What Do Our Clients Think?
Reducing the Tax Burdens of Small Businesses
I was spending too much time working in the business and not enough time working on the business, and we needed to make a change. Our UHY team is a true business partner that has been both proactive and responsive in managing our accounting and tax issues. UHY was a valued advisor helping us navigate through the Paycheck Protection Program and the TCJA to help us save as many tax dollars as possible. For a small business that doesn’t have an in-house accounting team, UHY has been an extension of our team and has allowed me to focus on running my business.
– Nate Johns, Partner, Element H
Setting Up for Success Through Leadership Collaboration
UHY has a strong understanding of our business that helps us plan for the future. As our business continues to evolve, our engagement team’s knowledge and informed thinking has helped us think strategically. UHY meets with our executive team throughout the year to review our tax planning strategies, which allows us to map out the year ahead. It is so refreshing to work with a team that is a joy to work with, and where we are all on the same page.
– Chris LaJoy, Owner, LaJoy Group, Inc.
Dependable Service that Adapts to Business Challenges
UHY has provided Sterling Corporation and The Markow Companies with outstanding service since 1995, supporting our tax planning, acquisition efforts, and both personal and corporate tax return preparation. They played a crucial role in the growth of our Sterling Office Services Division and have since become an essential partner, especially during acquisitions. Their support was invaluable during COVID, guiding us through complex challenges, and we are deeply grateful for their knowledge. We look forward to many more years of partnership with UHY.
