financial stability.

Whether a small start-up or an established business, ViFi aims to provide the clarity and confidence of a fully-equipped finance team.

Confidentiality and data security are paramount. The Business Health Check is covered by a formal engagement letter to protect your data, and as a one-time, no-obligation service, it won’t affect any current accountants or bookkeepers you work with.

This is ViFi’s way of celebrating Bristol’s incredible independent businesses and empowering them to achieve their financial potential.

Whether just starting out or looking to expand, ViFi’s launch offer is designed to help businesses thrive. Join in celebrating B247’s 10 fantastic years of supporting local business, and let ViFi bring the financial insight and support needed, right when it’s needed.
