Very rude and unprofessional staff. Do not do jobs on time and their invoicing is completely random. Do not want to listen to any complaints and become aggressive when questioned.
Update. The reply from this company should show you how unprofessional they are. This is simply because we made a formal complaint about their poor service and found out they are unregulated. They dont want to deal with complaints and we are told by many of their other former clients they have all left due to poor service. We were warned away by our previous accountant. In fact the owner Robert Newman has now

I've been really impressed with the communication from CCM, especially Rob, during this uncertain time. The information they've been putting out is clear, no nonsense, and has a certain depth and clarity that I'm not seeing from other sources.
Rob called today to check in and was happy to answer my questions about my upcoming return. If you're in need of an accountant in the North West then I can highly recommend CCM.
