He joins Azets after 17 years at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), including three years working in Australia.
His experience includes advising multinational companies, private equity firms and privately owned businesses.
Tomlinson said: “I have joined the team at a really exciting time, with a great opportunity to help shape and grow the service line nationally.
“What particularly attracted me is the combination of national ambition with a strong regional presence, bringing together local market knowledge and relationships to support our continued growth.
“I am looking forward to working alongside Joe Stroud (corporate finance partner) and the wider team to further expand Azets’ offering across the North.”
Azets UK corporate finance head Lee Humble said that Tomlinson’s experience will be a “valuable asset” to the team as the company seeks to increase its presence in the local and national marketplace.
Humble added: “He epitomises what we look for in a new hire: great technical and people skills coupled with superb local and national market knowledge and contacts.
“Our team has an ever-increasing reach and is now receiving a growing number of instructions from overseas buyers – something David’s international experience will assist with.
“There remains demand and opportunities for great businesses in the North West and across the UK.”
Earlier this month, Azets strengthened its debt advisory division with the appointment of two senior directors.
