Firm Profile - Background
Coombe Smith was originally established as a Partnership between the Palmerston North Accounting Practice of Brian Smith, and the Marton practice of Bernie Coombe in 1974.
On the retirement of Brian Smith in 1996, Brent Dickins joined the firm after 10 years experience in an International Accounting Practice. From a local farming background, Brent has packaged his practical skills, and applied them to other business sectors. Following significant growth in the practice Brent purchased the Palmerston North Business from the Partnership in 2003.
Hamish Pryde joined the firm in 2008 bringing a background in road freight transport, agricultural contracting, farming and many and varied commercial activities. Hamish Pryde has been a Chartered Accountant since 2000 helping clients as the trusted business advisor helping with all things business and helping keep the tax man off their backs.
The firm has now collected a diverse range of clients and developed a greater range of products and services to tailor to each individual client's needs. Along with the traditional accounting services, we have developed a special interest in property development, business coaching, business appraisals and management.
