Audit Services That Go Beyond Box-Ticking

With regulatory scrutiny climbing and reporting standards shifting, you don’t just need auditors who play by the rules – you need ones who raise the bar. 

At Cooper Parry, the mid-market is our home turf. It’s what we know, what we specialise in, and where we thrive. Our audit model is commercial, pragmatic, and built around the needs of businesses like yours.

No unnecessary layers. No tick-box mentality. Just efficient, value-adding audits, delivered by a team that truly understands your world.

Trusted by Businesses Like Yours

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 businesses who’ve chosen Cooper Parry as their audit partner.

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 Faththome-Hodgson, Finance Director

Reviews

SURESH, NOV 25

“Everything was explained well and at our pace.”

MARK, FEB 25

“CPW gives us confidence that we have a solid and well considered financial strategy. When we have specific queries outside meetings they are usually answered promptly and in detail. Not sure we are making the best returns possible but good enough. A summary once a year of exactly how much we have made or lost in a 12-month period would be a useful additional piece of information”

BEV, FEB 25

“I feel that we could have had more nurturing and more communication given this is a new area for us – also sometimes communication isn’t great – but you are a lovely team”

CHRIS, FEB 25

“Your staff are great”

CLAIRE, FEB 25

“Excellent communications and relationship building. The on line system could be a bit slicker. We’ve had an issue with a pop up not being removed. But this is very minor.”

CLIVE, FEB 25

“Simon and his team offer a great service – keeping us up to date and responding promptly to any questions we may have. Thank you”

DARREN, FEB 25

“Please continue to do what you do.”

DAVID, FEB 25

“Sometimes think actions take too long especially when taking money out. During the time it takes the value of the investment can fall a fair bit, having said that the service we receive is excellent.”

DECLAN, FEB 25

“Breath of fresh air from our previous advisor. As a result of advice given by Brendan we have a higher performing and more consolidated portfolio with lower management charges. More importantly Brendan and his colleagues have provided a level of reassurance that we wanted, especially after the poor experience at St James Place. Brendan’s personal style and expertise along with the attention and time given to us as we made the transition to Cooper Parry has been greatly appreciated.”

ANDREW, FEB 25

“We are extremely happy with the service that we receive from Codie and her team. Communication is fantastic and any advice given is always explained in a very clear way. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend CP Wealth”
