Rainmakers exclusive – what float of MHA says about professional services M&A frenzy
Keeping any float going requires nerves of steel. When the President of the USA starts a trade war, sending markets into turmoil, that asks for even more.
Accountancy firm MHA floated this week, raising £98m for an acquisitions war chest, sending the professional services world into a even frothier frenzy.
We spoke to the people behind the scenes who kept the show on the road.
Also, why did chief executive Rakesh Shaunak walk away from a private equity deal that would have landed him upwards of £15m?
