Harries said: “Joining Cooper Parry felt like the perfect move in my career. I’m passionate about helping professional service firms operate with clarity, confidence, and impact and CP’s bold, innovative approach really resonates with me. 

“I’m excited to bring my experience to a team that’s growing fast and reshaping the future of audit across the South.”   

Another development within the team includes Callum Henderson’s promotion to Audit Director for Tech & High Growth. Henderson has been with Cooper Parry for 18 months.

Cooper Parry partner and Audit regional head Gary Staunton stated: “We know growing businesses don’t just want an auditor who ticks boxes. They want a partner who understands their business, hits deadlines, and prioritises their audit.  

“That’s exactly what we’re building in the South – a team of ambitious specialists who combine technical excellence with fresh thinking. Underpinned by Cooper Parry’s culture of innovation, we’re here to add real value, not just compliance.”
