TLDR: Good initial conversation to understand the request but the moment things got complicated, I barely received any attention to details, being asked what numbers I wish to be written in the Tax Return! Exceptionally poor customer service and communication despite premium fee rates. Complete inability to acknowledge deficient work and settle matters amicably while trying every trick in the book to shift responsibility onto clients. Repeated attempts at pressuring clients into accepting subpar work contrary to their interests.

Definitely not recommend! While Ray might be an OK professional in general, unfortunately, in my case, his performance was extremely disappointing. I've asked Ray to put together my self-assessment tax return for TY23/24 while substantiating a particular set of circumstances from TY22/23 which was likely to have a knock-on effect on my tax position. He agreed to calculate the tax return for TY 23/24 and doublecheck the taxes for TY22/23.

Given that I have no accounting training, I provided him with the requested documents. Ray completely failed to account for my TY22/23 concerns or look across all documents. This resulted in a miscalculation of at least a couple thousand of pounds less. Upon raising doubts regarding his overall approach and analysis, Ray did not provide a detailed analysis, bringing up very superficial off-topic commentary and insisting on signing the documents.

At that stage, it was clear that I had to spend hours doing the calculations myself.

Ray showed an extremely petty attitude throughout and refused to reach a compromise in order to settle the matter while constantly trying to shift responsibility to the client. After this experience, I would highly recommend NOT using Coman&Co'sservices.

Ray was very helpful in taking time out in his busy tax January to help with an urgent ad hoc tax query, providing clear guidance to enable me to research further. Thanks again!

I can't recommend Ray Coman highly enough. I would give him 10 stars if I could. He literally saved me! I was in tears when I first spoke to him over the phone. My previous accountant made huge mistakes with some calculations. Ray corrected his mistakes, thanks to his incredible experience and professionalism, dealing very promptly with the problem and sorting it out completely. I feel incredibly lucky I met him. Ray is the BEST.

Excellent service! They answered all of my questions, gave me good advice on how best to handle my situation, and took care of all of the details. I will definitely work with them again.

I hired Ray to assist me with an Accounting issue and when we first spoke on the phone he sounded knowledgeable, patient and reassuring. Throughout the process he provided me with useful information and took care of the process efficiently. I plan to continue to use Coman & Co for any future accounting needs.

Ray has been my accountant for several years now. He is very personable and extremely kind and generous with sharing his time and expertise. He is patient and thorough with making sure that things are understood and completed to the best standard. I would highly recommend him.

Coman & Co has been my accountant ever since I started contracting (6+ years). I have nothing but good things to say about Ray - professional, reliable, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. End of year account have been really simple thanks to Ray and his team! Highly recommended!

Ray has been our (my wife is a freelancer) accountant for over 7 years. In this time he has been a remarkable professional. His advice is always sound, knowledgable, fast and clear. He has helped us through some very difficult situations and we are very grateful for friendly service. I highly recommend him.

Ray at Coman & Co came highly recommended to me by two friends from Sweden. He is very straightforward and explains everything extremely well as I had no clue how to move forward with my current tax situation. As a company I had honest and quick response turn around with my tax return. I would highly recommend and will continue to work with Ray.

In-depth advice, highly responsive, thorough and individual service: My husband and I have been clients of Ray Coman for the past 5/10 years. We have benefitted in so many ways from Ray's expertise, from simple tax returns to advice on best company set ups, how my husband's and my own business can create tax synergies and even accounting and tax optimizations when buying a franchise. Amazing service at a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Ray to anyone who needs personal or business tax advice.

I got in touch with Coman & Co with tentative query after stumbling upon a useful article on their website while googling for some property tax information. Ray responded very quickly and was generous with his time and information, even though it didn't turn into a job for him, or hasn't yet! After that experience though I'd certainly consider him if I do decide to engage an accountant in the future, he clearly knows his stuff and has a nice attitude which I think would be a great start to a relationship with your accountant!

I have personally interacted with Mr Ray Coman. I am very impressed with his professional knowledge and quick understanding of the of my HMRC tax related problems. He is very quick and helpful in responding back. I rely on him and take his guidance, advice for filing my tax returns. Thank you, Ray. I will continue to take all the help as required.

Very friendly and professional service, personalised to individual needs and requirements. Great to know about if you're in or around the East Dulwich area.

Excellent prompt service from Coman & Co. Evident from the initial meeting that Ray is an expert in his field and the process that followed was conducted with great professionalism. We have a holiday let abroad, a rental flat in London and two complex income situations. I would not hesitate to recommend Coman and co and will be using their services for tax return and advice going forward.
