Michigan-based accounting and advisory firm UHY has expanded to South Carolina by acquiring Greenwood-based tax, advisory and assurance service firm, Manley Garvin LLC. The financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed but the move solidifies UHY's presence in South Carolina and the southern United States, and is part of a string of growth initiatives by UHY, enabling Manley Garvin’s clients access to UHY’s national resources and specialized expertise.
UHY, a Farmington Hills, Michigan based accounting and advisory firm, has expanded its geographic footprint into South Carolina through the addition of Manley Garvin LLC, a Greenwood based firm. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded in 2015, Manley Garvin provides tax, assurance, and advisory services and operates a single office in Greenwood. As part of the combination, shareholder and CEO Josh Garvin and founder Jim Manley will join UHY along with the firm’s entire team. The addition establishes UHY’s presence in South Carolina and further extends its reach across the southern United States.
Steven McCarty, chairman and CEO of UHY, stated that Greenwood and the surrounding region are experiencing increased business activity from both established companies and new enterprises. He noted that the area’s growth and location align with UHY’s strategy to expand into markets with rising demand for full service accounting and advisory support.
Josh Garvin said the combination provides Manley Garvin clients with access to national resources and specialized expertise while preserving the personalized guidance the firm is known for delivering. Jim Manley added that the transaction brings together teams with shared commitments to clients, communities, and professional collaboration.
Peakstone served as M&A advisor to Manley Garvin in the transaction.
The South Carolina expansion follows a series of recent growth initiatives by UHY. In July, the firm expanded into Ohio through the addition of Flynn & Co. in Cincinnati. Earlier expansions included combinations with firms in Michigan, Missouri, Massachusetts, Virginia, Iowa, and Maryland. In December 2024, UHY received a private equity investment from Summit Partners. The firm reported $384.7 million in revenue, with more than 2,000 professionals across 40 offices in the United States.
