TAX

We connect the technical and commercial dots to help you get on top of compliance and mitigate future risk, while maximising relief and funding opportunities.

TALKING TAX

Our interconnected Tax team looks at your business and any challenges through multiple lenses, including tax advisory, shareholder tax, wealth management, outsourcing and corporate finance.

Getting on top of Tax has a direct impact, not only on a business’s existence and buoyancy, but also its ability to compete and grow.

There’s a certain breadth of expertise that we as advisers need to support businesses as well as prepare them for the future. We also need to be proactive in addressing Tax affairs to make sure our clients don’t miss out on big planning opportunities.

We’re a fast-growing, entrepreneurial business, and that’s our natural client sweet spot. They love us because we’re not too big to provide the individual attention and close relationship that they need, and we’re not too small to take on large-scale Tax projects. They choose us because our approach to Tax services is holistic, looking at both business and individual shareholder needs across compliance and advice.

We’ll help you save time and money. We’ll give you peace of mind that tax risk and opportunity are properly managed.

Managing Tax risk, why it should be a priority

It may not be the glitziest side of a well-oiled business, but it’s hugely important. Failing to integrate tax considerations into all your key strategic decisions can put the brakes on your plans, leave holes in your strategy, and open up your business to risk.

TUNE UP YOUR TAX STRATEGY

By shifting tax from an afterthought to a driving force and optimising your tax position, you’ll better prepare your business for any economic or policy changes on the horizon, as well as significant events like mergers, acquisitions or sale.

Easier said than done? Maybe. We’ve spoken to hundreds of FDs and shareholders across the UK mid-market. We appreciate you often lack the time, resource, or a tight-knit tailored service from your tax adviser to make it happen. So, we’ve built a holistic tax offering to set that straight.

With a full suite of tax and advisory services, we can become your whole in-house finance team, an integral part, or an extension of it, looking at your business and shareholder aspirations through multiple lenses.

We’ll help you structure your business optimally, make sure tax always has a seat at the table, and help you highlight, manage and mitigate tax risk on all fronts.

While tax strategy will be unique to individual businesses, we’ve noticed 5 key red flags for you to look out for.

Testimonials

“We’ve dealt with Cooper Parry for many years and we’ve always had a good relationship with them. The R&D arm within Cooper Parry has changed, for the better, giving us even further benefit from the tax credits perspective, and giving us improved knowledge that we can apply going forward. The transparency and willingness to share information has been great.

We received improved tax credits for two years’ worth of information provided, once the team’s expert knowledge had been applied – money that we’ll be putting back into R&D. The reports provided were concise and professional. We’d definitely recommend Cooper Parry.”

Reviews

PAUL, JAN 24

“Great service and always timely communication. I feel we have a partner supplier rather than just an auditor”

MEGAN, FEB 24

“We always get a quick reply whenever we have an issue or a query. It was a very good team of auditors that undertook our audit once again – a mixture of continuity and some new faces – and accommodating our tight reporting deadline was much appreciated”

MATT, FEB 24

“My first encounter with the CP audit team and I was impressed. Calm, reliable, organised and ultimately professional. Understanding and sympathetic to our circumstances and keen to work with us to achieve an outcome”

JAMES, FEB 24

“Smooth audit with knowledgeable and friendly staff. I have received great input from both audit partner and manager in my first year as CFO. I have appreciated the pragmatic and flexible approach”

PAMELA, JAN 24

“Robust communication. Excellent support. Supportive business partnership”

MICK, JAN 24

“Always prompt with accurate advice and accounts. Cannot think how you can improve”

MARION, JAN 24

“Audit processes work very well with Inflo and supported well by phone calls or Teams calls throughout the audit process. Outside of audits, advice on any matters financial is usually quick and helpful and never appears to be too much trouble. Any of the audit teams we have worked with throughout the years have always shown the same friendly professionalism that is supportive, fair and informative, which is crucial when and if things don’t always go to plan or unexpected outcomes occur. Thank you very much”

JADE, JAN 24

“The team are always responsive and their approach to audit is refreshingly solution orientated. I already refer them on a regular basis”

ANDY, JAN 24

“Fantastic client service and communication which resulted in a a great job done”

AMANDA, JAN 24

“The team at Cooper Parry are a huge support during a stressful time. They work with our finance department when completing their checks and make the team feel at ease. We have an excellent relationship with the auditors and feel confident in approaching them in advance of our audit for support. Glen, Ben, Harry and the supporting team work hard to understand us and support how we work whilst always considering the ATH and financial regulations. I would 100% recommend Cooper Parry and do regularly”
