Care. Communicate. Deliver.
Modus Accountants differs from other accountancy firms. It was co-founded in 2018 by Mark Spolander, a serial entrepreneur, and Samantha Newport, a chartered accountant. The firm's creation was based on the idea that businesses should receive more than just reactive and compliance-focused accounting services. Mark's experience as a business owner and his mentoring of over 100 businesses, combined with Samantha's technical accounting expertise, bring together the best of both worlds.Modus has grown significantly over the past seven years and is now one of Oxfordshire's leading accountancy practices. The firm supports hundreds of clients across the UK and overseas, offering a wide range of services. These services include preparing accounts, tax planning, bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, and company formations, as well as providing strategic business advisory support.
The firm's proactive approach sets it apart from others. The team at Modus takes the time to understand each client's objectives and provides practical guidance to help them grow. This support is available to sole traders, established SMEs, and business owners looking to expand. Modus offers the necessary expertise and support to help businesses succeed.
The firm is based in Oxfordshire and is led by a dedicated team of professionals. They are committed to making a genuine difference for the businesses they work with. At Modus, providing great client service is not just a promise, but the fundamental principle on which the firm was established.

Managing Director
I am a CIMA-qualified professional, having gained over 20 years of experience in the fields of finance and accountancy. My career commenced as a commercial accountant, and subsequently, I co-founded Modus Accountants in early 2018.
Since its inception, Modus has expanded into a team of nine members, providing support to hundreds of clients spanning various industries. The experience of establishing a business from its foundation has been highly rewarding, and I take pride in the business and the team that we have established.

Great accountants. The whole team are always polite, efficient and professional, and I have never had any issues.
Maddy and Nick have been helpful with any questions, and Nick has been exceptional in helping us deal with a number of accounting issues, and has always remained kind and pleased to help. Wonderful service.

We've had a great experience with Modus over the last 3 years. Mark is really easy to deal with and always happy to explain things when we have questions. We are based in Witney and working with them has been straightforward from the start. Would happily recommend Modus to anyone looking for a reliable accountant in Oxfordshire.

Fantastic service from the whole team at Modus. My accountant Laura is thorough and reliable, Maddy is brilliant with the payroll and Mark (the founder) is incredibly hands-on- always accessible and willing to jump in to help whenever needed. Hes been especially helpful and generous with his time as I begin the adventure into my second business. 10/10 service!

I cannot recommend Jenna and Brooke at Modus Accountancy Firm enough! Over the past five years, they have been incredible supporters of my business, Sanctum Hair. Their expertise, professionalism, and friendly approach have made all the difference. Thank you, Jenna and Brooke, for your outstanding support!

I needed help with my self assessment tax return, so went to Modus. I could not have asked for more; the help and support was professional, quick and most importantly, very helpful. Modus managed to find helpful solutions for my tax needs which a Big Four accountant had failed to do in previous years. A big thank you to all the team and I would thoroughly recommend anyone looking for tax or business planning support.

I work with Modus for a couple of years and very happy about their service. They are always very responsive and helpful. All accounts are prepared and submitted on time, even in advance. They give responses and answer my questions quick and clear. My contact person is Samantha Newport and I love working with her.
