Baker Tilly Mooney Moore appoints Will Young as director
Belfast accountancy and advisory practice Baker Tilly Mooney Moore has expanded its consulting services department. Will Young joins as a director, having spent 36 years in Northern Ireland’s public sector.
Donal Laverty, consulting partner at Baker Tilly Mooney Moore said, “It’s a great moment for the Baker Tilly Mooney Moore team to welcome Will Young into our Consulting Services department. Will is bringing an incredible breadth of experience and knowledge that will only benefit our team and our clients. Baker Tilly Mooney Moore is in the midst of growing its service lines, responding to client needs, and Will’s visibility and reputation will only add to that service growth.”
Founded in 1920, Baker Tilly Mooney Moore provides accountancy and business advisory services to clients in the private, public and voluntary sectors. Its services include audit and assurance, taxation, restructuring and insolvency work and business consulting, among others. Mhari joins the firm at a busy time, with clients seeking help getting to grips with the tight employment market, and continuing to adapt to hybridised working patterns.
According to Laverty, the arrival of Young is “an exciting addition to Baker Tilly Mooney Moore’s offering to our clients”. A high-profile HR expert, the new director in the consulting team has held senior roles within the public and private sector.
Prior to arriving at Baker Tilly Mooney Moore, Young worked at the Health and Social Care’s Leadership Centre, as well as the Police Service of Northern Ireland – but was most recently a director of HR, people services for the Northern Ireland Civil Service. Throughout his career, he has also shown a dedication to people development, diversity, and charitable causes, holding third-sector roles with Children’s Heartbeat Trust, CIPD Northern Ireland, and Diversity Mark.
His appointment comes as Baker Tilly Mooney Moore seeks to extend its consulting services offering, which offers organisation design, systems and process improvement, organisation development, and executive and people development to clients in both the public and private sectors.
Young added, “I am delighted to be joining the Baker Tilly Mooney Moore team. Having worked in the public sector for such a long time, this is an exciting opportunity to use that knowledge and experience in different sectors across Baker Tilly Mooney Moore’s diverse client base. As someone who wants to provide high quality, bespoke work for clients, Baker Tilly Mooney Moore suits me perfectly as it provides a local, bespoke service under an international umbrella. The opportunity to provide services within an organisation with the international breadth and depth of Baker Tilly Mooney Moore was one I could not pass up.”
