Trusted by Leading Mid-Market Businesses
From fast-growing to established industry leaders, we’ve delivered audits that are commercial, pragmatic, and built around their needs. Here are just a few of the mid-market businesses who’ve chosen Cooper Parry as their audit partner.
IS IT TIME TO CHANGE YOUR AUDITOR?
The Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC) latest Annual Review of Audit Quality confirmed what we’ve been hearing in conversations with over 300 finance leaders across the UK:
While some of the largest audit firms are showing signs of improvement, others continue to fall short. And ultimately, it’s their mid-market clients that are being left behind.
Auditors under pressure to meet new expectations for their Public Interest Entity (PIE) clients are redirecting time and resources, which could leave mid-market businesses facing higher fees, longer timelines, and reduced service quality.
At Cooper Parry, we’re built for the mid-market. It’s the area we specialise in. And our audit model is designed to be commercial, pragmatic and tailored to businesses like yours.
No over-engineering. No box-ticking. Just smart, efficient audits, delivered by people who genuinely understand your world.
A Different Kind of Audit Relationship
“As our business evolved, we recognised a need for a different kind of audit relationship. Our former auditors, one of the largest accounting firms, provided a thorough service, but we required greater flexibility to meet our group deadlines and more predictable fee structures. We decided to seek a new partner to build a long-term, consistent team relationship that offered a more continuous dialogue throughout the year.
Cooper Parry brought a completely different approach. They worked with us to understand our business and processes, helping us find the most practical way to gather audit evidence. Their friendly, collaborative style made a real difference.
Our first-year audit was completed more than two months earlier than the previous year and at a much better price. For year two, we’re working with virtually the same team, which gives us confidence that things will run even more smoothly – especially with group deadlines moving forward.”
– Neil FaNthome-Hodgson, Finance Director
