David Selwyn

Managing Partner

I am the joint Managing Partner at HW Fisher and undertake a number of roles in this respect.

In addition, I have an extensive and mixed portfolio of commercial clients, encompassing the recruitment, arts, property, e-commerce, import and export, fashion, publishing, manufacturing, and distribution sectors, including international groups.

I provide audit and accounting services as well as general and commercial advice to these clients and am regarded as a highly experienced company adviser.

My work can involve reviewing the finances or structure of a business, advising on acquisitions or commercial arrangements, as well as providing strategic advice.

I also frequently undertake assignments in share valuations, fraud and tax investigations, and I have written and lectured widely on these topics.

On qualifying as a chartered accountant in 1979, I joined Coopers & Lybrand, before quickly rising to the position of audit manager where I was responsible for a number of substantial and diverse clients. Seeking new pastures and a greater interaction with clients, I subsequently moved to HW Fisher in 1983, becoming a partner in 1986. I joined the Board in 1999 with specific involvement in the financial and risk aspects of running the practice, before becoming joint managing partner in 2018.
