With a "rebellious, entrepreneurial spirit," Cooper Parry has never been the type to blend in.
The UK's fastest-growing accountancy firm, with a Derby HQ and offices in London and Birmingham, gives its team of more than 600 employees the ultimate flexibility. They get unlimited leave, are trialling a four-day working week and can 'Work from Anywhere, Anytime, Forever.'
For Cooper Parry, it's "about outputs, not hours worked," so people can take holidays as and when they like. All the firm asks is that their decisions align with one of its core values, 'in it together,' ensuring they don't negatively impact colleagues.
As long as they get their work done, staff can choose their 'office,' whether it's Cooper Parry's offices – "some of the country's coolest workplaces," the gym, the café, a campervan in the Scottish Highlands or a Spanish beach.
And the trial of a shortened working week is proving successful – a conscious effort to reduce the time staff spend at work while maintaining their pay.
The 'in it together' ethos extends to all elements of the business. Nobody at the firm has an office – not even the CEO. And everyone is assigned to a values-themed house. There are challenges with points as prizes to encourage friendly competition and team-building across the business.
I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
With medical and dental insurance, a healthcare cash plan, 24/7 access to a GP, sports clubs and fitness classes, staff are supported to stay well. They can also access a digital health support app to track their health, get personalised insights and recommendations and engage with others facing challenges like menopause, cancer or fertility issues.
This job is good for my own personal growth
Employees are recognised for the unique skills they bring. The firm focuses on helping them develop in areas they're good at and offering roles that play to their strengths and unlock their potential. Cooper Parry's L&D offer isn't just about sending people on courses but broader personal development, such as through board breaking and firewalking.
This organisation has a strong social conscience
Being B Corp Certified cements the firm's commitment to the environment and society. It promises to volunteer 365 days a year, including a 'Community Day' where all offices close. Staff can help wherever they like or through the 'On Hand' partnership supporting local schools, hospices, homeless shelters, food banks, and the elderly.

“We are absolutely delighted that we have achieved 3 star accreditation once again. This past 12 months has not been without it's challenges; however throughout it all the people of Cooper Parry have pulled together, stronger than ever. Proving that a great culture is about so much more than a great office or super perks, it's about the shared values and vision of everyone at Cooper Parry, working together to Disrupt, Lead and Make life count, when it really matters.”
