UHY Advisors recently named managing director Michael Mahoney as the President and CEO UHY Advisors NY, which includes offices in Manhattan, Rye Brook, Albany and New Haven, Conn. The firm was recently named the 20th largest professional services firm in the country by Accounting Today . Some 175 of the national firm's 1,200 employees work out of the New York area. Mahoney spoke with Consulting recently about plans for continuing the firm's growth, a bullish future on its China group, and the year-end explosion of M&A activity.
Consulting: What are your plans for continued growth in the Northeast?
Mahoney: Our plans for the Northeast would really emulate our plans for the company as a whole: to grow organically as well as through strategic acquisitions. In the past few years we've added partner-level individuals to strengthen our core audit and tax services as well as build out niche consulting expertise in transactional services, trust and estate planning, IT consulting, valuation services and probably our biggest specialty in the northeast which is our China group, through which we are committed to servicing the greater China region. We also believe there are ample opportunities to add quality, smaller firms. The accounting profession changes so rapidly now that many smaller firms are struggling to keep up and looking to join a larger platform which can provide them with the infrastructure and technical expertise they need to stay successful.
