Your business has grown. Has your accountant?

COPA provides accounting, proactive tax planning, business strategy and outsourced finance director support for entrepreneurs scaling established digital businesses. From your next stage of growth to a future exit, have a financial partner at the table. We discuss growth plans, challenge decisions and consider the financial and tax implications of your longer-term goals.

Our best-fit clients have outgrown basic accounting support and want a more proactive relationship with their accountant. We typically support businesses turning over £100k–£10m, although turnover is a guide rather than an automatic eligibility rule. Fit depends on how your business operates and the support you need, rather than an industry label alone.

Based in Manchester and working with businesses across the UK, we combine reliable accounting and proactive tax planning with business strategy and growth advisory. Strategy meetings, budgets, forecasts and outsourced finance director support are scoped to the agreed engagement. Book a Discovery Call to discuss your business and the support you need.

Frequently asked questions

What types of businesses do you specialise in?

We support entrepreneurs scaling established digital businesses. Our best-fit clients have outgrown basic accounting and want proactive tax planning, a sounding board for growth strategy and financial leadership as they build towards their longer-term goals.

Can you help us plan for growth or a future exit?

Yes. We can help you consider the financial and tax implications of scaling, hiring, investment and preparing for a future exit. We discuss your goals, reporting and business structure, and coordinate with legal or transaction specialists where needed. The scope is agreed with you; we do not promise a sale, valuation or tax outcome.

What size businesses do you work with?

We typically work with businesses turning over £100k–£10m. Turnover is a guide; we'll discuss your business and accounting needs to assess whether we're a good fit.

Can you take over from our existing accountant?

Yes, where the engagement is suitable. We'll explain the information and access needed and outline the handover process.

How are you different from a traditional accountant?

We combine reliable accounting and proactive tax planning with conversations about business strategy and growth. Our advisory and outsourced finance director support can help you challenge plans, assess investment and turn financial information into decisions. Services and meeting frequency depend on the agreed engagement.

Can COPA act as our outsourced finance director?

Yes. We can provide outsourced finance director support alongside your accounting, bringing budgets, cash-flow forecasts and performance reviews into discussions about strategy, hiring and investment. We agree the scope, reporting, meeting frequency and fees with you; these services are not automatically included in every accounting package.

How much does COPA cost?

Our fees depend on the services required and the complexity of your business. Explore our transparent pricing or speak with us to understand the right level of support.

Do we need to operate in a particular industry?

No. Fit is about how your business operates, the stage it has reached and the support you need, rather than an industry label alone. Speak with us about your business so we can assess whether our experience and services are a good match.
