A few years ago, we had the opportunity to articulate and define a set of Viridity values.
The primary goal was to ensure these values were not vague, feel-good statements that would go ignored. Instead, they were intended to function as guiding principles for organisational decision-making. In times of uncertainty, these values offer clear direction for the team, helping them make informed choices.
Collectively we examined them, and identified five values that have subsequently served to underpin our approach to work, our clients, each other and our business partners ever since.
Our Values
Professional
We are knowledgeable, respectful and friendly. We take great pride in providing quality and customised service and support.
People Centric
Our team, clients and partners are at the heart of all we do. Collaborating with them to understand their individual needs and quirks allows us to deliver true value. This really makes our day!
Innovative
We'll investigate all available options and move mountains to find the best people and technology solution for both our client's and our own businesses.
Authentic
We do what we say we will, consistently and transparently. We have our client's and each other's back!
Making a Difference
We all live in this world together and we are committed to contributing to it and doing our bit, not just at work but out in our community too.
Professional
We are knowledgeable, respectful and friendly.
Each member of the Viridity team dedicates numerous hours every year to complete CPA or CA exams, fulfil CPD (Continuing Professional Development) requirements, attend industry events like Xerocon, and participate in other relevant training. This commitment ensures they possess the necessary skills to provide exceptional services to our clients.
Moreover, every client is assigned a dedicated point of contact, with additional support from at least one backup team member to ensure continuity of service. This approach allows us to engage with our clients personally, providing tailored and responsive support.
People Centric
Our team, clients and partners are at the heart of everything we do.
Our primary objective is to consistently prioritise the needs of both our clients and our team members, always striving to “do the right thing”. We achieve this not only through our meticulous processes and attention to detail but, above all, through our attitude.
The expectation is that each team member will demonstrate to our clients not only their expertise but also their genuine care for the client’s business in every interaction and task they undertake. This commitment reflects our dedication to building solid and client-focused relationships.
Innovative
We’ll investigate all available options to find the best solutions for our clients, and for our own use.
The pace of innovation in the last 15 years has been nothing short of remarkable, with many apps and technologies delivering immense benefits to thousands of small business clients. Viridity has been a trailblazer in this journey from the outset, being amongst the first practices in Australia to embrace platforms like Xero, Dext (formerly Receipt Bank), Unleashed, and numerous others.
By embracing innovation, we improve efficiency, accuracy, and client service, ultimately ensuring that clients receive not just historical financial reports but forward-looking insights that drive success in an increasingly dynamic world.
Authentic
We do what we say we will, consistently and transparently.
Our approach is rooted in authenticity and transparency when working with our clients. We collaborate closely to establish a shared understanding of expectations and present a fixed fee proposal that embodies trust and confidence. We have a strong track record of delivering on these commitments. However, should any challenges arise, we openly engage with our clients to address and resolve them promptly.
Furthermore, our commitment to authentic service goes beyond meeting client requests; it extends to the aspiration of providing “authentic client experiences.” We aim not only to deliver their requirements but to exceed their expectations.
Making a Difference
We are committed to contributing to our world “our bit” not just in our work, but in our community too.
Over the past few years, we have consistently dedicated our time and efforts to volunteer alongside one of our valued Not-For-Profit clients during their fundraising events. This collective endeavour allows us to contribute our time and skills to assist our client in raising funds for their noble cause, all while fostering team cohesion and unity. It’s truly a win-win situation.
Additionally, team members have independently volunteered in diverse activities, both during work hours and beyond, reflecting our commitment to making a positive impact in the community and demonstrating our dedication to corporate social responsibility.
