MHA

What MHA does

MHA is a UK-headquartered chartered accountancy and professional services firm delivering audit, tax, advisory, outsourcing, and wealth services to growth-focused organisations. Following its April 2025 listing on AIM (ticker: MHA), the group is legally structured as MHA plc with a parent registered office in Milton Keynes and operates through multiple regulated subsidiaries, including MHA Audit Services LLP (ICAEW-regulated statutory auditors), MHA Corporate Finance Limited (FCA-regulated), MHA Wealth Limited (FCA-regulated), and MHA Trustees Corporation Limited (ICAEW-licensed for probate). The firm serves 12+ vertical sectors — construction, financial services, manufacturing, technology, automotive, retail, real estate, life sciences, education, agribusiness, energy, and not-for-profit — with specialist sector teams supported by thought leadership such as the annual MHA Manufacturing Report.

The core service portfolio is organised into four lines: Audit & Assurance (external audit, financial reporting, governance/risk/controls), Tax (corporate, private client, R&D, VAT, customs, dispute resolution, fee protection, international tax), Advisory (corporate finance, debt advisory, forensic accounting, human capital, restructuring and recovery, sustainability/ESG, and wealth), and Outsourcing (accounts and advisory, payroll, financial training, plus a China Desk and India Desk). The firm runs 22 UK offices plus owned operations in Ireland, the Cayman Islands, the UAE, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Cyprus, and is the UK member firm of Baker Tilly International, the world's 8th-largest accountancy network ($6.8 billion revenue, 147 territories, 754 offices, 50,400 professionals). Internally, MHA uses the DayShape platform for job management and has invested in AI and automation technology cited in the November 2025 results.

Revenue is generated through bespoke, project-priced professional services engagements (commonly multi-year) determined by engagement scope, complexity, and client size, distributed via direct sector-specialist teams. The GTM is enterprise field sales combined with a sales-led sector-team model, amplified by content marketing (manufacturing reports, FD hub), events and roundtables, and the Baker Tilly International network for cross-border mandates. Post-April 2024 merger with MHA Moore and Smalley, the group has executed an aggressive acquisition-led strategy (Baker Tilly South-East Europe, Baker Tilly Ireland in 2025; MS UAE in April 2026) targeting over £500 million in medium-term annual revenue.
