UHY Hacker Young has added Williamson and Croft to its national network, strengthening the group’s presence in Manchester and Liverpool and expanding its focus on the small and medium-sized enterprise market.
The firm, which will rebrand as UHY Williamson Croft on 1 December, provides audit, tax and advisory services to SMEs, not-for-profit organisations and international businesses.
It was founded in 2016 by managing partner Damien Loughran and strategic partner Daniel Moon and now employs more than 60 staff across both cities.
UHY said the move forms part of its wider growth strategy and aligns with the group’s aim of supporting expanding businesses.
The announcement coincides with UHY Day, the network’s annual event marking its membership of the global UHY International organisation, which has offices in more than 320 business centres across nearly 100 countries.
Williamson and Croft has developed sector specialisms in technology, real estate, professional services and media.
According to the firm, joining UHY would give clients access to wider expertise while supporting its plan to scale.
Loughran said: “We’ve built the firm on personal, proactive client service and a genuine desire to help growing businesses succeed. Joining UHY Hacker Young gives us access to a trusted UK wide and global network of like-minded professionals who share that same entrepreneurial spirit. It’s the perfect fit for our culture and ambition.”
Moon added: “Whilst our focus with our clients has always been to build personal, close-knit relationships, joining the UHY Hacker Young network is the perfect opportunity for us to tap into a wider network of expertise whilst holding onto our close client relationships.”
Colin Wright, UHY Hacker Young group chairman, concluded: “We’re delighted to welcome Williamson and Croft to the UHY Hacker Young family. Their personable approach, SME expertise, and focus on innovation make them an excellent addition to our network. Their rapid growth is a testament to their quality, culture, and commitment to clients – values we share across the UHY Hacker Young family.”
