PKF Littlejohn has appointed Ben Pott as an Audit Partner specialising in supporting the funds and private equity sector.
Ben has over 14 years of experience in the private equity space, having worked at the Big Four and in industry. He has an impressive track record of providing audit and assurance services to private equity houses and their fund vehicles, and has developed a reputation as an expert on asset valuation methodology.
Ben’s extensive experience covers the broader private equity industry: he has worked with funds of all sizes – from early-stage venture capital to major leveraged buyouts – investing across a range of sectors, including technology, financial services, ESG/sustainability and Infrastructure. Ben’s work has spanned multiple jurisdictions, particularly the key private equity hubs of the UK, Luxembourg, US, the Cayman Islands and the Channel Islands.
At PKF, Ben will bring specialist private equity expertise to the firm’s fast-growing Wealth & Asset Management team. The team supports a wide range of funds, from start-ups to larger well-established groups, both listed and privately owned, as well as a growing number of private equity houses. Ben’s insight also dovetails with the firm’s specialist tax support to the private equity industry, led by Stephen Kenny.
Dominic Roberts, Managing Partner of PKF Littlejohn, said: “Ben’s arrival demonstrates our commitment to the private equity market and further strengthens our offer here. PKF Littlejohn is highly regarded in the Financial Services industry, and our investment in this important sector will help to ensure that we continue to attract and retain the best people and clients.
“Ben’s technical expertise and ability to build strong relationships makes him a natural fit at PKF. I have no doubt that Ben will play an important role in our continued growth and success, and we are delighted to have him onboard”.
