While Luke’s promotion reinforces our expertise in Media, Marketing & Advertising, the firm’s growth is equally reflected in the continued evolution of our Property sector.

I’m excited for what’s ahead as we continue to evolve the team and its impact.”
The firm’s Financial Services practice also sees strengthened leadership with the promotion of Ranvir Cheema. With nine years’ experience across the Financial Services sector, Ranvir specialises in hedge funds, alternative asset managers, private equity, and listed company audits. Since joining HaysMac in 2022, he has led several of the Financial Services team’s largest and most complex group audits, earning recognition for technical rigour, consistent delivery and strong client relationships. Ranvir has also driven the development of the team’s structured training programmes, supporting audit quality and capability-building across the department. As Director, he will continue to focus on strengthening audit quality, enhancing internal training, and deepening expertise across alternative asset managers and large groups.
Looking ahead, Ranvir Cheema said: “I’m honoured to be promoted to Director and grateful for the trust and support I’ve received since joining HaysMac. I’m excited to continue focusing on audit quality, developing our team, and supporting the growth of our Financial Services practice across some of the industry’s most dynamic and complex areas.”
