Our History

The firm began in the 1950’s as Coffey and Co. In 1975 John Coffey, Owen Candy, Joe Purcell and John Prouse, who had all operated separately from the 1940’s, amalgamated to become Coffey & Co.

John Hunt joined the team at Coffey & Co in 1979 and shortly after became Partner. In that same year John Prouse, Owen Candy & Joe Purcell retired. With John Coffey & John Hunt as partners they changed the name to Coffey Hunt & Co Chartered Accountants.
