CM&A has worked closely with leading NetSuite Alliance Partner MacroFin’s founders, Ross Latta and Stephen Campbell in leading the acquisition process by Cooper Parry (CP), the ‘rebels of accountancy’. This marks the second acquisition for CP in the digital and tech space this year, following the recent acquisition of the leading Salesforce consultancy, Cloud Orca.
Working with CM&A, CEO Ross Latta said: “With their understanding of transactions in the consulting sector, CM&A were able to present the unique values and capabilities of our business, structure a deal that worked for sellers and acquirers, as well as facilitating the process rapidly through Heads of Terms to closure.”
MacroFin’s 40 strong team, currently located between London, Manchester and the Philippines, will all migrate as part of the acquisition and join up with new colleagues in CP’s superhubs in London, the Midlands, Manchester and the Thames Valley.
On MacroFin’s journey to this point, Ross also, commented:
“The reason that Steve and I launched MacroFin was that, as two chartered accountants with 10+ years client-side experience, we believed that finance and ERP implementations could, and should, be more successful if they were predominantly finance-led. Truly, we have built a business which is NetSuite for accountants, by accountants. So, it’s no surprise that the business fit with Cooper Parry is a natural one. Not only are they accountants, but they’re also one of the most dynamic, fastest-growing, team-focused accountants around who share our ambition and dedication to growing both our, and our clients’ businesses. Steve and I are incredibly proud of, and grateful to, the team we have built and this move brings a completely new level of opportunity for our team to grow and reach the potential we know it has. We cannot wait see how far we can all go together.”
