Nick Harris
Partner, restructuring
Meet Nick
One of the leaders of our award winning business restructuring team
Hi I’m Nick.
I’m a restructuring partner here at PKF Francis Clark.
I’ve been with the firm for over 20 years now and in my opinion, there’s no better place where you can get challenging and meaningful work in this great part of the country.
My role is helping businesses and directors in their real time of need, whether that’s financial distress or whether they need to restructure and grow, I’m here to help them get through that.
Yeah, there’s been some real success stories where I’ve been able to go in and meet
directors, meet the key stakeholders in those businesses, but then we’ve been able to put those businesses on the right track.
So in my free time, I am the dad of two young boys. But yeah, they’re both active. Go to lots of clubs and activities. I like to refer to myself as the family taxi service, taking them to different sports clubs in the evenings and at the weekends.
Whether you are facing a challenge or you just want to get in touch to explore your options, please do contact me.
Nick Harris is a licensed insolvency practitioner and chartered accountant based in the UK. He is a partner in PKF Francis Clark’s restructuring team, where he advises businesses across a wide range of sectors, including charities, agriculture, hospitality, pharmaceuticals, construction, care homes, and visual effects (VFX).
Nick began his career at PKF Francis Clark as a graduate trainee in 2004. He qualified as a chartered accountant in 2007 and has specialised in business recovery and insolvency since 2008.

He provides clear, practical advice to help directors make informed decisions, especially when weighing the difficult choice between continuing to trade or entering liquidation.
Known for his empathetic approach, Nick takes pride in helping individuals gain clarity and peace of mind during times of financial stress. He works closely with a trusted network of professionals to support businesses.
Outside of work, he enjoys watching cricket and rugby, and spending quality time with his family.
Nick's client say
“Working with Nick was a really positive experience. This was a complex and fairly high-pressure deal with lots of moving parts and different stakeholders to manage, but Nick handled it brilliantly. He’s great at getting into the detail while also keeping everyone focused on the end goal. What stood out most was his ability to bring people together and keep everyone aligned, particularly when navigating some of the more challenging discussions. Nick was approachable and easy to work with, building strong relationships and trust throughout the process. He combines diligence and technical expertise with genuine commercial awareness, which made a real difference in getting the deal over the line. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

“I have worked with Nick for over 15 years and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing him progress through the firm. He brings a calm, collected and thoughtful approach to complex and sensitive insolvency situations, always considering matters from every angle while remaining quick to make decisions when needed.
Across both the Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust liquidation and the Bristol Ambulance EMS administration, Nick’s communication was seamless. He worked extremely well with the wider advisory team, kept stakeholders informed and aligned, and went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcomes.
What stands out most is Nick’s ability to move matters forward without fuss, even under significant time pressure. His proactive approach helped secure important community assets in the TCCT matter and a seamless sale for Bristol Ambulance EMS, protecting jobs and maintaining essential patient transport services. His ability to combine careful judgment with decisive action is what makes him stand out in challenging restructuring situations.
