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.
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.
5 stars all the way!
Jake is a pleasure to deal with, very helpful, very knowledgeable, understanding, and I wouldn’t use anybody else. Thank you, Jake.
