MHA grows Manchester corporate finance team

Accountancy and advisory firm MHA has strengthened its Manchester corporate finance team with the appointments of Ralph Walker-Moretti, Daisy Stott and Jake Dyas.

Ralph joins as corporate finance manager from Azets, where he spent two years in a lead advisory role. 

Ralph said: “I wanted to be part of a growing team and work alongside highly experienced professionals who I can learn from. 

“I’m looking forward to contributing to the continued growth of the corporate finance team, both nationally and internationally as part of Baker Tilly International.”

Daisy, appointed corporate finance assistant manager, also joins from Azets, while Jake comes on board as a corporate finance executive, having previously been part of PwC’s audit team.

Daisy added: “I chose MHA because the firm has a people first culture and a strong reputation, particularly for the leadership shown by the partnership team and its specialism in corporate finance.”

Jake added: “I’ve been impressed with MHA’s ambitious growth plans and goal to become a top 10 UK professional services firm.”

These appointments follow internal moves including Francis McGuigan transitioning from audit to corporate finance within MHA’s growing transaction services team. 

With recent additions to the team, MHA now has more than 40 corporate finance specialists across the UK offering lead advisory, due diligence, capital markets and valuation services.

Francis added: “It’s great to be given the opportunity to join the corporate finance team after first developing my knowledge in the audit team. 

“At MHA, I feel like there are no limits and I’m supported to develop the career I want to have.” 

Andrew Feeke, partner and head of MHA’s corporate finance team, said: “Our growth over recent years has seen us become a stand-out mid-market corporate finance advisory firm in the UK and, as a Baker Tilly International member firm, part of a globally united team of corporate finance specialists who provide long term close support for clients, particularly on complex transactions and those with a cross-border element.

“We’re continuing to grow the team at all levels and in all our UK locations. 

“Ralph, Daisy and Jake are talented individuals who add strength in depth and will be a real asset to our clients both in the region and as our North West team supports the firm’s wider national corporate finance offering.  

“In addition, we have monitored the progress of Francis in his audit role over a period of time ahead of the transfer to our transaction services team and we are delighted to provide Francis with the opportunity to join the team and continue his career development within the MHA family.”
