Real-time accounting & strategic finance for growing businesses
Founded by a Chartered Accountant who believes businesses deserve better than outdated financial information and reactive accounting. Cloudworx gives you real-time visibility and strategic guidance — without the cost and complexity of traditional accounting.
The problem we saw everywhere
- Businesses making critical decisions on outdated information
- Accountants delivering historical reports weeks after month-end
- SMEs unable to afford CFO-level strategic guidance
- UK & US businesses paying premium rates for basic accounting
The solution we built: real-time, cloud-based accounting, fractional CFO services, outsourced finance functions leveraging South African talent, and Employer of Record services — so businesses understand their numbers in real time and get guidance that supports growth.

Long-Term Partnership
We're invested in your success, get to know your business deeply, and many clients have been with us for years.
Modern & Forward-Thinking
Cloud-based systems, real-time visibility, embracing technology and automation — never stuck in "this is how we've always done it".
Built on trust
Every value comes back to one thing: long-term relationships built on results, not one-off engagements.
What our clients say
"We have worked with Cloudworx since their inception. We have watched Gareth and his team take the company to new heights while improving relations with all clients. No project is ever too big or too small for their personal attention. Our company would cease to have existed in its current form without their influence."
"We have been clients of Cloudworx since April 2015 and have never looked back. They have helped sort out our gym business accounting troubles and have set us on an efficient path going forward. We will always be grateful for their service and support."
"I am massively thankful that I chose you guys as our partners in business — I have never had a day of regret and you have made our business a lot better and simpler for us."
"Cloudworx has been an amazing partner over the years. They have always been willing to help and they have taken care of our accounting and tax obligations so that we can focus on our core work."
"Working with Cloudworx has been a joy. As a start-up founder, having the team handle our finance and compliance has saved us a great deal of time and headaches. The level of professionalism and care for our business has been unrivaled. They help you mitigate risks you'd encounter later as a scale-up and have advised us on things that changed the trajectory of our business."
"At Studio Bolland we pride ourselves in creativity, but like most creatives we're not great with numbers. Thankfully we use Cloudworx so we don't have to be. Their easy cloud-based systems make sending quotes and invoices a walk in the park, and they've suggested routes that ended up saving us money. Here's to many more years!"
