CULTURE

If you sliced Cooper Parry open (more cake, less autopsy), you’d find one flavour oozing out above all others: culture. 

It counts for so much here, guiding how we treat each other, how we work with you, our awesome clients, and how we make sure CP has a long-lasting, positive impact on our people, communities, and the environment. 

Trust is at its core. Brought to life by open holiday, ‘Work From Anywhere. Anytime. Forever’ and our innovative 100-80-100 experiment, we give our people the power to work whenever, wherever, however suits them.  

Whisk in a multi-award-winning wellbeing strategy, unrivalled benefits and a showstopping social calendar, and you’ve got a recipe for people feeling happy, fulfilled, and motivated. Every single day. 

In return, we ask for one thing: produce incredible work. And judging by our industry-leading NPS scores and satisfaction ratings, boy do they oblige. 

Our in-house Sustainability team measure and improve our impact on the environment, sharing tips with everyone across CP, so they can make planet-powered changes in their own lives. And in February 2023, we became the UK’s largest accountancy B Corp. 

Our Diversity & Inclusion team embed inclusivity and a celebration of diversity into our culture, improving the accessibility of our recruitment process and training all our people to better understand the importance and nuance of Diversity & Inclusion. In particular, their campaigns on neurodiversity and eating disorders have really struck a chord in recent times, sparking important discussion and warm support, CP-wide. 

We love volunteering too. It’s how we give back to our communities and make a difference Beyond Business. We work with the brilliant onHand to give our people easy access to volunteering opportunities in their local areas, every day. And we commit to giving 500 days of volunteering time each year, including our Community Day, when we all log off and head out to support the causes that matter to us. 

By maintaining a laser-focus on culture, we’ve become a permanent feature in the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For list, and the Best Accountancy Firm to Work For in the UK. 

So yeah, it means everything here. And while we know we’ll never have all the answers, that won’t stop us trying. Drop us a note and we can swap some ideas. We’re always eager to learn, especially over coffee.
