BDO appoints two new advisory partners

Accountancy and business advisory firm BDO has grown its advisory expertise with the appointment of two new partners.

Rob McCann is a corporate finance partner in the firm’s Manchester office. He will work with the M&A team across the north, leading the team in Manchester and building upon his experience in the local and national private equity market.

Nick Andrews joins BDO’s London forensics team, based in the firm’s head office in Baker Street. He will focus on developing BDO’s M&A disputes offering, which includes acting as an expert determiner and advisor or expert witness in various disputes.

Since the start of 2019, the firm has appointed 12 new partners and promoted 14 directors to partner, spanning their London and regional offices.

Paul Eagland, managing partner at BDO, said: “Our clients are coming to us with increasingly complex challenges and requirements, so it is crucial that we continue to expand and develop our areas of expertise with appointments like this.

“Private equity remains one of our key areas of focus and Rob’s knowledge and experience will allow us to continue to be experts of the PE market in the north west. Nick’s knowledge of M&A disputes will also be a real asset to our forensics team, and it is fantastic to welcome them both to the firm.”
