Only getting better

Formed through the merger of seven regional accounting and other professional service firms, UHY Advisors (formerly Centerprise Advisors) offers accounting, tax and business consulting services to middle market clients, including private companies, governmental entities, not-for-profit organizations and wealthy individuals.  Audit services are provided through the firm’s alternative practice structure arrangement with UHY, LLP.  In 2008, UHY Advisors came in at No. 12 on Accounting Today’s Top 100 Firms list, moving up a spot from the previous year, with $277.3 million in revenue, up 16 percent from 2007.

UHY Advisors is affiliated with the Urbach Hacker Young (UHY) International network, which includes 185 worldwide offices.  The network was founded in 1986, by accounting firms Hacker Young and Urbach Kahn & Werlin.  The two firms had worked together under a reciprocal agreement: This was the opportunity to include others in a truly international network.  Early members included firms from Holland, Germany and Singapore.  In May 2004, Hacker Young Group adopted a new corporate identity, linking all member firms to one another and to its international network, UHY.  Today, all the members of the Hacker Young Group prefix their names with UHY.

UHY SURVEY SAYS



Going from small to midsize

Yes, UHY is “very professional,” but sources say it’s simultaneously “friendly and relaxed.” “This is a firm that values hardworking and capable people,” says a recent hire.  “I’d describe the environment as frank and fair, with a very good sense of fun.”  It’s a “small firm culture in the process of migrating to a midsized firm” environment, another contact explains.  “Young and casual,” a partner sums up.

Tips from the inside


If you match, you’re in

According to UHY, its ideal candidate is “an energetic team player who leads by example and who effectively communicates at all levels.”  Insiders say that although UHY can be selective, “it doesn’t hesitate to hire the people it feels are a good match.”  For most campus hires, a minimum 3.0 GPA is required.

Campus recruiting targets “regional colleges” near the firm’s offices across the country. Experienced candidates hail from “other large and middle market accounting firms.”  Current job openings—ranging from seasonal tax help to entry-level staff to upper management—are posted on UHY’s website, and candidates are encouraged to apply online.  Sources say that after a preliminary “filter” interview, candidates “usually meet with four professionals of varying levels, depending on the candidate’s experience level.”  As for UHY internships, an insider says there are “limited paid positions due to contract requirements.”
