FAQs
Why should I choose an accountant specifically based in Winchester or Hampshire?
Hiring a Winchester-based accountant like Lumi Accountancy Limited provides a distinct local advantage. It allows for consistent local engagement and face-to-face meetings, fostering a deeper understanding of your business and the specific economic landscape of the Hampshire area. That being said, if you’re not in the Winchester or Hampshire area but want to work with us regardless then we can facilitate virtual meetings or in person meetings depending on the senaerio.

We ensure Winchester directors take home a tax-efficient mix of salary and dividends while remaining fully compliant with HMRC regulations, helping you plan for both immediate stability and future growth.
Does Lumi Accountancy Limited offer payroll services?

We handle the entire process other than paying employees —including pension contribution calculations and Real-Time Information (RTI) submissions to HMRC—ensuring your payroll is accurate, timely, and compliant.
Is Lumi Accountancy a member of any professional bodies?
Lumi Accountancy Limited is a Registered Member of the ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) under membership number C011009337. This accreditation guarantees that our Winchester office operates under the highest professional standards and ethical guidelines in the UK.

I’m not sure if I’m the right fit for Lumi. How can I find out?

If a specific task (such as a statutory audit) requires a different specialist, we will tap into our extensive industry network to put you in touch with the appropriate firm.
Who
we are
Most people find accounting a bit of a headache. Usually, that’s down to dense jargon and the feeling of being "just another number" in a database or just not having things explained.
Lumi is different. We keep focus on keeping our clients aware and centre of our focus. We provide the prompt, plain-English support you actually need to run a business. It’s professional accountancy, delivered with a bit more personality and straight talking explanations from a Chartered Accountant. We handle the technicalities; you focus on the trade.
