HaysMac has been featured in the Business Reporter’s Best of British Business 2026, with Managing Partner Natasha Frangos discussing the pressures shaping today’s financial landscape and how the firm supports clients in navigating an environment that is becoming increasingly complex.
In the interview with Rachel Hicks, Natasha reflects on what many business leaders are feeling: the financial world is getting tougher to read. Greater competition, market fragmentation and rapidly shifting regulation mean that businesses are managing more variables than ever before, and traditional assumptions about choice and competition no longer always hold. Clients, she explains, are looking for greater clarity, more joined up insight and advisors who can help them make confident decisions amid uncertainty.
Natasha Frangos, Managing Partner at HaysMac, said: “Clients rarely have single issue challenges. They need advice that connects the dots, spanning tax, audit, commercial, regulatory, and we’re structured to deliver that in a genuinely integrated way.”
Natasha outlines how HaysMac reconciles a broad service offering with deep sector and market expertise. The firm’s sector-led model ensures that clients receive advice shaped by people who understand the nuances of their industry, while the breadth of its services means the wider commercial and regulatory implications are considered from the outset. This integrated approach anticipates issues early, streamlines complex decision making and clients are guided through pivotal moments in their growth. It is this ability to connect technical insight with sector understanding that she sees as a defining strength of the firm.
People and talent are another major focus. With professional services facing intense competition for skilled individuals, Natasha discusses how HaysMac continues to attract and develop top talent. Rather than relying on the scale or financial resources of larger rivals, the firm focuses on culture, meaningful development and long-term career progression, by creating an environment where people feel supported to grow, build expertise and contribute to the firm’s future.
Looking ahead, Natasha sets out HaysMac’s growth ambitions for the next five years. These include expanding the firm’s sector capabilities, further strengthening its advisory services and continuing to invest in its people. Crucially, she emphasises that growth will not come at the expense of the firm’s independence or the personal, partner led service clients value. Maintaining that balance, she says, will remain central to HaysMac’s strategy.
HaysMac’s feature forms part of the Business Reporter’s wider Best of British Business 2026 programme, a long running initiative that highlights organisations demonstrating leadership, innovation and resilience across the UK economy. The programme showcases businesses that are not only navigating today’s challenges, but actively shaping the future of British industry, from redefining how they support clients to setting new benchmarks in culture, capability and growth. Being included in this year’s cohort places HaysMac among a select group of firms recognised for their forward-looking approach and meaningful contribution to the UK business landscape.
