Our history

David and Lucy began their careers in the City of London, working at a Big Four accountancy firm advising some of the world’s largest businesses.

 

Over time, their work shifted towards venture-backed start-ups and growing founder-led companies. It quickly became clear that smaller businesses struggled to access the same quality of advice, insight, and service standards available to large corporates.

 

Parry & Parry was founded in 2016 to close that gap — bringing big-firm expertise and disciplined, high-quality service to people building something new.

​

​
