Top 30 accounting firm UHY now has its first office in South Carolina after announcing a deal Monday to merge with Manley Garvin, a Greenwood-based firm that provides tax, accounting, and assurance services.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
The addition of Manley Garvin comes at a time of rapid growth for Farmington Hills, MI-based UHY, which has expanded recently in some of the U.S.’s leading business markets, including St. Louis, Boston, and New York.
UHY received an injection of private equity funding from Boston-based investment firm Summit Partners in late 2024.
