UHY CAPABILITY STATEMENT 2021 3

FROM DENNIS PETRI
UHY Chairman

I am very pleased to present the 2021 UHY Capability Statement, following what has been a
challenging and unpredictable year, by any standards. It is important for me to put on record
my appreciation for the way in which our member firms have responded to adversity, with
fortitude, care and innovation, and never giving less than one hundred percent support to our
clients across the world. My hope for the coming year is that we will all regain some forward
momentum, helped by a global vaccination programme and a compelling human desire for
a return to normality – whatever final shape that may take.

The UHY Capability Statement serves to remind our readers, our clients and perhaps our
future clients, that this network of independent member firms has a strong set of credentials
for both domestic and multinational audit and assurance, tax, accounting and consultancy
work. UHY International was established 35 years ago as a trans-Atlantic cooperation
between firms in the US and the UK. Since then, it has grown to meet the needs of
international clients in over 100 countries.

Our member firms can be found in nearly 330 locations around the world, and between them
employ more than 8,500 professionals. We grow the network in line with client needs, both
geographically and in service capability. But more importantly, we do it with a shared sense
of responsibility, driven by quality and the ability to work together effectively to deliver
joined-up solutions for clients working across borders.

In this issue of the UHY Capability Statement we present a few examples of the way we work
with clients. They represent a tiny proportion of the massive workload delivered each year, but
they typify something of the approach that our member firms take with every client, whatever
the engagement and whatever the industry. For example, you can read about businesses as
diverse as a high-growth tech start-up, an international property developer, a gaming machines
manufacturer, an award-winning automotive retailer, a professional employer organisation, a
route mapping software developer – and even a historic football club.

A common thread is the importance that partners place on leading from the front,
developing deep and valuable relationships, and adding value over and above the brief.
Some of these stories show how our firms work with each other in different countries to
meet clients’ international needs. Others illustrate the delivery of excellent service at a local
level. From my perspective the most important outcome is a satisfied client, and I am grateful
to those we feature for allowing us to report what they have to say.

Finally, thank you for reading this publication, which also includes an international directory
of our member firms and a summary list of services. Please do not hesitate to contact me or
any of our listed international contact partners, if you would like to discuss ways in which we
might be of service, now or in the future.

Best wishes
