Cooper Parry, the UK’s ‘rebels of accountancy’ recently wrapped up a stellar year, announcing 13% organic growth, with revenue surpassing £34m.

To continue this trajectory, first quarter results underline record-breaking revenue growth of 48%. All teams are delivering impressive YOY growth – with Corporate Finance concluding their biggest ever deal and Audit (up 22%), Tax (up 17%) and Wealth (up 30%) driving the firm-wide success.

The news follows hard on the heels of massive acceleration in the entrepreneurial tech space. Driven by the successful launch of the new Tech & High Growth team by two ex-Grant Thornton partners, Steve Leith and James Peck, the firm is building the #1 team focused on the scale-up space.

Working with founders and CFOs, the fast-growing team is collaborating with a wide ecosystem of accelerators, investors, and networks to support high growth companies. These include partnerships with Tech Nation (Upscale 6.0 and 7.0), Crowdcube, Superscript, Cap Desk and StartUp CFO.

As part of a dynamic post-pandemic re-opening, Cooper Parry has also taken cool new office space in Shoreditch to house the 45 strong London team. The firm’s award-winning Wealth Management and Corporate Finance teams are also strongly represented in the new space.

Across the total team of 440+ (10% up YOY) working from three UK hubs (Castle Donington, Solihull and London), as well as from anywhere/anytime, Cooper Parry has added 83 new talents, as well promoting more than 10% of the team – all during the pandemic. And just recently, Cooper Parry welcomed on board 57 new graduates, trainees, placements and school leavers.

Cooper Parry, CEO, Ade Cheatham said:

“The past 18 months have been monumental for CP. At the start, we acted superfast, pivoting swiftly to deliver our clients the right experience for the strangest of times. We then took the brakes off equally quickly to turbo charge our growth. Attracting top talent and only focusing on key areas where we can lead is the key driver.”
