The Power of Teamwork: Behind the Scenes at Forth Accountancy

At Forth Accountancy, we often talk about numbers, tax, and business growth. Behind every calculation and client win is something far more powerful: our team.

In a relatively short time, we’ve built more than just a group of colleagues, we’ve built a cohesive, supportive, and value-driven team that works together seamlessly. That hasn’t happened by accident. It’s been the result of shared values, trust, and something psychologists call the Forming–Storming–Norming–Performing model, a framework that perfectly describes our journey.

From Individuals to One Team: The Forming Stage

When we first came together as a team, like any new group, we were in what’s known as the Forming stage. Everyone was polite, eager, and learning how they fit into the business. There was excitement and also a natural uncertainty that comes with something new.

What made the difference? Right from the start, we had a shared understanding of what mattered: supporting each other, delivering great service to our clients, and living out the core values of Forth Accountancy our honesty, responsiveness, and care.

Finding Our Voice: The Storming Stage

Every team goes through the Storming phase, where people find their voices, share different opinions, and work through how to collaborate. But here’s the remarkable thing: our “storm” was more of a light drizzle.

Why? Because the foundation of respect and shared purpose was already in place. When challenges did arise, like adjusting to emergency workloads or unexpected client needs, the team didn’t falter. Instead, they stepped up, supported each other, and pulled together.

No drama. Just a quiet determination to make it work.

Hitting Our Stride: The Norming Stage

Before long, we’d established our rhythm. We understood each other’s strengths, we communicated effortlessly, and processes began to flow. Team members took initiative. They didn’t wait to be asked, they just did what needed to be done.

When urgent work came in, whether to support a struggling client or solve an unexpected issue, the team never hesitated. They’ve always had my back, no questions asked. That kind of loyalty and shared ownership is something special.

Performing: Stronger Together

Today, we’re firmly in the Performing stage. The team at Forth Accountancy isn’t just functioning, we’re thriving. We’ve been able to grow the business quickly, but sustainably, because the people behind it believe in what we’re building.

Our team don’t just do the work, they live the values. That’s what enables us to give the kind of responsive, caring service our clients talk about. That’s what allows us to say “yes” when others might say “not right now.”

More Than a Workplace

We believe that a strong business isn’t built on spreadsheets and deadlines alone — it’s built on trust, teamwork, and a shared commitment to something bigger. That’s exactly what we have at Forth Accountancy.

To our team: thank you. For showing up, stepping up, and standing together. You’re the reason we’re not just growing, we’re growing the right way.
