Old School Accounting Firm - Anonymous employee UHY LLP Employee Review

If you value growth, training and development, technology, leadership, diversity or flexibility this is not the place for you. A large percentage of the partners are 60+ year old white men, processes are still manual (most partners don’t even know how to use excel) and some like things done on paper, you won’t be able to work remotely (if you do it will be frowned upon). Complete lack of efficiency. The firms sells itself as "midsized" when in reality they are small and very regionally focused. Just by walking into the office you can see the look/feel that of an old school accounting firm (all wooden large furniture/oversized cubes not conducive to modern workspace). There is little no connection of the NY region to any other regional locations other than sharing a name. The culture is toxic, brought on by toxic partners who fight to keep toxic employees despite receiving feedback from staff that these are the exact reasons for their departures. The regional CEO is a complete joke with zero leadership skills, he lets the partners who scream the loudest walk all over him; the others get nothing because they’re not loud enough.(audit is always favored since the CEO is/was an audit partner) Everything is a political game and if you aren’t in with the right people you’ll never get anywhere within the organization. They are stubborn and refuse to recognize the changing labor market. NYC has hundreds if not thousands of other firms; this one is not worth considering. Go to an actual midsized firm where they want you to grow, learn and succeed not just put your head down for 20 years and hope sometimes retires so you can take on their book.
