Practice leads
Four desks, one letterhead. You will know the names before the engagement letter is countersigned.
Elena Hart
Elena founded Aurel after a decade as FD of a specialist manufacturer. She still takes the first briefing on every new file, and she is the signatory on group accounts that go to lenders. Clients know her for a short email and a number they can defend.
How the desks sit together
Designs the tax position so expansion, extraction and exit do not fight each other. Previously in-house at a professional-services group.
Runs statutory audit and the quality-of-earnings work buyers ask for. Known for files that survive the second review.
Leads debt, equity and succession. He prepares the story a lender or buyer will test, then stays in the room for the questions.
Tell us the decision on the table. We will tell you who would sit on the file.
