Cooper Parry's Tech and High Growth team support venture and PE-backed businesses through the challenges of rapid scaling - starting from Seed/Series A, through Venture rounds and into PE and exit transactions.Our specialist team works with Founders, CFOs and Boards of early stage, scale-up and high growth businesses, navigating challenges spanning finance, strategy, technology, and fundraising.We are breaking the mould of your average accounting and advisory firm. The Big 6 firms are struggling for capacity, struggling to retain motivated people, and are unable to deliver the close relationship-led service that scale-ups need at fee levels that makes sense. We are hearing this right across the UK. The landscape of accounting and advisory firms with appropriate expertise, agility and capacity to support scale-ups and fast growth companies is changing. Cooper Parry is filling the gap for scale-ups with a different approach that is well aligned to the mindset in the high growth and venture-funded community.Cooper Parry’s own growth and disruptive approach has been powered by our own people and our own culture. We are challenging grey. We are challenging boring. We are challenging status quo. We are finding and retaining individuals who have an appetite for growth and disruption just as the scale-ups in the technology community do.We help businesses with a range of issues including fundraising, planning for efficient corporate structures, rapid international expansion, planning for transactions (mainly new equity financing), employee and founder equity participation schemes, maximising R&D incentives, founder wealth planning and exit planning, in addition to the delivery of accounting, audit and compliance services.

External management consultant working with Red Earth Systems on a variety of tax, accounting and business support. We looks at the structure of the business from an operational view, and developed it into a more tax efficient model. We helped save the company £££'s in tax, and provided ad-hoc advice when required.

A small COVID project set up by myself and a friend. We sold eco-friendly, sustainable and socially responsible beauty products both to consumer and business. After I moved to London to further my career in tax, we shut down the company and this was ran as a sole trade venture by my co-founder.
