Cooper Parry continues acquisition trail

Accountancy firm Cooper Parry has completed its third acquisition deal in as many months.

The Castle Donington-based practice has bought out financial planning business Future Perfect which is headquartered in London and will now operate under the group's Cooper Parry Wealth division.

This follows recent deals to acquire early-stage accountancy firm ihorizon and Acclivity which specialises in accountancy, tax and consultancy to entrepreneurs and high-growth, early-stage businesses. The three buyouts boost the group's headcount to more than 540 staff.

Cooper Parry's chief executive Ade Cheatham 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 100 per cent commitment to size and scale through the private equity-backed acquisition of high-calibre firms, which are the right fit, to help drive our ambitious client-first growth."

Sue Royle, co-founder of Future Perfect, added: "We were really impressed by the dynamic culture and ambition to be a leading financial planning force in the UK.

"It's clear that everything's in place to deliver an enhanced experience for our clients. I can't wait for this new chapter to begin."
