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.”
