The Big 6 firms are struggling for capacity. They’re struggling to retain motivated people. And they’re unable to deliver the close, relationship-led service that scale-ups need, at fee levels that make sense.
We’re hearing this right across London and the UK’s other major growth cities. The landscape of accounting and advisory firms with appropriate expertise, agility and capacity to support scale-ups and fast growth companies has shifted. And now, CP Futures is filling the gap for scale-ups with a refreshing approach and a mindset that has all the hallmarks of the high growth and venture-funded community.
At the heart of our disruptive nature? Our people – and the incredible culture they’ve built.
We’re challenging grey. We’re challenging boring. We’re smashing every accountancy stereotype to smithereens. And we’re championing our peoples’ engagement as the must-have ingredient in an irresistible service.
That’s how we’ll attract and retain top talent, continue to wow our clients, and work with more and more high growth companies along the way. Because it’s you we see ourselves in. And we know that shared mindset can go a long, long way.
Steve Leith, Head of Scale Up & High Growth:
“A CFO who was experiencing difficulty with a Big 4 audit firm found his way to me via the StartupCFO network. They had an excellent business, achieving significant growth metrics, but he needed the audit done well, at speed, by people that cared and understood in equal measure, for a price that was relative to their size and stage.
“He got that from us. But more than that, we also got to work developing a tax agenda that deals with the now and plans for the future – touching on transfer pricing, employee incentives, maximising R&D claims, planning international IP and tax jurisdiction issues. We knew how to deal with that conversation through one lens and tackle those points in the right way – proportionate to the speed the business is growing.
“We grease the wheels. We don’t slow you down. That’s how we operate.”
