Limited Company Accountants
Expert accounting services for limited companies.
Running a limited company comes with greater responsibilities than operating as a sole trader. From statutory accounts and Corporation Tax to payroll, dividends, and Companies House filings, staying compliant can quickly become time-consuming.

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

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 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 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?
Definitely recommend Jake, we have been with him now a couple of years and has been very helpful always willing to answer any questions we may have had, very easy to deal with and has made the accounting side of our business a breeze.
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!
