What Mazars does

Mazars, now operating globally as Forvis Mazars, is a privately-held international professional services partnership headquartered originally in France, with Australian operations based in North Sydney. The firm delivers audit and assurance, tax compliance and advisory, business and financial consulting, outsourcing, sustainability/ESG, and private client services to enterprise and mid-market clients across 11 vertical segments including financial services, manufacturing, life sciences, real estate, energy, technology, and public sector. Its revenue model is traditional professional services engagement-based billing with no publicly disclosed pricing, targeting multinational corporations, family businesses, private equity firms, and government entities globally.

The firm's technology layer comprises two proprietary platforms: inControl, a global compliance monitoring and workflow management dashboard with KPI tracking, and Signals, a tax administration collaboration portal enabling client-adviser interaction on tax returns and annual accounts. The broader service portfolio spans audit and assurance, tax, consulting, financial advisory, outsourcing (including cloud accounting and payroll), sustainability/ESG services, disputes and investigations, HR/IR consulting, superannuation, government grants advisory, and people and organisation advisory.

Forvis Mazars operates a direct sales-led GTM targeting enterprise and mid-market clients through a network spanning 100 countries and territories, with approximately 40,000 professionals globally. In Australia specifically, the firm maintains offices in Melbourne and Sydney, leveraging the 35-year operating history of predecessor firms (Duncan Dovico, Hanrick Curran, Cummings Flavel McCormack). Marketing channels include content marketing, industry publications, podcasts, webinars, events, and active social media presence. The firm recently completed a 2025 global rebrand from Mazars to Forvis Mazars, establishing a distinct international network identity, and faces a regulatory headwind following a HK$1.4 million fine from Hong Kong's Accounting and Financial Reporting Council for audit file archiving breaches.
