UHY LLP today announced that they will expand their presence in the Northeast with the combination of the certified public accounting firm Bigelow & Company (“Bigelow”), located in Manchester and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The combination of firms, effective July 31, 2023, brings Bigelow’s deep history in New Hampshire to UHY’s existing Northeast presence spanning nine locations in New York and Connecticut. Nationally, UHY employs over 1,600 professionals in 34 U.S. offices.
This combination will allow Bigelow to offer a wider array of services and subject matter expertise to their valued clients and prospective new clients in New Hampshire. Founded in 1935, Bigelow has operated under the principal that long-term client relationships are a business’ greatest asset, which aligns symbiotically with UHY’s “Next Level of Service” philosophy.
Marie McKay will continue as Managing Partner of the Manchester and Portsmouth offices and all 27 Bigelow employees will be employed by UHY. “As one of the fastest growing accounting firms in the U.S., the choice to join UHY was very clear to us. To be a part of UHY will mean that we can continue the long-term relationships we’ve already established in New Hampshire but now we’ll have access to additional services and provide a more holistic approach to client service,” said McKay. “We are also looking forward to leveraging UHY’s sophisticated support system for operations, finance, human resources, information technology, and marketing.”
“As we looked to enter the New Hampshire market we wanted to continue our successful strategy of finding a local firm, providing quality service, with a strong brand and a management team that was significantly active in the community. Bigelow & Company, under Marie McKay’s leadership was an obvious choice,” said Michael Mahoney, Northeast Region Managing Director, UHY. “I am extremely excited to partner with Marie to grow the platform she has already built, to establish UHY as the ‘go to’ accounting firm for assisting family-owned, closely held businesses and individuals in the State of New Hampshire.”
