Elizabeth G.

We’ve been working with the team at Vivid Accountants for over three years now, and they’ve been an invaluable part of running our construction business. They understand the unique challenges of the trade industry and have helped us with restructuring our business to best suit our needs. They provide clear, practical advice that actually makes sense for a hands-on business like ours. It’s been easier to manage our tax obligations and plan ahead for growth since working with them. They’re always proactive and quick to respond. Knowing we have accountants who stay on top of deadlines and regulations gives us peace of mind and confidence in the future of our business.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Vivid!

As a medical professional, I value accuracy, efficiency, and trust — and Vivid delivers on all three. They understand the specific needs of doctors, provide clear advice, and handle everything promptly and professionally. We have multiple entities, being companies, trusts and our individual returns and investments, and it’s reassuring to know our finances and compliance are in expert hands.

Dr Andrew M.

Our company has had an amazing experience with the team at Vivid Accounting. We recently moved over after a decade with our previous firm, and the transition was seamless. After our first meeting, we walked away understanding more about our company’s finances than we had in the past ten years combined. They’ve also uncovered a bunch of areas we either weren’t aware of or didn’t fully grasp before.
Beyond their expertise, the entire Vivid team is warm, welcoming, and consistently goes the extra mile. Everyone on our executive team has been blown away by their above-and-beyond service. If you’re looking for accountants who make things easy to understand and genuinely care about your business, I can’t recommend Vivid Accounting highly enough
