UHY to Close Office

Larry Kaplan (pictured), managing partner of UHY’s Massachusetts practice, has told the Worcester (Mass.) Business Journal that the firm has laid off three employees from the Westborough, Mass., office, and will shut it down May 1, a year to the day after the company’s merger with Westborough-based Carlin, Charron & Rosen was supposed to close.

The remaining 10 staff members, mostly tax accountants, will move to UHY’s Boston offices.

He said leaving Westborough had “nothing at all to do” with the failed merger last year between UHY and Carlin Charron & Rosen. UHY would’ve taken on CCR’s more than 280 employees in Westborough, Providence, R.I., and Glastonbury, Conn.

UHY has about 1,200 employees in 20 offices, including about 120 in Boston and about 100 between two offices in Hartford and New Haven, Conn.
