Meet Gareth Price, CA(SA)

Your partner, not just your accountant.

The Mission

Founded Cloudworx to give businesses real-time financial visibility and strategic guidance — proving great finance doesn’t have to be slow, backward-looking or out of reach.
The Philosophy

What guides every engagement

Real-time, not historical

Businesses need current information to make good decisions — not last month’s numbers.

Strategic, not just compliance

Accounting should support growth, not just tick regulatory boxes.

Proactive, not reactive

We spot opportunities and risks before they become critical.

Transparent, not complicated

Finance explained in plain English, not accounting jargon.

Partnership, not transaction

Long-term relationships built on trust, not one-off engagements.

Testimonials

What our clients say

Long-term partnerships built on trust, across South Africa, the UK and beyond.

“We have worked with Cloudworx since their inception many years ago. Since then we have watched Gareth and his team take the company to new heights, while managing not only to maintain, but improve on relations with all clients. No project is ever too big or too small for their personal attention. Our company would cease to exist in its current form without their influence.”

“Here at Studio Bolland we pride ourselves on creativity, but like most creatives, we're not particularly good when it comes to numbers! Thankfully we use Cloudworx so that we don't have to be. They guide us through keeping our accounts healthy, and their easy cloud-based systems make sending quotes and invoices a breeze.”
