What Forvis Mazars does

Forvis Mazars, LLP is a US-based professional services firm operating as a limited liability partnership that resulted from the acquisition of Mazars' US operations by Forvis, now operating under the combined brand within the Forvis Mazars Global Network (ranked top 10 globally by revenue). The firm delivers an integrated platform spanning three service lines — Assurance (audit, reviews, SOC/HITRUST, IT audits, lease accounting), Tax (federal specialty, SALT, international, controversy, transformation, M&A tax, private client), and Consulting (AI strategy, healthcare consulting, forensics, internal audit, transaction advisory, valuation, outsourcing, public sector, regulatory, ESG) — organized around 15+ industry verticals including Healthcare & Life Sciences, Financial Services, Higher Education, Private Equity, Construction, Manufacturing, TMT, and Nonprofit.

The firm's technology stack is a hybrid of a professional services delivery platform and a proprietary SaaS portfolio. Proprietary products include SALT Explorer (50-state construction sales-and-use tax estimation), ProBank Advisor (compliance advisory portal for community/regional banks), TaxCred PRO for NMTC (deal modeling post-OBBBA permanence), Program Economic Analysis (higher education benchmarking across 300+ institutions), IntegraReport (ethics hotline), LeaseVision, LoanPricingPRO, HFS+, Pulse, Workforce Productivity Manager, Freight Network Navigator, Payment Risk Analytics, Physical Climate Risk Dashboard, SNF Rate Calculator, Home Health Payment Rates, Denials Management Monitoring, The Reporting Solution, and the R&D Tax Credit Explorer. These products are integrated with Microsoft Dynamics 365, Copilot Studio, and Azure AI Foundry through a certified Microsoft partnership that anchors the firm's AI Strategy & Integration services. The firm is also an authorized CMMC Third-Party Assessment Organization (C3PAO).

Forvis Mazars makes money primarily through professional services engagements (quote-based, multi-year) sold via industry-aligned sector leaders and RFP/demo funnels, supplemented by subscription revenue from proprietary SaaS products, transaction-based advisory fees (M&A, valuation), and channel/partner ecosystem revenue (notably its 2025 Avalara Accountant Firm of the Year recognition). The US workforce of 7,700+ serves mid-market and enterprise clients across all 50 states, with international presence in Edinburgh (UK) and Hamburg (Germany), and global reach through the Forvis Mazars Global Network. The firm is recognized on Inside Public Accounting's Top 75, Forbes America's Best Employers for Company Culture 2025, and serves as independent auditor for multiple public companies.
