New York-based IPA 100 firm UHY (FY24 net revenue of $385.5 million) has announced its expansion into South Carolina with the addition of Manley Garvin LLC, a Greenwood, S.C.-based firm.
The combination expands UHY’s presence in the South and adds Manley Garvin’s tax, assurance and advisory capabilities to the firm’s national platform.

This combination allows us to expand our services, enhance our capabilities, and continue delivering the personalized guidance our clients value. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
