Are you ready to kickstart your career in tech and innovation in 2025? Imagine working with cutting-edge IT and software businesses, surrounded by a team that’s as ambitious and curious as you are.
We’re Cooper Parry’s CP Innovation team – a close-knit group of 40 specialists from diverse backgrounds like engineering, biotech, chemistry, IT, and even astrophysics.
We help clients unlock value through R&D tax incentives and Patent Box relief, working alongside grant providers and patent attorneys.
We’re proud to be a purpose-driven business. As the UK’s largest B Corp certified accountancy firm, we’re committed to making a positive impact beyond profit – measuring our success by how we support people, communities, and the planet.

- Support R&D claims and attend client workshops
- Draft technical project descriptions and reports
- Perform costing calculations and contribute to team initiatives
You’ll be supported every step of the way – by peers, mentors, and even our Partners. We’ll give you structure, but also the freedom to grow at your own pace.
We’re looking for someone with:
- A degree in IT, Computer Science, or Technology
- A process-driven, analytical mindset
- 3 A-levels (BBC or above, including a numerical or business subject)
What’s in it for you?
