The team also has a successful and market-leading infrastructure finance advisory and modelling service.
Michael Tripp, Head of Financial Services, Mazars UK, said of his appointment: “Mazars has a strong pedigree in financial services.

Michael’s experience and leadership will be an additional asset to the team through his proven ability in helping the firm to capitalise on the increase in activity in the market. His new appointment allows for the growth and development of our financial services offering, both in London and internationally, and reflects his reputation, success and the support he has had from his colleagues here at the firm.”
