UHY Hacker Young has appointed four new partners in its London and Nottingham offices.
Nikhil Oza, Rachel Chim and Matthew Granger at UHY Hacker Young’s London office and David Allum at the firm’s Nottingham office have been promoted from director to partner.
Oza has 15 years’ experience with ‘Big 4’ accountancy firms. He joined UHY Hacker Young as corporate tax director in 2019 and has now been promoted to partner. Oza is a corporate tax specialist and an ACA-qualified chartered accountant. He works with a broad range of clients but has particular expertise within the tech sector, from startups to well-established businesses.
Chim has worked in UHY Hacker Young’s business advisory services team since 2006, progressing from a senior to manager, director and now partner. Chim has a diverse range of clients within the financial services, property, retail and hospitality sectors. She provides commercial advice to ambitious start-up companies and does extensive compliance work with UK subsidiaries of large multinational groups.
Granger joined UHY Hacker Young as a graduate in 2008 and has now progressed to become partner in the business advisory services team. He has worked with start-ups and multinational groups within property investment, recruitment, financial services, commodities broking and software.
Allum joined UHY Hacker Young over 20 years ago, shortly after qualification, and now becomes partner in the audit practice of the firm’s Nottingham office. His client base primarily comprises both audit and non-audit work for owner-managed businesses. He also has particularly strong experience in the charity and not-for-profit sectors.
UHY Hacker Young managing partner, Subarna Banerjee, said: “We are pleased to welcome Nikhil, Rachel, Matthew and David to the partnership. At UHY, we are all driven by our common purpose of ‘helping you prosper’ and, aligned to this, it is a core part of our ethos to develop and promote outstanding talent inside the firm. Being able to expand the partnership this way is something we are very proud of.”
