Mazars In Austria

What Mazars In Austria does

Forvis Mazars - Österreich (formerly Mazars in Austria, founded 1981) is the Austrian member firm of the Forvis Mazars global professional services partnership, operating from offices in Vienna and Krems. The firm delivers a multi-disciplinary advisory platform organized around seven core service lines: Audit & Assurance, Tax, Outsourcing, Financial Advisory, IT Consulting, Sustainability, and Legal (delivered through an external partner). Within these lines, it offers specialized sub-services such as equal pay audits, governance/risk/compliance, transfer pricing, international tax and Pillar 2, M&A tax, HR and payroll outsourcing, deal advisory, SAP consulting, and sustainable real estate advisory. The client base spans Austrian enterprises and mid-market (Mittelstand) companies across eleven verticals including Financial Services, Manufacturing, Retail, Energy & Infrastructure, Life Sciences, Public Sector, Real Estate, TMT, Transport & Logistics, Family Businesses, and Private Equity, with cross-border mandates routed through the 100-country, 40,000-professional Forvis Mazars network.

The business model is engagement-based professional services: revenue is generated through fees quoted on scope, complexity, and client requirements, with no public pricing or subscription model disclosed. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales through the Vienna and Krems offices, supported by digital channels (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), email newsletters, and thought-leadership content such as the C-suite Barometer, tax guides, and industry reports. Service delivery is augmented by a Klient:innenportal (client portal) for engagement management, document exchange, and client access.

The Austrian entity is wholly aligned with the Forvis Mazars Group under a global partnership structure following the rebrand from Mazars in 2024 after the Mazars-FORVIS combination. The firm does not disclose Austrian-specific revenue, headcount, or partner counts, and no AI/ML capabilities, patents, awards, or independent certifications are publicly reported in the input data. Leadership includes Managing Director Bettina Maria Szaurer, appointed as part of the post-combination governance refresh.

Broad incumbents

• Deloitte Austria: Deloitte's Austrian practice offers the same comprehensive audit, tax, advisory, consulting, and outsourcing services as Forvis Mazars Austria. As one of the Big Four in Austria, it competes for the largest audit mandates and cross-border engagements where Forvis Mazars is structurally excluded, while also contesting advisory and tax work across all of Forvis Mazars Austria's vertical segments.
• KPMG Austria: KPMG Austria provides audit, tax, legal, deal advisory, and consulting services to Austrian corporates and international clients. As the fourth Big Four Austrian firm, it competes head-to-head with Forvis Mazars Austria across audit, advisory, and the financial services vertical (its traditional strength in insurance and banking is comparable to Forvis Mazars Austria's Financial Services segment).
• PwC Austria: PwC's Austrian arm provides audit, tax, legal, and advisory services to Austrian and international clients across the same verticals as Forvis Mazars Austria. As a Big Four firm, it competes directly for Austrian statutory audits and M&A/PE deal advisory, and similarly targets the Mittelstand and family-business segments that Forvis Mazars Austria emphasizes.
