MHA promotes London-based tax director to partner

Accountancy and advisory firm MHA has announced the promotion of international tax director Jonathan Dowding to partner in its London office. 

The appointment is one of five new partner promotions at the firm in recent weeks. In his new role, Dowding will be responsible for supporting corporate clients with cross-border restructuring and global expansion. 

Dowding first joined the firm in 2021 from EY as senior tax manager, and later became international tax director in 2023.

His role involves advising listed and private equity-backed organisations on international tax issues, as Dowding specialises in cross-border restructuring, international expansion and complex UK tax matters.

Dowding also works within the global tax solutions team. He collaborates with Baker Tilly International colleagues to support multinational clients across more than 140 jurisdictions.

Chris Danes, tax partner at MHA, said: “During his time with MHA, Jonathan has gained a strong reputation for advising some of our largest clients on their most complex cross-border tax issues.

“His approach, and the relationships he has built with our Baker Tilly International colleagues, are a brilliant example of how MHA supports clients – through long-term relationships built on trust and international expertise that helps them grow.”

He added: “His promotion will further strengthen our International Tax team and support the continued growth of our London office, as well as MHA as a whole, in the coming years.”

Dowding said: “During the five years I have been with MHA, the company has seen impressive growth, both at the London office and nationally.

“That growth has been driven by the relationships we have with our clients and the trust they place in us. Whatever their size, business leaders value personal relationships built on trust and I’m excited to continue championing this approach and contribute to the ongoing success of MHA as part of my new role.”
