haysmacintyre, the Top 30 firm of chartered accountants and tax advisors, has today announced the appointment of Natasha Frangos as the firm’s new Managing Partner, effective from 1 July 2022.
Taking over the role from Jeremy Beard, who has led the firm for the past three years, Natasha’s appointment sees her become the first female Managing Partner of haysmacintyre – one of only a few Top 30 accountancy firms which currently have a woman in this position.

Natasha joined haysmacintyre as a trainee in September 2000 and has since become a champion of development and diversity within the firm, from acting as a mentor to many of her colleagues to driving an expansion of the firm’s maternity policy to include Partners. Natasha’s appointment demonstrates haysmacintyre’s inward talent investment strategy, further underlined by 54% of current Partners having qualified at the firm.
