Kerry Tizard
CONSULTANT
Kerry joined UHY Haines Norton in 1990 and was a Director for 25 years. After many years of working closely with clients on their accounting, tax, business planning and structuring needs, he is now a consultant to the firm and continues to provide specialist expertise to assist clients.
In particular, Kerry specialises in business valuations, a service line he was instrumental in establishing and growing for the practice. He applies his experience and knowledge to develop objective, accurate business and share valuations for clients looking to sell, purchase, restructure or expand a business. Kerry also advises clients on how to improve the value of their business over time, providing intuitive insights and long-term strategies that deliver tangible results. He is a strong advocate of using business valuations as a tool to prepare your business for sale early. He believes that identifying opportunities to make savings and improve profitability over time puts business owners in the strongest possible position to maximise sales value when the time comes.
Kerry’s reputation is built on his long-standing work ethic of always putting the client first. His insightful, intelligent expertise has always focused on delivering value to his clients: solving problems, capitalising on opportunities and getting results. A firm believer in supporting local businesses and the community, he has provided many local charities and community initiatives with accounting expertise and governance.
