MHA appoints audit partner in Manchester

MHA has announced the appointment of Lindsey Shepherd as the new partner of the firm’s audit team in Manchester, supporting clients across the North West. 

Her appointment comes as the firm continues to grow its Manchester office. 

She joins the firm from DJH Mitten Clarke where she started in 2020 as a director to initially establish and lead an office in Manchester.

Prior to that, Shepherd spent the majority of her career at Azets, where she joined as a graduate of the University of Salford. She progressed to director at the firm and worked across the Bolton and Manchester offices, and specialised in advising legal firms. 

In addition to her expertise with legal clients, she also has strong experience across a range of sectors including haulage, manufacturing, leisure and construction businesses.

Karen Hain, partner at MHA, said: “Since opening our Manchester base, the audit team has grown rapidly in the city and it is important that, to support this growth, we continue to develop, raise the bar and attract top talent to our team.

“Lindsey’s appointment will help us to do just that. She has almost two decades of experience advising clients across a range of sectors and is a community board member of the ICAEW, an organisation many of our staff are members of.”

Shepherd added: “Having previously worked with several senior members of MHA’s Manchester’s office, I know that it is a hugely ambitious and supportive team – one that I have an enormous amount of trust in.

“I’ve followed the success of MHA in recent years and I’m excited to be part of that continued growth.”
