What Forvis Mazars does

Forvis Mazars is a privately held, internationally integrated professional services network operating as a cooperative (Forvis Mazars Group SC, domiciled in Belgium) with member firms delivering services across 100+ countries and territories and approximately 40,000 professionals. Formed in June 2024 through the merger of Mazars and FORVIS, the network is organised around nine industry groups (Consumer; Energy & Infrastructure; Financial Services; Life Sciences; Manufacturing; Private Equity; Public & Social Sector; Real Estate; and TMT) and nine service lines (Audit & Assurance; Consulting; Financial Advisory; Legal; Outsourcing; Sustainability; Tax; International Desks; and Private Client Services). FY24/25 global revenue of $5.7bn was split 45% Audit & Assurance, 23% Tax, 21% Advisory, and 11% Outsourcing, reflecting a horizontally diversified professional services portfolio serving clients from SMEs to the largest multinational corporations.

The firm monetises through engagement-based professional services fees, with UK operations disclosing multi-year contracts and pricing determined by scope, complexity, and seniority of deployed teams. Distribution is direct via the member firm office network, supplemented by certified-implementation-partner relationships with technology vendors (Sage Intacct, FloQast, Trintech) that enable the firm to bundle digital-transformation delivery with its advisory work. Recent inorganic moves include the September 2024 acquisition of James Byrne & Co. (Ireland, growing Irish headcount to nearly 900) and a March 2026 acquisition of an Arizona-based firm, alongside organic headcount expansion (UK now 3,500+, 1,145 UK promotions in FY24/25). The core technology stack is professional judgement delivered through coordinated global teams, augmented by AI-enabled close and ERP automation through third-party vendor partnerships and proprietary research assets such as the C-suite Barometer and the CEE M&A report co-produced with Mergermarket. Two regulatory matters are disclosed: an AFRC fine for archiving-rule breaches and a Senegal government-commissioned audit tied to the IMF-flagged $13bn debt misreporting matter, both of which are execution-risk signals rather than structural weaknesses.
