Cooper Parry launches new tech team
East Midlands headquartered accountancy firm Cooper Parry is launching a technology and high growth team in London, headed up by new partner, Steve Leith.
Leith joins after spending 20 years at Grant Thornton in London, leading its fast growth technology team.
He said: “I joined Cooper Parry because of the clear and tangible cultural alignment between this firm, the technology sector and high growth companies. Founders, entrepreneurs and CFOs need advisors and teams who can relate to the journey they’re on, understand the ecosystem in which they operate, and have a strong desire to be part of, and support, their growth.
“The Technology and High Growth team in London will be partnering with accelerator programmes, co-working spaces, founder and CFO groups, and working alongside venture capital and private equity funds as preferred advisors to their portfolio companies. So, if your company, programme or portfolio is looking for support from audit and tax specialists with experience and a strong interest in the high growth tech space, let us know.”
Cooper Parry chief executive, Ade Cheatham, said: “In bringing in Steve to lead this team in London, we have someone who is highly aware of the depth of service and support scale-ups need, and someone who is highly experienced at bringing the ‘whole firm’ to clients from Seed & Series A stage, to later stage private equity.
“Steve deals with the challenges of rapidly scaling high growth companies and has a strong network in the space across the founder and investor ecosystem. We’re hugely committed to the tech sector and very well aligned culturally to support Founders and CFOs of high growth companies in London and beyond.”
