We’ve been hailed ‘The Rebels of Accountancy’. Sure, that sounds like a contradiction. But that’s the point. In a traditionally stand-offish industry, conformity is mediocrity. And we’ve never been the type to do that. Ever.
With a maverick, entrepreneurial spirit at our core, we’re here to ‘Disrupt, Lead and Make Life Count’ – for our people, clients, communities, and the planet.
Browse these pages and you’ll get a feel for what we do: from Audit, Tax, Tech & High Growth and Outsourcing and Wealth, Deals, Service Charge and Pensions Audit.
More than this, you’ll get a feel for how we do it – and that’s the clever alchemy bit. Our multi-award-winning culture and wellbeing program attracts the most talented people (1,150 of them and counting). At the same time, our inspiring workplaces and innovative work practices, including a four-day week trial and ‘Work from Anywhere. Anytime. Forever’, empower them to consistently be at the top of their game.
We’re building the next-gen professional services firm’ as the undisputed mid-market heavyweight. One that’s fully integrated, totally scaled and tech-enabled for dynamic growth.
And we do all this as the largest accountancy firm to be B Corp Certified.

OUR CULTURE
Our culture is at the heart of everything we do. It’s our personality. Our energy. The invisible, inimitable glue that makes CP, CP.
Our culture shapes how we work and interact with each other, our clients and our communities. Built on trust, autonomy and high-performance, it attracts the best people to us and gives them the flexibility to make incredible things happen.
Over the last 10 years, our culture has won a string of UK and European awards, and we’ve become a permanent feature in the UK’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list.

Our values are the guiding principles of CP. They define who we are as people. The specific behaviours we look for in all that we do. They’re how we interact with each other and our clients. They attract like-minded people to us and weed out those that don’t fit. And we hold them above all else.
BE BRAVE
We are adventurous, show entrepreneurial spirit, take smart risks and set outrageously big goals. We experiment. We dare to try new things with little fear of failure. We take tough decisions, push back and always challenge the status quo. We’re candid and fearless in calling out actions that work against our values and culture.
PLAY ALL IN
We’re filled with passion, energy, and an irrepressible enthusiasm to get things done. We compete hard to win, with almost limitless belief. We dream big and imagine the unimaginable. We have an inner hunger, we move fast and always place big bets.
KEEP LEARNING
We’re passionately curious and thrive on change. Every morning we get up, searching for a new way – a better way. We’re independent thinkers and we take ownership for our own development. Standing still either as a business or individually isn’t an option. We never stop growing, always questioning, always adapting, always stretching – reaching for more than we ever thought possible. Our capacity to grow knows no boundaries.
BE NICE
We treat others well. We trust and are trusted. We play it straight. We’re candid and honest. No talking behind backs or ‘throwing stones’. No bitching, moaning or groaning. We’re authentic and real. We show humility and vulnerability. Acting with integrity, we take responsibility for past actions, admit mistakes and fix them.
IN IT TOGETHER
All for one and one for all. Celebrating every success, big or small. There’s no place for egos, politics or silo thinking. We search for and apply the best ideas – and share knowledge – regardless of the source. We treat the business as if it’s our own because we care deeply about CP. It doesn’t matter who you are – just what you do!

People. Planet. Profit. The three priorities in our push for sustainability on all fronts, as we use our growth to improve and increase the impact CP has, Beyond Business.
From the Environment (we’re proud to be the UK’s largest accountancy B Corp) and our multi-award-winning Culture to our Diversity & Inclusion team and our firm-wide Volunteering days, each piece in the puzzle gets people better educated, and helps us build a better tomorrow.
