“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.”
