Cooper Parry

MORE BANK HOLIDAYS PLEASE 💔 At Cooper Parry, we've loved the many, many bank holidays we've recently had. We loved them so much, that we've actually started a petition to make the first Monday of every month a bank holiday. Only joking. But wasn't it nice to have a Monday that didn't feel like.. well, Monday? Much like marmite; you either love Mondays, or you hate them. 🍯 For the go-getters in us, they're the start of a new week. A chance to smash it out of the park. But for others (we see you Garfield), it's the end of the weekend. Boo. However you feel about Mondays, we'd love to know what helps you power through them. Because at the end of the day, they are here to stay. And it's a while before the next Bank Holiday comes around. And if you truly despise them, you could come work for us. 👀 Our flexible working and open holiday policies could probably help you make your Mondays just a bit more pleasant. ✨ Whether that's taking an extra 30 minutes on your lunch break to enjoy some fresh air. Or starting a little bit earlier to have an earlier finish. Or taking a Monday off to have a longer weekend. The world's your oyster. Now, we know what you're thinking. 'Does anybody actually get any work done?" There's plenty of reading material on our website on how this all works. And you can ask us anything you'd like to about it below. You can take a look at it all by clicking the 'Visit Website' button on our profile. #Mondays #Poll #People #Productivity #BankHoliday

Prioritisation. Incredibly challenging when running a business. 💥 But we at Cooper Parry truly believe ESG should be at the top of your list, and infusing your business strategy with ESG processes doesn’t have to be time intensive. ⏰ It’s becoming increasingly obvious that companies trying to cut corners or ignore the need for ESG will be left behind both commercially and legally. However, if you or your team need anymore convincing, Gemma has written an article with 6 key reasons why ESG should be a priority for you. 🌱 Check it out: https://lnkd.in/e4xccYZk #Sustainability #ESG #BusinessPriority #Strategy

It's World Entrepreneurs' Day. 🌍 Here at CP, we love entrepreneurs. They're what propel business. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. 365 days a year. And we couldn't be more in awe of this community. ❤️️ We're inspired by collaborations with fellow leaders and businesses. Which is why we ran a campaign talking directly to them. Our aim was to inspire entrepreneurs and celebrate rebels. ⚡️ And over the years, we've had the opportunity to curate shedloads of insightful content - including articles, videos and podcasts. We've also been lucky enough to host some awesome events too (Rebelution ring any bells?), bringing together like-minded entrepreneurial business founders, CEOs and maverick leaders, who say it how it is with no bullshit platitudes. Every successful business starts with a vision. But as we know, there are many obstacles to face. We have tonnes of advice to share from leading entrepreneurs and how they made their dreams a reality. So, to celebrate World Entrepreneurs' Day, here are some of our favourites. 👇 You can read all of their stories by clicking on the 'Visit Website' button on our profile, and following 'Entrepreneurial Insights'. Do you have an entrepreneur you're in awe of? We'd love to know in the comments. 💬 #Entrepreneurship #WorldEntrepreneurDay #Growth #Insights #Community

IT'S NATIONAL TELL A JOKE DAY 🎭 Here's one for you. Q: Have you heard about the fun accountants? A: Me neither. We've been guilty of this. The Cooper Parry that you see today isn't the same firm we used to be. That was until a group of ambitious, driven and competitive 30-somethings came along. They'd left the Big 4 and national firms to get away from politics, red tape, greyness and corporate boll**ks. Here was a group that was quite happy to stick two fingers up to convention. Screaming the mantra of 'we don't go grey'. And so, the revolution began. 💥 We're now hailed as 'The Rebels of Accountancy'. We're here to ‘Disrupt, Lead and Make Life Count’ – for our people, clients, communities, and the planet. Along the way, we’ve been crowned no.1 in the Accountancy Age Mid-Tier Power Index 2022, and the no.1 ‘Accountancy Firm to Work For in the UK’ to boot. And our multi-award-winning culture means that our clients get to build relationships with vibrant, inquisitive and switched-on people. ✨ We’re building the next-gen accountancy firm as the undisputed mid-market heavyweight. All whilst being the largest accountancy firm to be B Corp certified. The thing is, we're not done yet. We’re always evolving. Always striving to be the best version we can be. This is us. And we abso-bloody-lutely love it. ❤️ So next time you hear a joke saying all accountants are boring - think of us. And if you don't believe it, check out 'A Rebels Tale', where you can flick through the soaring highs and rib-rattling lows of our story. We also have a 3-minute video on the page to spice things up. 🔥 Find it by clicking on the 'Visit Website' button on our profile - and click on 'This Is Us'. Whilst, we're at it - let us hear your best accounting jokes below. ⬇️ #NationalTellAJokeDay #Culture #OurStory #People #Accountancy #ThisIsUs #Entrepreneurship
