Azets strengthens London corporate finance team

UK top ten accountancy firm Azets has expanded its London corporate finance team with the appointment of Gaurav Mathur as a corporate finance partner, responding to rising demand for transaction advisory services.

Based at the firm’s London Bridge office, Gaurav joins from PwC, where he spent 13 years in transaction services, most recently as a director, following an earlier role at KPMG. 

He brings extensive experience in financial due diligence and transaction advisory, having worked on more than 200 deals across business services, TMT and industrials.

Gaurav said: “I am very pleased to have joined such a progressive firm as Azets. 

“It is the ideal time to challenge myself further. 

“I’m excited about the journey ahead and hope to use the skills I have gained in my previous roles to continue to provide clients with the exemplary service they have come to expect.  

“I have developed strong skills in finance, accounting, financial analysis and valuation. 

“I enjoy working with diverse and talented teams to deliver high-quality solutions that help clients achieve their strategic objectives and create value.” 

The appointment further strengthens one of the UK’s most active corporate finance advisory teams, supporting clients with buying, selling and raising finance as they pursue growth or exit strategies.

Lee Humble, Azets’ head of UK corporate finance, added: “Gaurav brings a wealth of experience across various sectors which will be of great benefit to the team and our expanding transactional services offering.

“Following another active year in the market, our outlook remains strong on both the buy and sell sides of deals and Gaurav’s appointment highlights our continued investment in talent and our dedication to driving Azets’ growth. 

“We are now recognised as fourth most active financial advisor both nationally and in London, and with Gaurav’s deep skillset I look forward to having more opportunity to offer advice to some of our larger cross border buy-side clients.”
