Professionally
Vicky and the B‑Compliant team deliver practical, first‑hand compliance expertise to financial advice firms across the UK, helping them operate with clarity, structure and confidence. Founded in 2018 by Vicky Pearce, the firm was created as a genuine alternative to generic, one‑size‑fits‑all compliance models. Rooted in Manchester and inspired by its worker‑bee ethos, B‑Compliant embodies diligence, collaboration and real‑world experience.
Working closely with firms nationwide, the team offers personable, judgement‑based support that strengthens internal processes and ensures advisers can focus on delivering high‑quality, client‑centred financial planning. Their blend of technical expertise and hands‑on guidance helps firms embed strong, reliable compliance foundations — the kind that naturally underpin better long‑term outcomes for the people they serve.
Personally
Vicky has two cocker spaniels Tigs & Lily who are her priority now her children are grown and have left home, whenever it’s possible they come to the office. Vicky is the membership officer for the PFS Manchester region committee, and gets actively involved with many of the working groups within the professional body the APCC.
Outside of work Vicky enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and loves to travel, ticking a new place off the bucket list each year.
In the UK, Vicky enjoys walking, trying to hunt out a new local walk every weekend to ensure the spaniels have new places to explore.
