Iffy Hussein joins Azets as partner in corporate finance team
Accounting and consulting firm Azets has welcomed a new corporate finance partner to its team. Iffy Hussein joins in Leeds, and will serve clients across the whole of Yorkshire.
Azets’ UK head of corporate finance Lee Humble, commented, “Iffy’s extensive experience supporting a range of businesses through all aspects of Corporate Finance will be an asset to our team – in Leeds and right across the UK.
We’ve advised and closed a significant number of deals this year despite the M&A market being one of the most turbulent in recent memory. I’m confident that figure will continue to increase now Iffy has joined us.”
Azets is a business advisory and accounting firm headquartered in London. The company has since grown to more than 165 offices globally, with some 7,000 staff working with 120,000 clients. Only established in 2016, the company’s rapid growth in its first eight years has been backed by UK private equity investor Hg – a specialist investor in European and transatlantic software and services businesses.
Azets has three offices in Yorkshire, in Leeds, Bradford and York, where it employs 335 people. But like the rest of the firm, the regional wing is also expanding.
As corporate finance partner in its Leeds office, Iffy Hussein brings over 13 years of experience to Azets. He accrued that knowhow with EY and PwC, where he spent his time supporting and advising privately owned and private equity backed businesses across the spectrum of M&A and with a track record of experience and expertise across Business Services and TMT.
Looking ahead, Hussein will support a range of businesses at different points in their journey, leveraging his specialist expertise for clients nationwide. He follows corporate finance executive Joshua Wright and corporate finance manager Adam Mulla into the Yorkshire corporate finance team during 2025.
Hussein added, “It is an exciting time to join Azets as the company continues on its impressive national and international growth journey. Despite an improving economic landscape with lower interest rates and strong liquidity in debt markets and across private equity, the geopolitical landscape remains a challenge for many businesses. Businesses require support and advice throughout their journey, with the right advice from the right professional key to an optimum outcome. With its national and international strength and local focus, Azets is able to provide that support and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to play my part.”
