It’s that time of year, when Business Link Magazine invites the region’s business leaders to offer up their predictions for the year ahead.
It has become something of a tradition, given that we’ve been doing this now for over 30 years.
Here we speak to Bev Wakefield, owner of Vibrant Accountancy.
Technology holds an important role in any business and, in 2023, it will become vital across all organisations and industries.
Vibrant Accountancy is a very tech-driven firm. Our clients are on cloud accounting software and we look at apps that we can use to help drive the slickness of their finance function even further. We also use a lot of tech to support us as a business, and I believe that many more businesses will be turning to innovative tech in the new year, too.
Human contact, though, will always be needed; people like to see a friendly face and feel supported.
We have all been through the mill over the last couple of years and a good support network as a business owner is essential.
Ask for help, talk to people who have been there before and remember why you set up in the first place. Ensure that you keep this in mind and do not let your business become a beast and take over!
