Partner Marie McKay was recently interviewed by Business NH Magazine about her leadership of the New Hampshire offices after being highlighted as one of top women-led businesses in the state:
Before it became part of UHY, a national firm providing audit, tax, consulting and advisory services, the firm was Bigelow & Co., which was founded in NH in 1935. In 2023, the firm, which has 30 employees in NH, became part of UHY, an international firm.
UHY’s NH operation is led by Marie McKay, who originally joined Bigelow & Co. in 1983, worked her way up to a partner within six years, and eventually became the firm’s office managing partner.
After the pandemic, she and the leadership team started to work on a succession plan. It quickly became evident the firm either needed to join a larger company or downsize to survive. “It’s harder to be a midsized firm now than it used to be due to a lot of regulation and compliance that has changed,” McKay says. Led by McKay, the principals and senior managers opted to become part of a larger company that could provide the firm with more resources to serve its clients.
