Audits are an annual check on an organisation’s financial situation. As a legal requirement in the UK, most businesses with turnover in excess of £10m and more than 50 employees will need to have one. It’s where an auditor checks your business’s records for accuracy, honesty and risk. It can be a laborious process. But at Cooper Parry, our award-winning audit and assurance team are out to change the audit experience.
Our industry has given audit a bad name. New clients join us expecting it to be a long, hard slog during which they’re endlessly interrogated and shamed for any tiny errors. You’re probably used to the same – a painful process year after year. But, that’s just not how we work.
We’re out to change the audit experience. We’ve created an audit process like no other focused around collaboration and technology. Unlike other accountants, we aren’t afraid to challenge the way you do things to help you achieve success.
Working with us will give you the expertise of a Big Four accountancy firm but with a more personal experience. Lots of our team have a Big Four background before moving to Cooper Parry (where the grass is much greener). Our team has depth, we’re big on customer service and our auditors have personality. It’s this approach that has won us numerous awards.
We know you’re not just looking for any old auditor. You’re looking for an audit partner with the systems, processes and relevant experience to handle your business. Yet, you’re also looking for an auditor who’s flexible, sticks to timelines and who’ll prioritise your audit amongst others. You want an adviser that understands your business and strategy as well as the regulatory requirements that you must meet. A team that has expertise in the latest accountancy standards is a necessity.
We’ll start by spending time with you to fully understand your business, opportunities, challenges and strategic aims. Then, we’ll shape our relationship, plan and timetable for the year around how you want it to work.
Having this solid foundation of understanding from the outset means we can immediately start to add insight, observations and value to our relationship to go above and beyond your expectations. We’ll deliver exactly what you need, when and where you need it.
We’ll seek feedback to constantly refine our service and improve it for you, always aiming to deliver a level of quality you’d recommend to others.
