Yogan A. Patel

Partner

Yogan qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1983 and is a Partner here at MHA MacIntyre Hudson.

Yogan works with clients through the planning process and helps to turn ideas into actions.

In addition to advising owner-managed businesses on strategic matters and tax planning, he is fully involved in all aspects of a client's business which includes audit, accounts, tax compliance, recruitment etc.

Yogan heads up our Pharma, Life Science and Med-Tech sector for the firm and also has a wide range of clients in the Technology, Manufacturing and Property sectors, as well as in Fashion and Healthcare.  

Yogan is a Fellow of the ICAEW and a member of the ICAEW tax faculty and audit and assurance faculty.
