“Working within the construction and water sectors presents a unique set of operational, regulatory, and commercial challenges, particularly as part of a larger international group. Our business is quite different from many others within the group so it’s important to work with advisers who take the time to understand what makes us unique.
The Cooper Parry team demonstrated a strong understanding of our business, our stakeholders and the wider group environment. Tailoring their audit approach to reflect how we operate rather than applying a standard process. Over the past four years they’ve built a collaborative and constructive relationship with us. Supporting the business through a significant period of growth.
Their approach goes well beyond statutory compliance. They combine technical expertise with a practical commercial mindset, providing robust assurance while offering valuable constructive challenge and valuable insight where appropriate. Just as importantly the audit is always well planned. We work to demanding reporting deadlines and the Cooper Parry team takes the time to plan the process with us, ensuring everything is lined up early so we can deliver efficiently and on time.
Despite our teams being spread across Scotland and England, communication is consistently clear, timely and collaborative. The team embraces technology and modern ways of working so the audit process doesn’t rely on everyone being in the same room.
Their professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to understanding our business have made them a trusted partner. They provide assurance that is both rigorous and genuinely value-adding.”
