I have been dealing with Jake and the team for 10+ years – not only does he take the time to understand our business needs but he also aligns this with your personal needs. No task is too small and no time is inconvenient – always a pleasure to work with and always the first recommendation I make to anyone looking at going into business.

Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and it’s reassuring knowing you’ll get a prompt, thoughtful response whenever you need one. A fantastic knowledgable guy and a pleasure to work with.

Working with this accountant has been an absolute game‑changer for my finances. They combine deep technical knowledge with a calm, professional approach that makes even the most complicated financial matters feel manageable. Every interaction is clear, friendly, and incredibly efficient.
What stands out most is their attention to detail. Nothing slips through the cracks — whether it’s tax planning, bookkeeping, or long‑term financial strategy, they take the time to explain everything in a way that’s easy to understand. They’re proactive too, often spotting opportunities or potential issues before I even think to ask.

Would 100% recommend Jake at Coombs Chartered Accountants. Incredibly reliable and genuine. His knowledge and advice has served us well. He has taken into account our business needs and has taken the time and effort to understand what direction we want to take the business in and advised us accordingly.

I would genuinely say thay Jake saved my business.
The time he took to review everything but then go even further by explaining it to me and working with me so I knew what I was meant to be doing.
He is one of a kind, always available and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
I’ve already sent over 7 people thay have changed to Jake and the team – that’s says it all
I was completely new to being a contractor and quite apprehensive, but Coombs Chartered Accountants has made the whole process feel straightforward and stress free. They have been flexible, incredibly patient, always taking the time to explain things clearly, and they are a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended.
I couldn’t imagine not working with Jake – he’s truly the oracle! Nothing is ever too much trouble, and he always takes the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly. In the 11 years we’ve worked together, there hasn’t been a single question he couldn’t answer. I couldn’t recommend him enough and such a positive guy to have on board with us.
I’ve the pleasure of working with Jake, and I can confidently say he’s one of the most helpful and reliable professionals I’ve dealt with. He’s consistently thorough, responsive, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. Whether it’s tax season or ongoing financial planning, Jake brings both expertise and peace of mind to the process. I truly appreciate his attention to detail and the way he makes complex financial matters feel manageable. Highly recommended!
Coombs have been an invaluable part of our business journey. They simplified our accounting, kept us compliant, and offered advice that genuinely helped us grow. It’s rare to find a firm that’s both knowledgeable and approachable. What really sets them apart, though, is the extra time and care they give to clients with learning difficulties like ADHD and dyslexia. They break things down clearly, never rush the process, and make sure you feel supported every step of the way. That kind of understanding is priceless.
I was recommended Jake when I was looking for an accountant for my business – I’m delighted that I took the advice! As having spoken with Jake he advised that I become a limited company, sorted out all the paperwork and it’s been a hassle- free process plus saving me money; what isn’t there to recommend?
