“We’ve worked with Tara for around five years, initially on our audit and then on other ad hoc regulatory work, including tax and VAT reviews. Throughout that time there’s been really good continuity. Even through the transition from Haines Watts to Cooper Parry, we retained the key senior people on the job which made everything smooth.
That continuity makes a real difference. The team understands us, we understand them and we know what to expect from each other. They know our business and how we operate which makes the whole audit process far more efficient.
Over the last few years our reporting deadlines have become much tighter. Together we’ve really nailed those efficiencies with the team helping plan the audit and deliver both our own and our parent Group’s timelines.
Understanding our business is key, we’ve evolved significantly over the last 5 years bringing a whole new set of audit considerations. The team thought differently and where they didn’t have the answer themselves, they quickly brought in the right specialists from across Cooper Parry to give us the right expertise.
We’ve also had a lot of change within our own team over recent years but Cooper Parry have made a real effort to get to know the people involved, and this is key to any successful business relationship. Ultimately it’s their commitment to understanding their clients that sets them apart.”
