New Delhi [India], November 16: Mazars, the leading international audit, tax, and advisory firm and FORVIS, the eighth largest public accounting firm in the United States, today jointly announce they will create a new, top 10 global network, effective 1 June 2024. The new network will position both firms for continued global growth by expanding their capabilities to serve clients, especially those with international needs.
The network will operate under a single brand worldwide, Forvis Mazars. With around EUR4.7bn ($5bn) in revenue, Forvis Mazars will be a new entrant in the top 10 global network rankings. Uniquely formed of just two members, the network is designed to be agile, deliver consistency and have the global scale to meet clients’ needs. Both network members will remain owned by their current respective partnerships. Effective 1 June 2024, Mazars USA will join Forvis Mazars in the U.S.
“I am really delighted that Mazars and FORVIS have taken this transformational step and am excited about the opportunities it presents for both firms in serving our clients and supporting our people,” says Herve Helias, Chairman of the Executive Board, Mazars Group. “We’re proud to bring a pioneering new network model to our industry and are excited to continue this journey together.
