Cooper Parry unveils first ever set of associate partners
In February 2023, Cooper Parry also appointed ex-Deloitte Global MD, Timothy Mahapatra as partner and head of deals
Cooper Parry has revealed its first ever cohort of employees appointed to the newly-created associate partner role.
The accountancy firm said that the new role sits between directors and partners, and is designed to give its people “more recognition, more opportunity for development and well-defined career progression” as it targets five-fold growth over the next five years and scale nationwide.
The first cohort of associate partners features:
- Carolyn Pears, finance
- Nial Chantrill, corporate finance
- Tom Summers, corporate finance
- Salvatore Mingoia, origination
- Helen Scothern, pensions audit
- Andrew Holloway, tech and high growth
- Jake Mortland, tax
- Donna Challinor, innovations
- Bijesh Morjaria, tax
- Marie Smith, Cooper Parry wealth
- Faye Wyles, audit
- Steve Round, transaction tax
- Sharon Kaur, audit.
In February 2023, Cooper Parry also appointed ex-Deloitte Global MD, Timothy Mahapatra as partner and head of deals.
Previously a strategic adviser to CP, Mahapatra will lead and grow CP’s deals business, feeding into its wider growth plans, as well as looking for opportunities to broaden its advisory services and continually deliver more value to clients.
Ben Eason, business development director, will also become a partner from the start of May. After quickly establishing himself as a part of CP’s growth team, Eason has been going through CP’s partner track development process since November 2021.
Ade Cheatham, CEO of Cooper Parry, said: “Massive congratulations to all those who have been promoted and those currently working on the same path for their development. It’s great for them. But talent like this is also great for CP and our clients.
“I’m proud to say we’ve got some of the best people in our industry, and as we continue to grow quickly, rewarding them for their incredible work, attracting fresh new faces and maintaining CP’s one-of-a-kind culture are all hugely important. Creating an associate partner role has been a big step towards that, and I can’t think of a more deserving bunch.”
