International accounting network UHY has expanded its presence in Portugal through the addition of Lisbon-based André, Graça & Associados.
The practice joins as a full member.

Under the agreement, André, Graça & Associados will now operate with a UHY prefix and its branding with immediate effect.
Legal services will continue to be delivered through affiliated law firm Franca Pinto & Castelo Branco Associados.
André, Graça & Associados was set up in 2009 by managing partner Paulo Gil André. Since then, it has built a footprint in Lisbon, Porto, and Ponta Delgada in the Azores.
The company advises organisations across a broad range of industries including hospitality and services, manufacturing, property, retail, software and technology.
Its client base also covers start-ups, private equity management entities and investment funds.
The leadership team consists of André, together with partners Vania Graça and Tiago Dias.
André said: “My partners and I have a bold plan for growth in Portugal, and joining UHY is a major milestone for us.
“Becoming part of the network will enhance the support we offer our clients, particularly those with cross-border needs, while allowing us to contribute to UHY’s international ambitions.”
The Lisbon-based practice is already working alongside other UHY member practices.
Current collaboration includes assignments with UHY Fay & Co in Spain, UHY Bendoraytes in Brazil and UHY Hacker Young in the UK for clients with cross-border requirements.
André, Graça & Associados’ admission is part of UHY’s broader push to deepen its presence in high-growth economic centres.
UHY International CEO Rhys Madoc said: “We are delighted to welcome André, Graça & Associados into the UHY network.
“Paulo and his team have built a dynamic, high-quality firm with a strong commitment to client service and professional excellence.
“Their addition strengthens our presence in Portugal and further enhances our ability to support internationally focused clients across the Iberian region.”
Earlier this year, UHY acquired Missouri, US-based tax advisory practice Larson Tax Partners.
