Graeme Marshall (Operations Director)
At Howard’s, Karl was a hard working, very knowledgeable accounts manager. I was disappointed to hear he had moved on from Howard’s as our audits were always very smooth and accurate. I would recommend him to handle accounts of any size enterprise and entirely trust his advice and judgement.
Richard Portlock (Director)
I switched accountants due to never having any interaction or advice from my previous adviser’s yet my fees were always increasing and accounts were always prepared last minute. Karl has made the switch over run smoothly and is extremely prompt at getting back to me with answers to any questions or quires I may have and has always offered me good advice. I now get monthly management accounts with explanations to any questions so I totally understand where my business is at. I highly recommend Karl and have already recommended him to other people and will continue to do so.
Robert Fallows (Director)
I have used Karl as my company accountant for eight years. He is the first accountant I have found in over twenty years of business who is human and who could explain to me in a way and manner that I now totally understand. Previously the experience was like a daunting painful trip to the headmaster.
Hayley Upton
We have used Karl as our accountant for ten years he is very friendly and helped us massively with our book keeping we were using a complex package which was not producing the information we required so Karl helped us develop a bespoke system which is user friendly and gives us the information we require in a much easier way. This has been a great help as it saves a lot of time and also saved us money as we no longer subscribe for expensive software so I can devote this time to the business.
Jeffrey Challinor – Managing Director
Karl’s advice and experience has been invaluable to our business, he has always managed our accounts accurately and professionally over the past twelve years. He is always at the end of the phone to answer any queries we have.
As Management System Consultants and Auditors working with PLC clients Karl fully understands our business processes and policies, including GDPR and Information Security requirements.
We can be confident thar our accounts are prepared in the correct format, statutory books and other company secretarial records are kept up-to-date and that all statutory returns are prepared.
I have no hesitation in recommending Karl to any type of business looking for no nonsense accountancy advice
Alan Ball – Managing Director
Karl Cobane and his team have looked after my business for the past five years, we as a company had a few issues with our original accountancy company which had served us for fifteen years.
Karl and his team come highly recommended by another company. We gave them a chance and never looked back. Karl’s team now look after our PAYE system and training along with sage accounting, monthly management accounts, year end accounts and personal tax affairs.
