UHY recruits China member firm

TOP-20 FIRM UHY has recruited its first Chinese company to join its international network.

Shanghai-based ZhongHua will now form part of the UHY network, which is already established in the Asia-Pacific region and has members in Hong Kong, Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines and Japan, International Advisor reports.

ZhongHua, which was established in 1985, is one of the largest firms in the region with 22 partners, 300 staff and more than 1,000 clients.

Managing partner, Sun Yong, said: "We joined the UHY network for a number of reasons. Training plays an important role in the continuous professional development of our partners and staff but technical excellence is not enough today.

"The quality of our services depends on the calibre of the partner and team assigned to each of our clients, so we select people who are not only professionally knowledgeable but also committed, with proven business abilities, who can analyse, interpret and advise on international concerns."

Earlier this year, UK member UHY Hacker Young recruited a Chinese partner to its newly developed China desk.
