YOUR SAY REVIEWS

“Efficient: I had good feedback from my finance team about the CP audit team. Helpful and proactive: I appreciated the support from Katie on cashflow statement and from Justine on accounts prep. Could perhaps be a bit more tuned in to the specific circumstances of a PE-backed business”

“Always prompt and helpful”

“Consistent service and understanding of the client. Building of working relationships and maintaining of key audit personnel annually where possible. Small personal touches distinguishing from the big 4 and co. Having worked with CP for over 25 years in FD and Head of Finance roles I know they deliver what they promise. Our MD probably needs a greater level of exposure to see the mutual benefits in addition but this is not a criticism more a statement of fact as needs more convincing than myself.”

“Cooper Parry other than other practices do things when they say they are going do them. You don’t need to chase. Also the people always seem have time for you as opposed to other firms who are just interested in increasing billable hours.”

“CP are providing all the support necessary to us as an SME. Audit worked well, Partner support great. We probably need to liaise closer on R&D.”

“The audit was efficient and ran smoothly – for a first year audit and fully remote I was very impressed”

“It was a first year audit that went very well. Next year the CP staff won’t have the same learning curve, and hopefully it won’t be a remote audit. So life should get easier.”

“I personally feel that the service we have come to expect from CP over the years has been maintained throughout the pandemic, even with remote working and all the complications that come with it. CP have a great understanding of our business model which is clearly passed onto juniors as they inherit our files, which makes audits infinitely easier.”

“Great service, attentive, good delivery”

“Early days, but: (1) Jeremy tells me the audit went well, (2) the staff on the audit were efficient and friendly, and (3) tasks were completed on time.”

“1. Team and Management is very supportive and responds quickly 2. Always reachable for advice required”

“Consistently meet promises made re: timings and action. Excellent communication and clarity. Knowledgeable and experienced team blended well with youth and an eye on the future. The personal touches to the business relationship lend comfort that each and every client matters, the portrayal of which is much more important due to the times we now operate in and the threats it introduces.”

“Overall an excellent, proactive all round service from both the audit and tax teams. We were surprised and disappointed to receive some very large fee quotations for: Corporate Finance work (3 times other quotes received.) and Personal Trust work (4 times other quotes), which resulted in us placing this work elsewhere. It leaves us questioning the fees we are paying for audit and tax when you get these types of fee quotes.”

“Very intense time at the company and Cooper Parry has been there to support at each turn with a large amount of work completed in a short time. The goal focused approach has been great with the focus on the overall objective and looking at how to get the most done in the shortest time. Cooper Parry has also been very flexible in its approach to cater for our exact needs. Improvements could be the technology used in certain areas such as open requests from various departments. Also, a portal for invoicing would make payment much easier with user permissions for the details would make this process better. Currently various individuals send invoices to various other individuals and these are not processed by accounts payable as don’t reach them in a timely way. Some of the audit staff could do with some additional assistance on complex areas of the audit process. Certain areas of the process could be explained in more clearly for non-finance staff to reduce the burden on the internal finance team.”

“No audit yet this year – but contact and help given so far has been very good – Expect greater level of contact in the coming months.”

“Good communication. Knowledge on actual subjects available.”
