Rewriting the Rules of Finance for Bristol’s Hospitality Sector

By Advertising Feature  Monday Jun 2, 2025

ViFi UK Virtual Finance Team
Running a food and drink business in Bristol is a thrill – but full of financial complexity. That’s where things can get messy. Supplier payments, stock costs, payroll, compliance deadlines – it all adds up, and fast.

That’s why we created ViFi UK Virtual Finance Team, purpose-built for the pace and pressure of Bristol’s hospitality sector.

We saw too many brilliant local businesses weighed down by clunky accounting systems, unreliable support, or the high cost of in-house teams. ViFi was designed to change that. Our goal? To give growing food and drink brands access to smart, flexible, and human financial support that works in the real world.

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.

How ViFi Does Things Differently
ViFi doesn’t just tick boxes and file returns. We become part of your team, handling everything from bookkeeping, payroll, and VAT to management reporting and forward-looking financial planning. All delivered by our UK-based team, powered by cloud tools like Xero, and tailored to your growth stage.

Whether you’re scaling up, building stability, or just want a clearer view of your numbers, ViFi gives you the tools and support to move with confidence – without the overheads of an in-house finance team.

  • Smarter Spending
    Our clients often save up to 50% compared to hiring internal finance staff – while gaining broader expertise and deeper insight.
  • Industry-Specific Support
    You’ll work with people who understand the margins, seasonality, and pressures of food and drink. No outsourcing. No generic advice.
  • Made to Scale
    Need help weekly or monthly? Just payroll or the full works? Whether you’re a growing start-up or a well-established business, our support scales with you. Only pay for what you need.
  • Live Data, Clear Decisions
    We use smart cloud accounting tools to give you real-time financial reporting, accessible anywhere – with clear, jargon-free reporting.

Build Your Dream Finance Team
With Virtual Finance Team, you don’t just choose services – you build your very own outsourced finance department. Select the exact mix of roles you need, from bookkeepers to payroll specialists to strategic CFO advisors, all 100% based in the UK. Scale your team up or down as needed, and swap or add specialists as your business evolves.
