UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE FOR FINANCIAL SERVICE BUSINESSES

In a continually evolving sector where FCA regulatory and public scrutiny continues to intensify you need advisers on your side who get it. Advisers that come to the table fully understanding how financial service businesses operate. That get the compliance hurdles and timetables you face. We do.

From our clients we’re hearing that many of our competitors are withdrawing from supporting financial services. Particularly in relation to digital assets. We know that not every firm of accountants wants to take up the challenge of working with this specialist sector. We do.

With our comprehensive suite of services and industry expertise, we look after an impressive range of clients in this sector. Providing audit, advisory and compliance support services. Our team continues to grow. Strengthening our ability to look after your needs with a strong commitment to timetables and hitting deadlines.

Whether you’re a financial institution, a payment service provider on an accelerated growth journey, or working within the world of investments we can help you. Whether you’re a start-up business or an established financial services brand we will have come across the issues you face before. But we’re not complacent, we pride ourselves on really getting to know our clients on an individual basis. Ensuring a bespoke service.

digital assets

The world of digital assets doesn’t stand still. Today it’s cryptocurrencies, NFTs and the blockchain. Everyday there are more solutions. And more regulations follow.

Our digital assets team fill the gap where other advisers can’t or won’t step in to support you. The Cooper Parry culture encourages our people to keep learning. Acquiring more knowledge to support our clients. They’re passionate about the sector. They get the specific risks and challenges you face. Meaning they know how to best assist you.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

At Cooper Parry, we’re dedicated to excellence in everything we do. Our team stays abreast of regulatory changes and industry trends. Making sure we provide relevant and timely guidance and advice.

Our Audit Partners, Chris Evans and Andy Jepson have considerable experience of working with FCA regulated businesses. They’ve established one of the UK’s leading accountancy teams dealing with audit assurance, tax and advisory for the crypto and bitcoin sectors.

Whether you need statutory audit, CASS assurance or a safeguarding focussed audit we can help. Or maybe you need assistance with FCA returns. Or do you think your existing advisers simply don’t get digital assets and financial services?

Alongside our financial services audit team our Deals and Tech team work with a number of high growth fintech companies. Helping them on their growth journey. Whatever your needs we’d love to talk. We know we can help.

OUR TESTIMONIALS

CFRA

“I have worked with Andy Jepson for over 10 years. He has always been a partner that I could turn to when faced with not only audit/accounting issues, but overall business strategy. He has an innate ability to see through the noise and assess a situation and always tells me how he sees it. Thus, I have come to trust him. I would strongly endorse Andy as a key advisor when building a firm from the group up or growing into an international business.”

Theresa Torian,

CEO

Bondsmith

“I worked with Andy and his team on our Group’s first statutory audit as an FCA regulated entity. His communication and willingness to be available at all times throughout the process made our first audit smooth and efficient. He and the team are a pleasure to work with and I look forward to our continuing relationship.”

REVIEWS

SHEILA, JULY 24

“Andy and Dan established a comprehensive audit plan with realistic timelines. Their communication was professional and supportive throughout, resulting in a highly collaborative process. The AFR will support us in making improvements to our practices..”

PASI, JULY 24

“Audit and regular tax doing all good and no issues. R&D claim we have currently quite an issue. Even though I appreciate hard work and effort CP’s team had put on answering those enquiries. Naturally I do not hold CP responsible for HMRC’s unlogical behaviour.”

RISHI, JULY 24

“Since working with Cooper Parry communication has been excellent. All deadlines have been met as agreed. Support with additional support given whenever required.”

TONY, JULY 24

“Similar to last year but felt the whole process this year was a lot more painful this year with amended HMRC guidelines.”

ROB, JULY 24

“Great work all round.”

GUNEET, JULY 24

“It has been great to work with such a wonderful team, highly professional and very knowledgeable. “

ADRIAN, JULY 24

“Having moved the audit to CP from BDO we have been pleased with the quality of staff provided for the audit, their positive attitude and their work ethic. CP have done exactly what they said they would do in their proposal so far. The test will be around whether this was a special effort for the first year or reflective of the normal level of service that they provide going forward. i.e. Let’s keep it up and work together to increase efficiency and effectiveness. “

GREGOR, JULY 24

“Service is always excellent, and responsive.”

NITIL, JULY 24

“Doing a very good job.”

ELVIRA, JULY 24

“I have only had very limited time working together but it has all gone smoothly.”
