Mehmet Sengulen Selected As 2026 Long Island Accounting Influencer

UHY is proud to announce that Long Island Office Managing Director, Mehmet Sengulen has been selected as a 2026 Long Island Business Accounting Influencer by the Long Island Business News.

The professionals recognized in this year’s Accounting Influencers section are not simply stewards of financial records — they are architects of the region’s economic life, shaping how businesses grow, how nonprofits sustain their missions, and how individuals and families build lasting wealth.

This year’s LIBN Accounting Influencers represent a broad sweep of the profession — from sole practitioners and boutique advisory firms to the regional offices of some of the world’s largest accounting organizations. What unites them is a commitment that extends well beyond the technical aspects of this industry. They navigate Securities and Exchange Commission requirements and succession planning, mergers and forensic investigations, healthcare reimbursement and construction finance. They advise emerging businesses and publicly traded corporations alike, serving as trusted guides through some of the most consequential decisions their clients will ever make.

Several executives in this year’s class have spent decades building Long Island practices from the ground up, growing teams of dozens — and in some cases more than 100 professionals — while staying grounded in the day-to-day realities of the regional economy. Others lead the Long Island outposts of national and international firms, ensuring that clients here have access to resources and expertise that reach well beyond our borders. Together, they represent the full range of what a modern accounting practice looks like: Part advisor, part strategist, part community anchor.
