The firm provides the full range of audit, tax advisory and corporate finance services covering the region’s key sectors such as manufacturing, oil and construction.

As a local firm, we embrace the international reach by joining UHY to support the development of our local projects, to exchange skills and strengthen our overall technical knowledge. Representing UHY in our country and our region will open up new opportunities and support existing ones. We also hope to bring local expertise in support of international projects - collaboration with mutual benefits.
