UHY Hacker Young reappoints managing partner

UHY Hacker Young has announced the reappointment of Subarna Banerjee as its managing partner in London and Nottingham, following a highly successful three-year period in the role.  

Banerjee originally joined the firm as a partner in 2014, having previously worked at Grant Thornton and EY.

He is currently also chair of UHY International, the global network of independent accountancy firms with 340 offices in 99 countries.

In his role as managing partner, Banerjee will oversee the pursuit of several ambitious targets during his term, which runs to 2026. These targets include increasing the firm’s revenue by over 50% and to continue to grow the firm’s headcount substantially.

Banerjee has been instrumental in overseeing the firm’s major investment in technology and quality since he was appointed managing partner in 2020, which has helped both the business’s audit and tax practices.

In addition, he also led on developing and implementing the firm’s values. This has included making tough decisions to ensure the group’s values are preserved, as in the last year, the firm has voluntarily ceased working with a number of clients “whose values do not match” its own. 

Banerjee said: “I am delighted to be given the opportunity to continue the progress we have made as a firm over the last few years. I am very proud of contributing to the firm’s success in growing our practice and helping our teams, our clients and our local communities prosper.

“We are aiming to deliver very significant growth for the firm over the next three years. I’m thankful that the partnership has put its confidence in me to spearhead that project.”

He added: “I’ve always believed that succeeding in our profession involves more than financial performance and that’s part of the reason I joined UHY Hacker Young. Being part of placing those values front and centre over the last three years has been a rewarding experience.”
