Prior to joining Quantuma, Hart spent 10 years with professional services firm Roffe Swayne, where established the forensic services offering and built a team of five people, which she led for nine years. Before this, Hart spent 13 years with Big Four firm Deloitte, within its forensic group, working on a range of commercial contractual and transaction related disputes.

In her new role within Quantuma’s London and Southern team, Hart will continue working with lawyers across the UK and beyond, specialising in expert witness and advisory work on civil litigation and matrimonial cases. She will play a key role in driving the practice’s growth over the coming months and years, working alongside the existing senior team of Gavin Pearson, Robert Parry and Gordon Hodgen.

At the same time, she will continue to act as Chair of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales’s Forensic Advisory Group.

Commenting on her appointment, Hart said, “The pace at which Quantuma has grown over recent years has been impressive, and the firm’s full advisory service both in the UK and overseas is an attractive offering. Quantuma has established a very well-regarded forensic accounting and investigations capability and I am looking forward to contributing to its development at an exciting point in the firm’s journey.”

Quantuma’s forensic accounting and investigation team has grown significantly since its formation in 2018. Hart’s arrival helps to cement its position as one of the UK’s leading mid-market forensic accounting teams, being regularly instructed on some of the UK’s largest dispute matters. The news also follows a strong period of growth for the firm, buoyed by the firm’s merger with AIM listed K3 Capital and Essex-based management consultancy Aspect Plus in 2020.
