Harry is a Managing Director at Corbett Keeling, responsible for the firm’s client service from the first meeting through to completion. He has spent most of his career advising owners of private businesses on selling their companies, raising capital and making acquisitions, helping them achieve the right balance of cash, certainty and chemistry in their deal.

He sees it as a privilege to work with business owners at one of the most important moments of their lives, and is proud that more than 90% of the businesses Corbett Keeling takes to market complete successfully.

He joined Corbett Keeling in 2015 after five years working on deals at EY, where he qualified as a chartered accountant and advised on a wide range of transactions, from two worth more than $100bn each to private equity exits and founder-led sales.

Since joining Corbett Keeling, Harry has led more than 30 transactions across many sectors. His work has included advising the shareholders of QX Global Group, a business services and technology firm, on its sale to Long Ridge Equity Partners, a New York-based private equity firm, in a deal worth more than £100m. By focusing on the value drivers Corbett Keeling identified in its PRO Review, which assesses a business’s positioning, readiness for sale and how to optimise its value, QX grew five-fold between the review and the sale.

He enjoys working with owners long before a sale, helping them build the value a buyer will pay for, and is still there for them long after the deal is done.
