Easing C-Suite Transitions with Exceptional Service

Easing C-Suite Transitions with Exceptional Service

The UHY engagement team has been a true business partner for DMS and played an instrumental role when our organization was going through not one, but two major C-level transitions at once. They were able to help provide a seamless transition between the two leadership changes while in the midst of performing our audit and tax services. We are grateful for our engagement team’s adaptability and being there for us when we needed them most.

– Scott Cieslak, Chief Financial Officer, Detroit Manufacturing Systems

Equipping Businesses with Services Designed for Growth

Equipping Businesses with Services Designed for Growth

Now that we have grown from two states with 35 employees to 14 states with 100 employees, we needed more than just a compliance firm. We needed a true business partner that would help guide our business as we continued to grow. UHY was just the right firm. They have done a great job providing value added services to MJS such as merger & acquisition assistance, state and local tax work, and helping with stock grant issues. Their tax and attest teams work seamlessly together. We are very fortunate to work with a firm like UHY.

– Nick Haratsaris, Chief Financial Officer, MJS Packaging

Offering Stability During Major Transitions

Offering Stability During Major Transitions

When our company was acquired, we relied heavily on UHY and its team of professionals during the transition. As a newly hired CFO, UHY’s team helped bridge the gap and provide me with guidance during the changeover. During this time, UHY was a valued-business partner when we needed them most, providing a consultative approach to ensure our accounting was in order. UHY is a true business partner and I am grateful for their support and leadership.

– Gage Hotchkiss, Chief Financial Officer, Western Industries Plastic Products LLC

Building Lasting Relationships Based on Excellent Service

Building Lasting Relationships Based on Excellent Service

I always considered the relationship we had with UHY and the many people who have worked on our account of the years as something very special and a great asset to PIP. We have gone through much together over the years and I thank the UHY team greatly for their wisdom and guidance. They always had a great ability to meet the requirements of the profession while understanding and adjusting to the needs of his client. I always thought we were in good hands with the UHY Team.
