What PKF Smith Cooper Systems does

PKF Smith Cooper Systems is a UK-based IT consultancy and authorized Sage provider, structured as an operating division of the PKF Smith Cooper group and headquartered in Derby with an expanding Newcastle office. The company specializes in implementing, supporting, and consulting on Sage 50, Sage 200, and Sage Intacct business software, with Sage Intacct representing its most strategically important cloud-based financial management line. Operating since 2014 and now employing 51-100 staff under Managing Director Chris Smith, the firm has built its practice partly through acquisition, having acquired Uniq Systems Ltd. in 2017 and Price Bailey in 2021.

The business model is services-led, generating revenue primarily through professional services, implementation, and ongoing support for Sage ERP products, with subscription/recurring elements tied to its Sage Intacct division. Its go-to-market is direct and sales-led, with customers characterized as mid-market general business clients seeking cloud-based financial management and accounting solutions; the firm horizontally segments its market rather than focusing on a single vertical.

In its most recent financial year (2025-2026) the company reported record-breaking turnover of £10m, welcomed more than 60 new named clients, and set two all-time-high records for the largest single deal in its history. The Sage Intacct division was the standout performer with 45% growth, exceeding £1m in turnover, while the firm also added 9 staff and continued investment in its Newcastle location. No external funding, public listing, or AI/ML capability is referenced in the available data.
