Why Southampton businesses choose Lumi

A straight-talking accountant for Southampton businesses

Southampton is the region's commercial engine: port and maritime, retail, two universities and a deep base of growing SMEs. We give the city's ambitious businesses senior, jargon-free advice without big-firm fees or big-firm distance.

Senior attention, Southampton-wide

You deal directly with a Chartered Accountant, not a call centre. We're just up the M3 in Winchester, and most Southampton clients run everything smoothly online via Xero.

Plain English, no jargon

We explain your finances in terms that make sense. No acronym-soup, no 40-page reports full of numbers you're supposed to nod along to. Just clear, honest advice on your business.

You speak to a Chartered Accountant

Every client works directly with a qualified ICAEW Chartered Accountant with over 7 years of experience. Someone who takes the time to understand your business and gives you consistent, informed support.

We know Southampton's business mix

From marine, logistics and import/export firms around the docks to retail, hospitality and student-economy businesses across the city, we understand the VAT, payroll and growth questions Southampton companies face.

Southampton business landscape

Accountancy for Southampton's growing businesses

Southampton is the largest economy on the south coast: a working port city with maritime and logistics at its core, two universities feeding a young workforce, and a diverse base of retail, hospitality, marine and professional firms. Businesses here are often bigger and faster-moving.

An import/export or marine business wrestling with VAT, a multi-site retailer or hospitality group, a growing company that needs proper management accounts: we scale our support to match, and keep the advice refreshingly clear.

Do you have a Southampton office?

We're based nearby in Winchester, at Abbey Mill, around 20 minutes up the M3. Most Southampton clients work with us online via Xero, with in-person meetings whenever useful.

Can you handle VAT for marine or import/export firms?

Yes. We deal with VAT, including overseas and import VAT considerations, for Southampton's trade, marine and logistics businesses.

Do you support larger Southampton companies?

We work with companies up to around £10m turnover, providing management accounts, payroll and strategic tax planning through our Complete package.
