We are adventurous, show entrepreneurial spirit, take smart risks and set outrageously big goals. We experiment. We dare to try new things with little fear of failure. We take tough decisions, push back and always challenge the status quo. We’re candid and fearless in calling out actions that work against our values and culture.
We’re filled with passion, energy, and an irrepressible enthusiasm to get things done. We compete hard to win, with almost limitless belief. We dream big and imagine the unimaginable. We have an inner hunger, we move fast and always place big bets.
We’re passionately curious and thrive on change. Every morning we get up, searching for a new way – a better way. We’re independent thinkers and we take ownership for our own development. Standing still either as a business or individually isn’t an option. We never stop growing, always questioning, always adapting, always stretching – reaching for more than we ever thought possible. Our capacity to grow knows no boundaries.
We treat others well. We trust and are trusted. We play it straight. We’re candid and honest. No talking behind backs or ‘throwing stones’. No bitching, moaning or groaning. We’re authentic and real. We show humility and vulnerability. Acting with integrity, we take responsibility for past actions, admit mistakes and fix them.
All for one and one for all. Celebrating every success, big or small. There’s no place for egos, politics or silo thinking. We search for and apply the best ideas – and share knowledge – regardless of the source. We treat the business as if it’s our own because we care deeply about CP. It doesn’t matter who you are – just what you do!

I find the tax service difficult, I value having a relationship wher eI can pick up the phone and have someone who understands the business – I’ve not had that at Cooper Parry. Fee quotes and work scopes are disproportionate for the stage of business that we are. Audit was fairly hands off this year; we completed in a tight frame which we appreciated but I’m not sure we got the hands on value add partnership that we’ve had more of in prior years. No mention of FRS102 changes for example which would have been one example of value add from CP in terms of our internal planning.
The team are always responsive to queries and also helpful to introduce me to the right person at CP if they can’t help. Whoever I liaise with are knowledgeable, easy to work with and understand the business needs.
Glen and the audit team are always well prepared and now having worked together for 3+ years they whole process has become very good in light of the fact we all know how each party works and can make the necessary allowances for timings and personnel availability
Generally very pro-active. Make us aware of any issues that may affect the year end in advance. Also helping re capital allowances in advance of the current year. All of the team are approachable whilst maintaining a strong professional ethic.
Good communication with audit team. Clear audit plan at start of process. Good interaction with audit team during the audit. Frequent check ins. Timelines for audit and reporting have always been met.
We use CP predominantly for our annual audit and the process always feels “painless”.
Consistent team on the audit each year makes it easier year on year. Prompt response to queries even when not on site. Easy to use portal for uploading documents.
Attention to detail and a personalised service
Good professional advice always available
