  • The firm expanded to 100 employees by April 2026, showing early hiring traction.

What critics are saying

  • Without audit relationships, Deloitte, PwC, EY, and KPMG retain deeper client penetration.
  • Unity reached 100 employees by April 2026, but lacks proven recurring revenue and reference clients.
