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!
