He will work across PKF’s London, Leeds and Manchester offices. His role will involve providing debt advice to businesses, helping them to secure funding from a wide range of lenders.

Clarkson hosts regular seminars on credit, debt and working capital, and sits on the Advisory Board of the Chartered Institute of Credit Management.

Stephen Goderski, partner and head of the Advisory team, said: “Brendan is well known in the credit management industry for his strong relationships and his ability to find commercial solutions to complex problems. These are both attributes that we value at PKF, and we are confident that he will be a natural fit here.
