Andersen adds professional services firm in Uzbekistan
Global professional services firm Andersen has elevated its collaborating firm in Uzbekistan to full member status within the network.
Founded in 2009 as Virtus Leo, the Tashkent-based firm has been a collaborating firm with Andersen since 2021. Per the start of this month, the company has transitioned to the Andersen brand.
Led by managing partner Alisher Zaynutdinov, the firm provides tax and legal services across a wide range of sectors, including corporate and individual tax compliance, direct and indirect tax advisory, transfer pricing, management reporting and analysis, corporate governance, antitrust and competition, corporate and banking law, labor and employment, litigation and investigation, mergers & acquisitions, real estate, energy, and intellectual property.
“With a foundation built on professionalism, transparency, and a solutions-oriented and analytical approach to every engagement, we are well-positioned to support clients in an evolving regulatory landscape,” said Zaynutdinov. “Becoming a member firm of Andersen marks a significant step in our firm’s growth and allows us to more closely align with the organization’s international presence.”
Headquartered in the US, Andersen provides a wide range of tax, valuation, and financial advisory services to individuals, families, businesses, and investment funds. Re-launched in 2012, the network now spans member firms in more than 100 countries and has a combined workforce of over 44,000 people.
Andersen also has a consulting arm, Andersen Consulting, which re-launched at the start of this year.
“The addition of a member firm in Uzbekistan strengthens our regional platform in a market that is increasingly important for international business and cross-border investments,” said Mark Vorsatz, Chairman and CEO of Andersen. “Alisher and his team bring a breadth of knowledge, a strong reputation, and a proven commitment to quality. Their comprehensive understanding of local regulations will play a key role in supporting our clients across Central Asia.”
