Joel Haft

I lead the Internal Audit and Risk Advisory team at Monahans. My role is all about helping clients make sure their risk and control frameworks actually work for them.

I enjoy learning how things work behind the scenes. Every business has its own pressure points and priorities, and that’s what keeps the job interesting.

The best part of what I do is sitting down with business owners and senior teams to understand what’s already working, where the pressure points are and where we can help improve things without adding unnecessary process.

I’m particularly passionate about working with start-ups, fintech and digital asset firms.

I also want to support public sector and not-for-profit organisations to streamline their approach and make internal audit more accessible and effective.

My background

I’ve spent most of my career in internal audit, starting out at Mazars in London before moving into industry.

I’ve worked across a wide range of financial services businesses, including fintech, crypto, asset management and large US corporates.

I’m a lifelong Leeds United fan and follow them home and away. I also enjoy music, chess, padel, a good whiskey and spending time with my wife and our little man.
