Cooper Parry announces two new acquisitions

Cooper Parry has announced the acquisition of two companies, Ihorizon and Acclivity, as it aims to create a platform for its tech and high growth (THG) team.

Ihorizon is an accounting company focused solely on the tech startup ecosystem, while Acclivity is a boutique advisory firm specialising in accountancy, tax and consultancy to entrepreneurs and high growth early stage businesses.

The additional 40+ specialists mean that its THG team has grown from a standing start to over 100 people strong in just two years.

Ade Cheatham, Cooper Parry CEO, said: “These two deals reinforce our determination to disrupt the Mid-tier like no other. We’ve been bold with our ambitious growth plans and these two high quality firms give us an amazing start to the year. The culture and talent within the firms are a great fit for CP. They also add a brilliant new dynamic to our fast-growing presence in the THG space.”

Steve Leith, head of THG, added: “Bringing Ihorizon and Acclivity into CP means our specialist team can now deliver a full life-cycle solution from startup through scaleup and into exit. There’s no other equivalent team in the Mid-tier or the Big 4 operating at this scale and so deeply inside the high-growth ecosystem. Startups will be able to make the seamless transition from a specialist digital-first solution into full service scaleup support specifically designed for venture stage companies.”
