See what our clients have to say about us and the work that we carry out…

We have worked with Coates and Partners for more than ten years and have always been impressed by Karen's professionalism, approachability and attention to detail.

We have used their Accounts, VAT, Bookkeeping and Payroll services and these have always been provided in a timely manner. We are more than happy with the service we have received.

We would certainly recommend Coates and Partners to individuals, small or large businesses.

Nigel Walker, Director - Derby Office Machines Limited

I have dealt with Coates and Partners since 2006 and have experienced a totally excellent service of such a high quality that is very reassuring. I feel extremely confident in the advice I and my Company are given and the whole proposition is delivered in a very professional and yet friendly manner. The skills that each partner brings is different and therefore they can advise on many different aspects of Accountancy. I would have no hesitation in recommending them because of this.

Simon N Roberts, Independent Financial Adviser - Foinaven Asset Management Ltd

We transferred our accounts to Coates and Partners about 10 years ago when we moved into the area from Kent. Our business is Holden Healthcare Consultancy Services.

Karen has handled our accounts during this time and we have always found her to be extremely professional, accurate and helpful. She has made constructive suggestions on the efficient management of our accounts and business.

We are very pleased with the service that we have received from the staff at Coates and Partners and would not hesitate to recommend Karen to other business people.

Jamie Pagett - National Paintball Games

I just thought I would drop you a line to thank you for the patience you have afforded me during the first year of my incorporation. The initial company set up formalities were completed quickly and efficiently and I feel that your “hands on” approach has been most helpful throughout the year. My end of year accounts and personal tax return were for the first time a breeze! Filing my return online was without complication and my affairs have never been finalised and acknowledged by the revenue so quickly.

I would recommend Coates and Partners Limited without hesitation, and with complete confidence. Thank you once again.

Andrew Oakes, Estate Practitioner - Independent Will Makers Limited

I am the managing director of a £1.5m turnover business and I have been a client of Coates and Partners for over six years now during which time all of their staff have been polite, 100% helpful and prompt. I constantly use them as a first point of call on any number of issues and I always receive a call back, which exceeds my expectations every time. Additionally I find them pro-active and offer advice on business matters, not just tax related, which has saved me considerable time, money and effort. Coates and Partners make sure that I understand all aspects of legislation and my accounts in full. They are quick to sort any matters that arise and I have complete confidence in them.

I would recommend Coates and Partners to other businesses.

Sadie Alcock, Managing Director - Employ Recruitment UK Limited

The Darley Motor Club has been clients of Coates and Partners since the Club began in 1965. The Club have always found that all our enquiries and problems have been dealt with in a prompt and reliable way. There has never been an issue with completing the various VAT and Tax Returns on time even when we have been a little late in providing the information. There are not many accountants who will give up their time at weekends or evenings to come to a Club Committee meeting or AGM to explain a difficult, for us, part of new government legislation.

The financial help and guidance given by Coates and Partners over the last 40 plus years has helped the Club progress from strength to strength. Darley Motor MCRRC ltd would certainly recommend Coates and Partners to any company seeking reliable and helpful accountants.

Eddie Nelson, General Secretary - Darley Motor MCRRC

This confirms that the service I receive from Coates and Partners is second to none. Hilary Dowson has been my accountant for over 15 years and looks after all aspects with complete knowledge, professionalism and integrity.

She is so patient and her staff so helpful, it would benefit anyone to use their services.

Fiona Durling - The Marjorie Centre

I would like to express my sincere thanks to you for your time given and your expert advice at our recent meeting. The information given was most helpful to my business. Your services will certainly be recommended to other acquaintances of mine.

Nigel Jones, Director - Missing Element Mortgage Solutions Ltd

Having created Handlemedia as a small business I found myself requiring an accountant to provide me with not just accountancy services but with advice on many other issues relating to the future running of my business. On recommendation I approached Hilary Dowson of Coates and Partners of Ashbourne. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy Hilary made the whole daunting process on Income Tax and VAT issues appear and a great weight was immediately lifted from my shoulders.

I look forward to continuing our business relationship in the years to come and thanks to Hilary's advice ensure that Handlemedia remains profitable and viable for the foreseeable future.
