We've had the pleasure of working alongside Coombs Chartered Accountants for a number of years, providing outsourced payroll services on behalf of their clients.

Their team is thorough, well organised, and committed to delivering an excellent service to their clients. Communication is always prompt and clear, allowing us to deliver payroll accurately and on time.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and professional accountancy firm.

When my accountant gave notice of his pending retirement, I had to find another.
The replacement that was offered by my present number cruncher didn’t really float my boat.

I dug into my roladex and messaged a previous CA, whom had also retired! (I see a pattern. Nothing to do with bureaucratic shenanigans surely?)

I was put in touch with Jake at Coombs Chartered Accountants and immediately was impressed with his enthusiasm, knowledge and client-centred viewpoint.

The transition from old to new went well, down to the professionalism of both accountants.
Can’t complain about any aspect of the service I receive and the advice given is clear and detailed, which is helpful and reassuring.

His prices are fair and, notably, is available at most times. When I leave a message, it’s returned soon after.

And he’s a (the real) Latics fan, so there’s an additional connection!

Recommendation cannot be emphasised enough.

Was introduced to Jake by my business partner and we decided to switch to Coombes after our first call.

Jake’s knowledge and attention to detail was the main driver for me ( helps he’s a good guy too). He doesn’t just look at the short term but asks you a lot of questions to seek out the long term to tailor his advice to you.

Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

He explains everything clearly and gives genuinely great advice that’s easy to understand and apply. 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.
