The hardest part of building a deep tech business isn't creating the technology. It's turning that technology into a commercial proposition 🚀

Last week, we celebrated the close of VentureCEO Deep Tech, a six-week programme bringing together 14 Seed to Series A founders building the next generation of frontier technologies and category-defining businesses.

Throughout the programme, we explored the challenges that come with scaling deep tech ventures, from commercialisation and IP strategy to fundraising, hiring and finding founder-market fit.

To close the programme, we brought together founders, investors and operators for an honest conversation on the realities of scaling a deep tech business.

A few lessons stood out:
💡 Fall out of love with your technology and fall in love with your customer
💡 The best founders don't just tell technology stories; they tell customer stories
💡 Conviction matters. You don't need every answer today, but you do need a vision that customers, investors and teams can believe in

A huge thank you to all the founders, investors and operators who shared their experiences and made this cohort such a success.

And a special thank you to our partners for supporting the journey.

We can't wait to see what this cohort builds next.

Big news for our future ACA talent at Cooper Parry 🚀

We're proud to share that our internal training programme is now officially accredited with the ICAEW.

For anyone on their journey to becoming an ACA accountant, passing exams is only part of the story 📝

Building professional skills and completing additional structured learning is just as important.

This accreditation means we can now deliver two key elements of the ACA qualification in-house:

💻 Professional Development
✨ Specialised Learning

Everything our students need is now built into one seamless programme. That means:

✅ No separate documentation
✅ No additional external requirements
✅ A more straightforward, streamlined experience

It's all about removing complexity so our students can focus on what really matters.

Developing the skills, confidence and commercial mindset to succeed 📈

We're always looking for ways to do things better. This is another example of how we're evolving our training to support the next generation of CP talent.

That's why TechCFO exists 💥

TechCFO'26 brought together more than 200 CFOs, finance leaders and ecosystem partners from across the VC & PE landscape.

At a time when the role of the CFO is evolving faster than ever, those conversations matter.

Thank you to every CFO and finance leader who contributed to the conversations, connections and sense of community that make TechCFO what it is.

Making Life Count 💙

Last week, the Leeds dealmaking community swapped boardrooms for walking boots, coming together for the YFM Equity Partners Summer Charity Walk in support of Leeds Children's Charity at Lineham Farm.

Behind every mile walked was a simple goal: helping children in need enjoy new experiences, build confidence, and create memories that every child deserves.

A few miles. Plenty of catch-ups. One brilliant community pulling in the same direction. 🤝

Thanks to everyone who laced up their boots, joined the walk, and helped make the day such a success.

Being Bold with Mark Newbold 💥

Mark Newbold's career has never followed the expected path. From 20 years in audit to a Finance Director role in a fast-growing multinational business, he's built his experience by embracing challenges and seeing business from both sides of the table.

Today, that commercial perspective shapes how he supports clients, delivering audits that work around the realities of running a business while helping finance leaders focus on growth, not disruption. 🚀

His advice? Be bold. Invest in technology, build stronger links between finance and operations, and use finance as a driver of decision-making, not just reporting.

"If you're not evolving, you're already behind.” 🚀

That's how Jennifer Brown sees the world of payroll.

Tech moves fast. Compliance shifts. Services change with the world around us.

But as Jen puts it, the core stays the same: a commitment to clients and a commitment to your team 💙

It's a philosophy that's shaped her career and one she's brought to Cooper Parry since joining as Payroll Director earlier this year.

Jen combines technical expertise with a practical, people-first approach. Her focus? Helping clients simplify complexity, strengthen compliance and build payroll solutions that work for their business.

And when she's not talking payroll? You'll probably find her planning her next adventure, taking on a new challenge, or keeping up with her kids and Frank, her very naughty sausage dog 🐶

The future of payroll is in great hands.
