A Decade of Impact: Celebrating Vital Addition’s 10 Years of Growth and Partnership

Vital Addition

December 18, 2024

A decade ago, Vital Addition set out to revolutionise the way businesses approach financial management. Our mission was simple: to provide SMEs—regardless of size or stage—with access to a dedicated financial team that covers all aspects of accountancy and financial management, without the burden of in-house overhead. 

During that time, Vital Addition has grown from a tax service to a full-spectrum financial services firm. Our expert team, with diverse industry backgrounds, delivers tailored solutions across fintech, IoT, SaaS, eCommerce, and more, has cemented our reputation as a trusted partner for entrepreneurs and SMEs nationwide.

We’ve proudly stayed true to our client-first philosophy. We are all about adding value to the business, and partnership for whatever our clients need; that is delivering personalised financial solutions tailored to the unique challenges and goals of each business. 

Here we are at 10 years, and we are proud to celebrate this milestone alongside the incredible clients who have been part of our journey, and reflect on the hundreds of businesses we’ve helped and the thriving community we’ve built along the way.

Success Stories that Speak Volumes

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with exceptional businesses to help them realise their full potential with the support of our outsourced financial teams. 

One notable success story is our partnership with Mint, a leader in sustainable metal refining. Seeking to strengthen their financial infrastructure, Mint collaborated with Vital Addition to enhance reporting, compliance, and strategic advisory services. This support enabled Mint to focus on its core mission of creating a sustainable future through innovative practices, leading to significant milestones. 

In June 2024, Mint was recognised among the top 100 technology startups in the Indo-Pacific Climate Tech 100, underscoring its commitment to clean technology. Furthering its expansion, Mint secured a site in Longview, Texas, in December 2024 for its first U.S. e-waste biotechnology facility, aiming to commence operations by late 2025. 

Another memorable partnership was with New Zealand-based fashion brand Maggie Marilyn. As they expanded into the Australian market in Sydney in August 2022, Vital Addition played a pivotal role in navigating tax compliance and offering valuable financial insights. With our guidance, the brand transitioned smoothly, solidifying its presence in a new market and strengthening their global footprint. 

Earlier this year, the brands founder, Maggie Hewitt was listed in Forbes’ Asia’s 30 Under 30 list, and has said they are looking to focus on their growth in Australia beyond their Sydney, Paddington Home store. 

Voices of Appreciation

Our clients continue to be our greatest advocates. Over the years, their success stories have become the heart of everything we do, and their trust in us fuels our passion for financial excellence. 

Former CEO of Hey You and current CEO of Swaap, Uzair Moosa, reflected on the invaluable support Vital Addition provided during one of the most challenging periods for Hey You—the COVID pandemic. “Vital Addition has been immensely supportive, acting as our business partner, and guiding us with their tremendous experience. The team has been pivotal in helping us navigate through the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.”

This dedication to partnership and adaptability has also resonated with long-term clients like Aulay Macaulay, former CEO and Founder of Ento (acquired by Humanforce in 2022) and Founder of Bearmore. Aulay highlights the seamless integration of Vital Addition’s services into Ento’s operations.

“The VA team [did] a fantastic job in being the financial support (reporting, tax, advisory) for Ento… I think the fact the company has managed to go for so long…without a dedicated in-house finance function speaks to the very effective outsourced CFO service you have provided.”

For Andrew Moore, CEO of Spaceship, Vital Addition’s involvement has been a cornerstone of his company’s journey from the very beginning through to their recent acquisition by eToro.

“They continue to play a big part in our finance function…Whether it be access to an experienced finance team, assistance with tax and reporting obligations, or needing an outsourced CFO, Vital Addition has always been there to help us manage our exponential growth and the challenges that brings.”

A Commitment to Evolution and Excellence

The strength of Vital Addition lies in our ability to evolve alongside our clients. By offering outsourced finance team services, tax advisory, reporting, and compliance support—with deep industry expertise and a forward-thinking mindset—we enable our clients to foster agility for growth, overcome challenges, and build for long-term success.
