The practice

Expert accountants in Southampton — trusted local chartered accountants

Mandair & Co has been based on Lodge Road in central Southampton since 1999. From our SO14 office, just a few minutes from Southampton Central station, our chartered accountants serve businesses and individuals across the city — from sole traders in Shirley and Portswood, to limited companies operating around the docks, to landlords managing student-let portfolios near the university.

As Southampton's economy spans marine and port-related businesses, hospitality along the waterfront, retail in the city centre, and a growing tech and e-commerce scene, our team tailors accounting support to each sector. Whether you're a marine engineering firm dealing with import VAT, a Bedford Place restaurant managing payments and payroll, or a Portswood landlord with multiple HMOs needing self-assessment tax returns and bookkeeping support, we understand the financial realities of operating in Southampton. From start-up advice for new ventures to strategic tax planning for established firms, we're here for every stage.

What our clients say

Google Reviews from Google

Richard, Tawny, Ayesha and the team have looked after our company and personal accounts for around the last 20 years. Richard is very approachable and will always help, as does Tawny. Their pricing is reasonable and, although possibly not the cheapest, is well worth the cost for the services they provide. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mandair & Co.

LPLynnette PackClient of 20 years

I can't recommend Mandair & Co enough! They've been my absolute guardian angels since becoming self employed and I love working with them. Amazing value for money, very responsive with a can-do attitude, always putting their clients first! 100% recommended.

ATAgata TomaszewskaSelf-employed

Amri and the team have made my first 2 years of self-employment super easy and stress free! They are great at explaining things I'm not sure about, they are quick at responding to emails and always provide me with great advice on how to be more efficient with books etc. I would highly recommend to anyone, top quality service!

DGDaniel GlassClient of 10+ years

We have used Mandair & Co as our accountants for over 10 years. We did try another company who promised the earth for a short while, but soon found that we were paying twice the price for no extra value and returned to Richard and his team.
