As a privately owned and managed business, your drive to succeed is fuelled by your entrepreneurial spirit. You’re not just running a business; you’re building your dream, and every decision you make is geared towards taking it to greater heights. However, navigating the complex landscape of business ownership can be daunting, especially when you’re aiming for growth and expansion. Finding the right type of funding can be challenging – whether that’s in the form of private equity or alternative investment. Or maybe you’re looking to exit your business. Whatever stage you and your business are at there’ll be complex considerations to be made.

Your business goals will be deeply intertwined with your personal aspirations. Whether it’s achieving financial independence, creating a legacy for your family, or simply finding a better work-life balance, we take the time to understand what drives you.

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.”
