WHO WE ARE...
Small Business Chartered Accountants, based in Southampton, Hampshire
Southampton Accountants, The Accounting Studio are owned and run by Chartered Accountant, Gareth Atkinson:
My name is Gareth Atkinson, and I run a firm of trusted Chartered Accountants for small and medium sized business based in Southampton, Hampshire. The Accounting Studio was created to serve clients who need an accountant in Southampton, and the surrounding areas of Eastleigh, Winchester, Fareham and Romsey. Most of our clients are small businesses, contractors and freelancers looking for high quality advice delivered in an efficient, affordable way.
We are regulated by the prestigious ICAEW, and are accredited by most of the major cloud accounting software providers including Xero, Quickbooks and FreeAgent.
SOME KIND WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS…
I used this service with Gareth Atkinson as my accountant. I was particularly impressed with Gareth's introductory discussion ; totally informative and unrushed. He gave me a lot of information and confidence regarding the service and what I would need to do. This was followed with quite a lot of useful guidance in a document. Using the service was easy, and after getting used to doing some new things, took very little time. Gareth prepared my accounts very promptly after my financial year end and submitted them after my verification. Due to being offered a permanent role that really suited me, I no longer had a need for these services. The termination process was very professional and helpful, like the onboarding, and I would not hesitate to recommend the service. If I return to contracting, I would go straight back to Gareth and The Accounting Studion.

Gareth's work has been top notch and he is always happy to assist when I have hundreds of questions about my accounts (being in my first year of trading). Thanks again!

Honestly, when starting my first small business I felt anxious about having to find an affordable accountant. I received numerous quotes from different accountants that seemed extremely unreasonable and unrealistic for a business that was generating little profit - until I stumbled across Gareth at The Accounting Studio. Their fee was so reasonable and felt fair, and they also helped explained EVERYTHING about accounting and finance that I needed to know. I couldn't recommend them enough for all their help in ensuring that I don't have to ever worry again about accounting.

It is a pleasure to have Gareth Atkinson as the accountant for my company. All areas of the accounting service were handled efficiently and proffessionally. Gareth was always there to handle any queries I needed to ask. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new accountant.

Gareth at the Accounting Studio has been amazing to work with since setting up my first business. He has helped in so many different areas that I honestly felt so confused about. He really takes the time to explain each step and goes out of his way to support you and your business. He’s been very patient with me from the start even with my limited knowledge of accounting. His skills, expertise and patience is a massive asset and I would 100% recommend him. Thank you Gareth for your ongoing help!

Gareth is one of the most business-focused and financially-literate people that I have worked with. Gareth has an ability to understand the key issues and drivers for a range of business sizes, to evaluate and model comprehensively the potential financial impacts and identify an actionable plan to maximise opportunities. He has an uncanny ability to “simplify” sometimes complex business issues and to work closely and collaboratively within a business to help them deliver solutions that will genuinely improve business performance.

I have had the fortune of working with Gareth over a number of years at Denplan as well as over recent months in relation to my own company. Gareth's knowledge in relation to SME's is second to none. The advice he has given has been informative and takes into account the reality of running a business.
Throughout all discussions Gareth has always been extremely professional, friendly, approachable, helpful, supportive and has always explained the more difficult aspects of finance in a way that I was able to understand, so that I could make informed business decisions.
