Lewis Chaffey

I have been a practice accountant since 2006, where I first began as an apprentice, studying alongside valuable work experience. I then honed my skills in a smaller practice, before gaining industry experience working as a management accountant in the hospitality industry. In 2019 I took the leap to go self-employed full time, now working with dozens of clients, many of which are based around our little office just off of New Milton highstreet.

I have always enjoyed working with smaller businesses, enjoying the personal contact with business owners. I enjoy getting involved at any stage in their business journey, but I especially enjoy working with them from the beginning, advising on structure, and working with them to support them and their business, creating a lasting relationship and watching them grow and achieve their goals.

I have two sons, Reuben and Seb, who keep me busy when I’m not working! I enjoy spending time with my family and trying to stay healthy at the gym or with my dogs taking a stroll on the beach or a picnic in the forest.

What our clients think

Lewis has supported us through initially trading as a sole trader before transitioning into being VAT registered and a limited company. He is approachable and no question is ’too stupid’. He breaks things down to those not so in the know and is honest and fair in his advice. Thank you for all your help over the years!

We have been with Coastal finance for ten years now. Corporate and personal tax explained in plain language for SMEs has been an invaluable service for us. This means we can concentrate on what we know best – Our own business – and trust the ever more complex world of accounting and taxation to Coastal.

C Hold Construction Ltd were recommended 6 years ago to use Coastal Finance. We can’t recommend them enough for their professional approach to all of our needs running our ever changing and busy company. The knowledge, privacy and professional advice Lewis has is incredible. I liaised closely with Lewis with our Xero Book Keeping package and if I ever had questions or difficulties he was always only a phone call away. In our opinion, to find someone/a company like Coastal Finance to work alongside you in a busy company is invaluable. Coastal Finance dealt with our payroll, VAT and obviously Tax Affairs. Thank you Lewis!
