Cooper Parry acquires Ihorizon

Cooper Parry has announced that it has acquired accountancy tech firm ihorizon.

Ihorizon is a London-based accounting firm that specialises in innovative accounting and finance solutions designed to help tech start-ups reach their full potential.

Its in-house development team has developed ‘Alpha’, a secure and unified software platform that streamlines payroll, R&D tax credits and monthly reporting.

Cooper Parry works with entrepreneurial, fast growth businesses across the UK to help them grow, get up to speed with their tech and transform their culture. It received backing from Waterland Private Equity in 2022 to accelerate its expansion.

RWK Goodman’s team was led by Ed Hoare and Michelle Waligóra supported by Remy Ormesher and Ken Wong.

Hoare said: “It was great to assist the shareholders on this transaction and bring about the integration of the ihorizon and Cooper Parry’s Tech & High Growth teams, which share many synergies. We are very pleased for our clients and wish Pratik and his team all the best.”

Pratik Sampat, ihorizon CEO, added: “The team at RWK were 100% focused throughout the process and knew exactly what was needed to get to the next stage. They took care of the heavy lifting, kept us fully updated and ensured we focused on what mattered most. They were a pleasure to work with and would be a great partner for any entrepreneur going through an exit.”
