Andrew Howson

I am a Deal Advisory partner based in London specialising in supporting private equity, both PE houses and portfolio companies, across the transaction life cycle. This involves a wide spectrum of services with the primary aim of being a trusted advisor and making the diligence process as informed and insightful as possible.

I have worked across multiple sectors, with a particular recent emphasis on people-backed businesses, and pride myself on having established relationships with a number of PE accounts that have spanned well over a decade. The re-occurring nature of work undertaken with these firms has been integral in developing my network within investment teams as well as management teams and the wider referrer network.

Having joined BDO in 2017 to help us expand our mid-market private equity offering, whereby we are now the number 1 ranked FDD provider in the UK by volume, I am now a member of our PE Leadership Team and hence involved in shaping our firmwide strategic framework in this critical market segment.

Outside of work I have a wide range of sporting interests, most notably running (from Parkruns to marathons) and football (Fulham season ticket holder), and also enjoy spending time walking our dog in the Surrey Hills.
