History
[edit]UHY Hacker Young was founded by Johnny Rubens and Mark Hacker, both qualified accountants, who opened their first office in Chancery Lane, London. Initially focusing on assisting individuals with financial difficulties, they expanded their services over the years to include tax advice and compliance. In 1961, a merger with Stuart Young & Co led to the adoption of the name Hacker, Rubens, Phillips & Young, which was later shortened to Hacker Young. The firm continued to grow, opening offices in Manchester and Nottingham in the mid-1960s, marking the beginning of a national network.[7]
Since its foundation, the firm has offered a broad range of services, including bookkeeping and auditing, tax compliance and advice, corporate recovery and company secretarial services. UHY Hacker Young has also helped companies float on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) since its inception in 1995, providing them with advice on pre-IPO fund-raising, admissions, due diligence and tax assistance and planning.
