In short, I could not recommend Cooper Parry highly enough. The team worked to a very tight deadline pulling other members of the wider team in to help and deliver, bending over backwards to help us.

Reviews

ANDY, MARCH 26

“We used the payroll service, and whilst it may seem strange that having recently changed to another provider, to give a 4 star rating, the move was simply because of commercial considerations ( the new provider becoming a sponsor of the football team). The service we had from yourselves was excellent in being exceptionally flexible given our own issues with not always giving timely details for the weekly wage comps, altering them after first draft of payroll etc. Staff often made themselves available outside office hours to complete the payment process.”

RYAN, MARCH 26

“Great team with knowledge experts that are brilliant at rallying together when there is an urgent topic that needs covering – however fees are slightly expensive vs. LFL providers/legal firms”

GUY, MARCH 26

“Always very helpful staff in terms of explaining and walking through processes with us. The audit and tasks are completed on time”

SEAN, MARCH 26

“The communication from Jess, Jo and Glen has been superb. They are all very approachable and it’s a pleasure to work with them. I also find the online portal Inflo to be very user friendly and easy to use. Communication with the more junior members of the team can sometimes be a bit of a challenge if they aren’t fully certain on the questions they ask however this is completely understandable with them being at the start of their career journey. They are also very approachable and keen to ensure the correct outcome is reached.”

BRENT, JAN 26

“Georgia Gritton is our trusted advisor, responsive and loyal to us.”

ANGELA, FEB 26

“Always available to help, with understanding and patience. Advice is personalised and no question or query too small or insignificant.”

NIRMAL, FEB 26

“I’m happy with the continuous updates I get, the care & overall consistency shown. The information is always updated, I feel the company has my best interests at heart and always have a positive attitude towards improving the best for me. The staff are super supportive and are always interested in what I have to say. I have regular meetings informing me of my shares & profits and how best to move forward with valuable decisions benefiting the best for me & my family.”

DAVID, FEB 26

“Regular contact and good advice.”

ROSS, FEB 26

“Excellent advice and service. I was particularly grateful for the cash flow forecasting around my recent house purchase.

Not a lot to improve, but I’d appreciate an executive summary in the cash flow presentations, including a high level reconciliation to the previous period with the impact of key changes in assumptions.”

ESTHER, FEB 26

“Happy with the service. We are entering a pretty key period for us, life-wise, so optimistic that CP will be best partner to navigate us through it!”
