CONNECTING WITH EUROPE. CONNECTING WITH THE UK.
We’ve got significant experience of carrying out audits for UK subsidiaries of overseas companies.
We have great relationships with the European and overseas offices of the Big 4 accountancy firms. They refer work into Cooper Parry when their UK based counterparts aren’t able to take on the work. Whether that’s down to capacity or price point.
We help mid-market businesses on their annual audits, tax structuring and returns. Our specialism is working with UK-based and multinational businesses of £10m – £200m turnover.
Alongside this we also audit larger businesses with turnover exceeding £1.2bn and business listed on AIM in the UK. Our experience covers a range of sectors including manufacturing, engineering, retail, construction and property, and technology-based companies.
We’ve created an audit process like no other, focused on collaboration and technology. We’re experts on the latest accountancy standards and making businesses more efficient. And to go with this expertise, we have a big team that makes quick decisions.
WORKING WITH OVERSEAS PARENT COMPANIES. WORKING WITH UK SUBSIDIARIES
We get why the UK is an attractive home to a growing number of subsidiaries of overseas companies. It offers a significant consumer market with an international reputation as a great place to do business.
We also understand that the parent company will want an experienced auditor that understands regulatory compliance not just in the UK but how it applies to them. Communication and coordination is key particularly when working across time zones. The use of technology and secure data sharing with the potential complexities relating to transfer pricing and intracompany transactions are an important consideration.

REVIEWS
BSAP, JUNE 25
“Great communication.”
“Wonderful."
LAURA, JUNE 25
“Although the service we have received has been extremely good, there has been long delays in partner reviews.”
“We're sorry you've experienced some delays - let's work together in future to relieve these issues."
GARETH, JUNE 25
“Great relationship with Audit Partner and Audit Manager which means resolutions are reached quickly on difficult and complex issues. The accounts are put together in an efficient and well presented manner. The audit team generally adopt a logical and pragmatic approach. Only real negatives were that Kennedy audit was a more a drawn out process than perhaps it needed to be. Reconciling the consolidated accounts back to the Cooper Parry calcs was complex and there were some small discrepancies. As discussed with the Audit Partner I do have some concerns on the level of fees.”
“Thanks for the feedback Gareth - we'll reach out again directly to address your concerns."
AATAP, JUNE 25
“Great conference, helpful team and super service. Thank you.”
“Brilliant to hear."
CHERILYN, JUNE 25
“The account were turned around quickly, and we were kept up to date with the progress of the audit”
“Brilliant to hear."
LUCIE, MAY 25
“Easy communication, always get back to me promptly, provide advice when needed, like the Inflo system very user friendly.”
“Fabulous Lucie, thank you."
HAYLEY, MAY 25
“The recent external audit and financial statement preparation were executed with professionalism and thoroughness. The auditor team demonstrated strong technical expertise and diligence, ensuring the process was both comprehensive and transparent. Their approach to testing, particularly in collaboration with the ASCL PD team during the first week, was highly effective and contributed to a smooth progression of the audit work, especially given its proximity to the annual conference. One area of improvement would be the timeline planning. The current schedule presents significant pressure in ensuring all necessary work is completed within tight deadlines. We have already discussed the potential benefits of moving some of the audit activities forward and setting clear dates in advance. Proactively scheduling key milestones would allow for better resource allocation and smoother execution. Another area of improvement would be the team working with their internal colleagues to check the partial VAT and advise on the changes to make for the next financial year. Additionally, the format and content of the audit findings report received positive feedback from elected officers. Its clarity and structure enabled effective review and discussion, reinforcing its value in financial oversight. Overall, the service provided was impressive, and the auditors’ commitment to delivering a high-quality review is appreciated. With a few refinements to planning and scheduling, the process could become even more efficient in future audits.”
“What valuable, detailed feedback - most appreciated."
PAULINE, MAY 25

“We love working with you too."

“Great feedback, thanks for taking the time to respond."
EDWARD, MAY 25

“'Relaxing' is such an amazing compliment! Thanks"
