Andy has an established background in Corporate Finance, and extensive experience of Lead Advisory and Due Diligence assignments, including acquisitions, disposals, valuations, fund raising and financial modelling across a variety of business sectors and a range of deal sizes.   At Shorts, Andy’s role will be to strengthen the firm’s Corporate Finance offering whilst continuing to assist his clients with the ongoing provision of meaningful management information, allowing them to make considered strategic decisions.

Paul Beeson, Shorts’ Senior Partner comments “ Andy is a fantastic appointment for the firm, as he adds real strength to what is already an established and well respected team. His appointment is further testament to our long term strategy of investing in people in order to deliver the very best for our clients.”

“Andy’s previous role as head of business support services in Yorkshire, established him with a proven track record in Lead Advisory and Due Diligence assignments. He also brings with him experience in helping clients to improve their financial reporting through the use of ‘cloud’ based solutions.   This aligns perfectly with our market leading MonitorPRO Management Accounting offering, and the firms commitment to Xero online accounting.”
