Viv Parry is awesome! Love working with her – her experience around finance is invaluable and has helped us re-structure our accounting procedures. Her positive but challenging outlook is really helping us on our growth trajectory. I would have no hesitation in recommending Viv who has a wealth of experience.
Viv has worked with us since the start of 2019.
She guided us through the finance process improvements, a team restructure, system migrations and refinance associated with our first acquisition which up to completion more than doubled the size of our core business.
Viv is friendly, approachable and easy to work with. She also comes with a wealth of business experience and finance expertise.
I am confident that any rapidly growing SME, like ourselves, would benefit massively from having Viv on their team.
We have worked with Viv for 9 months now and she’s the first person we’ve ‘let in’. This is because she fits our ethos…straight talking, down to earth and gets sh*t done! From OKRs to kicking our arses on all things finance she’s been a welcome addition to our team and have helped us move the business in the right direction. Thanks Viv, see you soon.
I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Viv on a number of projects. She has great knowledge of finance and growth and her no nonsense approach is refreshing. Viv is a delight to be in company with and her humour and wit makes working with her easy and delightful.
Viv has such a great spirit and zest for all things business and more importantly, people. She came to speak at my work on International Women’s Day and everyone came away feeling energised and ready for action. I think if you’re ever in need of new ideas or a fresh perspective on any business issue – Viv has to be your first port of call.
You want a “Yes” lady? Don’t ask Viv. You want the status quo? Don’t ask Viv. You don’t like disruption? Don’t ask Viv. You do need shaking up? Ask Viv. You need to start seeing things differently? Ask Viv. You require a financially astute perspective? Ask Viv. Decide what you want, but ask her anyway.
Viv is one of those very rare people in finance that inspires others and indelibly leaves something meaningful with every person she works with. Viv is everything you want and need in a financial director and competent advisor. You won’t find another FD like Viv because there isn’t one. Having known Viv for about 5 years I’ve seen her deliver genuinely productive processes and perspectives in a kind way to those that need to change their thinking. She will effortlessly and positively redevelop your financial model akin to how a master painter effortlessly paints a beautiful landscape. Take the headache, convoluted financial jargon and uncertainty out of your business, hire Viv. In her words, ‘Just do cool shit’.
VIv is a rare breed of human. She combines strong emotional intelligence with directness and practicality. Her experience across many areas of business and entrepreneurship make her input invaluable. Capital Pilot is fortunate to have her as Chair and CFO.
Viv volunteered to join our Museum board a little over two years ago – I had been looking for a new trustee with a financial background and broad business experience to help our organisation continue its transformation following a £1.5m Heritage Lottery Grant funded move and remodel.
Viv is a great addition to the board. She brings her financial and business experience to bear powerfully, and guided the staff team through a transformation of our financial management. As importantly Viv is always on the lookout for a way to innovate, coupled to great common sense, she regularly brings forward new ideas for implementation. Perhaps most importantly for a volunteer and charitable enterprise she brims with energy and a positive optimistic attitude. Right now during Covid 19 lockdown, as we guide the museum through what must be the most difficult of times, that attitude is invaluable. I’m delighted that Viv agreed to join us, she makes a real difference.
