CONNECTING WITH EUROPE. CONNECTING WITH THE UK.

We’ve got significant experience of carrying out audits for UK subsidiaries of overseas companies.

We have great relationships with the European and overseas offices of the Big 4 accountancy firms. They refer work into Cooper Parry when their UK based counterparts aren’t able to take on the work. Whether that’s down to capacity or price point.

We help mid-market businesses on their annual audits, tax structuring and returns. Our specialism is working with UK-based and multinational businesses of £10m – £200m turnover.

Alongside this we also audit larger businesses with turnover exceeding £1.2bn and business listed on AIM in the UK. Our experience covers a range of sectors including manufacturing, engineering, retail, construction and property, and technology-based companies.

We’ve created an audit process like no other, focused on collaboration and technology. We’re experts on the latest accountancy standards and making businesses more efficient. And to go with this expertise, we have a big team that makes quick decisions.

WORKING WITH OVERSEAS PARENT COMPANIES. WORKING WITH UK SUBSIDIARIES

We get why the UK is an attractive home to a growing number of subsidiaries of overseas companies. It offers a significant consumer market with an international reputation as a great place to do business.

We also understand that the parent company will want an experienced auditor that understands regulatory compliance not just in the UK but how it applies to them. Communication and coordination is key particularly when working across time zones. The use of technology and secure data sharing with the potential complexities relating to transfer pricing and intracompany transactions are an important consideration.
