Our partners are former engagement leaders at a Big 4 accounting firm. We founded Cooper-Richards to provide expert support at a local level. Today our staff consists of experienced professionals with expertise in IT and SOX compliance, corporate accounting, operational and technology risk management, and business process and documentation. Since inception, we’ve expanded to include clients outside of Colorado but continue to provide the same level of quality driven by our founding principles.
