UNDERSTANDING THE CHALLENGE FOR FINANCIAL SERVICE BUSINESSES

In a continually evolving sector where FCA regulatory and public scrutiny continues to intensify you need advisers on your side who get it. Advisers that come to the table fully understanding how financial service businesses operate. That get the compliance hurdles and timetables you face. We do.

From our clients we’re hearing that many of our competitors are withdrawing from supporting financial services. Particularly in relation to digital assets. We know that not every firm of accountants wants to take up the challenge of working with this specialist sector. We do.

With our comprehensive suite of services and industry expertise, we look after an impressive range of clients in this sector. Providing audit, advisory and compliance support services. Our team continues to grow. Strengthening our ability to look after your needs with a strong commitment to timetables and hitting deadlines.

Whether you’re a financial institution, a payment service provider on an accelerated growth journey, or working within the world of investments we can help you. Whether you’re a start-up business or an established financial services brand we will have come across the issues you face before. But we’re not complacent, we pride ourselves on really getting to know our clients on an individual basis. Ensuring a bespoke service.

digital assets

The world of digital assets doesn’t stand still. Today it’s cryptocurrencies, NFTs and the blockchain. Everyday there are more solutions. And more regulations follow.

Our digital assets team fill the gap where other advisers can’t or won’t step in to support you. The Cooper Parry culture encourages our people to keep learning. Acquiring more knowledge to support our clients. They’re passionate about the sector. They get the specific risks and challenges you face. Meaning they know how to best assist you.

OUR COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

At Cooper Parry, we’re dedicated to excellence in everything we do. Our team stays abreast of regulatory changes and industry trends. Making sure we provide relevant and timely guidance and advice.

Our Audit Partners, Chris Evans and Andy Jepson have considerable experience of working with FCA regulated businesses. They’ve established one of the UK’s leading accountancy teams dealing with audit assurance, tax and advisory for the crypto and bitcoin sectors.

Whether you need statutory audit, CASS assurance or a safeguarding focussed audit we can help. Or maybe you need assistance with FCA returns. Or do you think your existing advisers simply don’t get digital assets and financial services?

Alongside our financial services audit team our Deals and Tech team work with a number of high growth fintech companies. Helping them on their growth journey. Whatever your needs we’d love to talk. We know we can help.

JACK, DEC 24

“Great clear concise service.”

JUDITH, DEC 24

“Efficient, friendly service “

LIZ, DEC 24

“Although new clients to Cooper Parry therefore the audit took longer than we would like, Tara, Steph and their team have been very good in onboarding us and guiding us through it. Communication has been good between us and CP, and we have now worked out a schedule for the 2024 accounts audit which should mean it will be completed earlier.”

CHRIS, DEC 24

“Good team, very responsive.”

PHIL, DEC 24

“Pragmatic on audit approach, supportive on working through technical areas and overall managed to achieve the deadline. Areas of improvement would be communication to ensure we are all aligned on work requirements, deadlines to work around holidays etc. and where each entity is up to in the audit process so we feel assured we are on track.”

HETAL, DEC 24

“The audit was well run with a pragmatic approach where needed. The presentation of the results was also well managed. “

JAMES, DEC 24

“Regarding the audit process, we found no specific areas requiring improvement. Throughout the audit, the regular calls and discussions proved highly productive, with responses that were clear, concise, and any queries were resolved promptly. There was continuity within the team with Steph and Hannah who were approachable. There were no instances of duplicated information that would necessitate additional work to be undertaken. Completed by the Plan Secretary on behalf of / with collaboration from the Trustee. “

PETE, DEC 24

“Very quick and efficient in responses and extremely effective in dealing we have had so far.”
