“Cooper Parry handle our audit and the experience has been excellent. Our business has grown significantly in recent years, both in scale and complexity. We needed an audit partner with real depth in the automotive sector. Cooper Parry’s reputation for motor trade expertise was a key reason we came to the firm and the team have more than lived up to it.
The team genuinely understands the industry. Every person we deal with has a solid grasp of the motor trade, our systems, and the unique complexities within our balance sheet. That knowledge has made a real difference. It saves time, reduces the volume of questions, and gives us confidence that the audit is being handled efficiently and accurately.
We follow an interim and final audit approach. The interim is completed remotely, and the main audit involves the team being on site for around two weeks. That combination works very well for us. When you are dealing with large reconciliations or more complex areas, sometimes it is easier to walk things through face to face, and the team are always proactive in getting whatever information they need directly.
What really stands out is their organisation. There is a clear timetable that everyone works to, and it feels like a genuine partnership rather than two separate parties trying to get through a process. They are also a pleasure to have around. Every member of the team is competent, polite, professional, and respectful of the fact they are working in our space. They ask for information in the right way and approach everything with a positive attitude.
Cooper Parry feels like the right fit for a business of our size and complexity, and the quality of the team reflects that. It has been a really good experience from start to finish.”
