Top-ranked accounting firm FORVIS, which has offices in 79 markets in the US, including Wichita and Kansas City, MO., merged with Paris-headquartered professional services firm Mazars, to create a top ten global network called Forvis Mazars.
The new network was announced last fall and effective June 1, 2024.
Expanded Global Network
Steve Webb, Managing Partner at Forvis Mazars, Wichita, which has about 70 employees, said the new global network will benefit clients in many ways.
“Our new global network will enable us to bring additional resources and more innovative ideas to our clients; especially those who decide establishing international operations is a strategic growth opportunity. Between services provided domestically by Forvis Mazars US and international services provided by Forvis Mazars Global, we will be able to holistically provide clients tailored services to meet their needs,” Webb said.
Purpose of the New Professional Services Network
“Our leadership is committed to maintaining control of the trajectory of our firm. There are a number of changes occurring in the accounting industry including private equity transactions, technological advances with AI, providing additional consulting services to meet the needs of our clients and the challenge of attracting and retaining top talent.
“The formation of this network positions us to face these challenges head on, operate more efficiently while also gaining tools and resources to assist clients. We now have the resources to capitalize even more on technological advances, which will be reflected in the ease we collaborate with each other and our clients and allow our staff career opportunities both in the US and internationally,” Webb said.
The Future For Current Clients
Webb said existing FORVIS clients will not see changes to services.
“We’re adhering to the same standards of quality and unmatched client service delivery we have always provided. We routinely perform client service surveys and our clients consistently give us a net promoter score of 83 which puts us in the ranks of the most elite companies known for their client service.; We are definitely humbled but proud of this score.”
Forvis Mazars has more than 40,000 combined team members with 7,000 employees across the United States and $2 billion of revenues in the U.S. and $5 billion of revenue as a global network.
