TWO GAME-CHANGING DEALS. DONE ✅ We’re delighted to announce we’ve completed the acquisitions of UHY Hacker Young Manchester LLP and Haines Watts Reading/Thames Valley. The deals welcome 200 more exceptional people to CP, meaning we now have over 1,400 of the industry’s brightest talents across the UK. They’re the ninth and tenth deals we’ve completed in the past 20 months. 🚀 And their fit – culturally, strategically, geographically – couldn’t be better. The humming hotbed of the Northwest has firmly cemented its powerhouse status. And down south, in the UK’s ‘Silicon Valley’, rebellion and fast growth innovators reign supreme. The teams at UHY Hacker Young Manchester and Haines Watts Reading are shining examples of the best both regions have to offer. ✨ And our journey to become the UK’s next-gen professional services group and the #1 adviser to mid-market businesses has huge impetus now we’re together.

A DAY OF GIVING BACK 🩷 🙌 Last Friday we shut down the office, closed our laptops and switched off our phones to take the time to give back to our community. And we do this every single year. ✨ Our people spent their days helping out various different causes and getting stuck into some DIY, gardening, cleaning, assembling gift packages, and even knitting hats for the homeless. The best part? Giving back to our communities, and focusing on what’s important in life. Same again next year? You betcha. ✅ #Community #Charity #GivingBack #MakeLifeCount

CP BAKES 🍰 💫 Our people have been busy baking up a storm ahead of the Macmillan Coffee Mornings. We hosted the annual events across our offices in the Midlands and London. And just take a look at what we've been treated to - it's safe to say we've got some star bakers in our midsts. ⭐️ 🥣 These mornings raise much-needed funds for Macmillan and this time we've also raised some money for our charity of the year, Young Lives vs Cancer. Cake, coffee, a bit of a yap - all whilst doing some good. What's not to like? ☕️ 💗 #MacmillanCoffeeMornings #Charity #GivingBack #InItTogether

Pre-Budget Tax Planning: Don’t Miss Out on Key Opportunities ✅ As we approach the Labour government's Autumn budget, the economic challenges are clear. While the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has ruled out increases to income tax, national insurance, or VAT, other taxes like capital gains and inheritance tax could see significant changes. If these changes happen, they could come into effect quickly. But here’s the good news – you can act now to lock in the current tax reliefs, allowances and rates before any new rules begin. This isn’t about reacting to potential changes – it's about seizing opportunities that are available right now. ⬇️ Whether you’re holding shares, gifting assets, or considering setting up a trust, being proactive could make all the difference.

CAN WE TICK ALL YOUR BOXES? ✅   We understand that a ping pong table isn’t the be-all and end-all.
