About us
HNH was built in 2009 with specific purpose for a defined market – to provide corporate finance strategy and solutions for SMEs in the UK and Ireland. It’s a niche we continue to fill, but we’ve also evolved to offer complementary services including tax advisory, business planning, valuation support and transaction services.
Our growth journey to date
Like our clients, we don’t like to sit still. In 2019 we opened our office in Scotland, with further expansion planned for the near future. With 28 staff members, we have advised on over 197 M&A transactions, with a combined deal value in excess of £2.1bn.

Who we are defines what we do
We work in true partnership with our clients, listening more than talking at first, doing whatever it takes to understand your world and aspirations, because the better we get to know you, the more effective our advice will be.

The HNH Difference
Uniquely positioned
The only independent and specialist deal advisor with dedicated sites across both Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Specialist skill set
Our knowledge and expertise run deeper than most because we focus on the specifics of a deal. Our team combines deal advisory, banking, restructuring, private equity and financial due diligence experience.
Independent thinkers
We provide truly objective advice because our judgement isn’t clouded. We don’t operate in the ongoing compliance space, nor do we provide day-to-day accounting services or provide funding of any type.
Lasting relationships
We focus on the longer-term relationship by ensuring every decision made is the most sustainable strategy for your specific circumstances.
Consistent performance
We are ranked as one of the most active advisory firms across the Northern Ireland and Scottish markets, regularly topping the Experian M&A league tables.
Deeper understanding
By listening longer than most, our strategies will take you further than most. We have the empathy and insight to realise that emotion and legacy, family and reputation are part of every deal.
Fast response
Lean and agile team, with the flex to react and adapt quickly to your needs.
Adding value
We believe that our clients deserve more. We will only embark on engagements where we have experience and can add value. Our reputation is important to us.
Partner led
You have a direct line to our partners, regardless of deal size.
