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

Responsive, advice which is on the front foot, thinking further down the line than just today’s advice which adds value and opportunity to work further together to make sure arrangements are correctly completed.
Polly, July 26
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.
Gemma, July 26
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
Mark, July 26
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.
Victoria, July 26
