The career changer: Paul Cooper FCPA

Ever thought about moving from public practice into corporate? Paul Cooper FCPA was a public practitioner for 25 years and has moved into corporate governance in the health and manufacturing industries.

As Paul tells INTHEBLACK magazine:

After Cooper sold his practice in 2011, he felt that he had much more to offer than pure accounting. He liked one of the businesses he was working with so much that he bought it.

He was helping the owner of Rinstrum (which manufactures components for the weighing industry) to deal with succession and planning issues and decided that this was where his future lay – with a niche operator that can fill a market gap and that has the capability of selling its wares around the world.

Cooper admits it was quite a leap of faith to go from the pure accounting arena straight into manufacturing, but he had done so much consulting to manufacturing businesses in his role as accountant that it just seemed to be the natural next step.

Cooper regards his CPA qualification as among his most valuable tools. It has allowed him to move from industry into government circles and back again, and to remain relevant to all those he works with.
