About Yulish
Yulish & Associates was founded in 1993 to provide accounting, tax and consulting services to small businesses. Due to increased demand, we elected in 1999 to focus exclusively on supporting the alternative investment community. Our belief was that the alternative investment industry was poised for explosive growth, which in turn, would create numerous opportunities to support emerging businesses in the space.
The alternative investment industry has indeed become a major force in the financial markets. Unfortunately for investment managers, this growth has not translated into a reduction of costs at the service-provider level. Investment managers are finding it increasingly difficult to find cost-effective support for their businesses.
At Yulish & Associates, our mission is to provide our clients with the highest quality service personalized to their specific needs at price levels that will preserve manager performance – essential in an increasingly competitive environment. Our commitment to these principles has enabled us to build our practice entirely on referrals and client word-of-mouth.
