Cooper Parry acquires third firm in two months

Accountancy firm Cooper Parry (CP) has completed its third high profile deal since February.

CP has just acquired successful London-based financial planning business Future Perfect to become part of the Cooper Parry Wealth family.

This follows two recent deals in the tech and high growth sector: ihorizon - one of the UK 's leading early stage accounting players and Acclivity, a boutique advisory firm specialising in accountancy, tax and consultancy to entrepreneurs and high growth early stage businesses.

All three deals underpin CP 's commitment to ambitious growth plans through the acquisition of high quality specialist firms.

All three London deals boost the total talent headcount to over 540, in the same month as CP becomes the largest UK accountancy firm to attain B Corp status.

Ade Cheatham (pictured), Cooper Parry CEO, said: “It 's been an incredibly fast start to the year and we 're on a roll. This Future Perfect deal is another sign of Cooper Parry 's commitment to size and scale through the PE-backed acquisition of high calibre firms - who are the right fit - to help drive our ambitious client-first growth. ”

Stephen Jones, Cooper Parry Wealth CEO commented: “Right from the first tentative conversations with Future Perfect, we realised there was a genuinely likeminded approach. A proper connection. Both firms share a very similar philosophy. As a result, the client experience should be very smooth from the word go. ”

Nick Crowe, co-founder of Future Perfect said: “In recent years, we 've had a good deal of interest from other businesses. We have always had some key non-negotiables. Cooper Parry Wealth ticked every box - and plenty more. They are well-established, credible and will provide our client base with a perfect new home. ”
