Mazars, an internationally integrated partnership specialising in audit, accountancy, advisory, and tax services, is experiencing substantial growth on a global scale. With operations in over 100 countries, Mazars employs more than 47,000 individuals, providing support to clients of varying sizes at every developmental stage. Natalie Wright, the Leeds office managing partner, emphasises guiding business owners and private individuals through financial complexities.
In a strategic expansion move, Mazars has formed a collaboration with FORVIS, the eighth largest public accounting firm in the United States. Starting from 1 June, this partnership establishes Forvis Mazars as a top 10 global accounting network. This alliance aims to broaden Mazars’ international reach, offering enhanced support for clients looking to expand into the US, while generating US investment opportunities within the UK. The initiative also promises growth and development avenues for Mazars’ personnel, boosting prospects for international secondments.
Mazars places a strong emphasis on accessibility, engagement, and collaboration within its team dynamics and client relationships. The adoption of technology as a service enabler distinguishes Mazars from its competitors, ensuring an enriched experience for clients and their advisers. Their firm-wide culture programme, agreed upon by 2,200 UK team members, is grounded in principles of integrity, respect, and responsibility, forming the bedrock of Mazars’ operations.
The organisation demonstrates a robust commitment to diversity and inclusion, reflected in achieving an equitable gender ratio intake for trainees in its Leeds office last year. Over recent years, Mazars has refined its recruitment strategies, focusing on diversity groups through external partnerships and targeted events. Their contextual recruitment process considers candidates’ socio-economic backgrounds, supplementing traditional academic and professional evaluations. This approach has significantly widened Mazars’ reach and diversified its talent pool.
Engagement with local communities remains a priority for Mazars, particularly in Leeds where the office actively contributes to social initiatives. The team establishes partnerships with local schools and universities, engages in fundraising for charities such as Simon on the Streets, and mandates annual corporate social responsibility activities for employees. Initiatives supporting youth through educational programmes like IntoUniversity and Young Enterprise further exemplify Mazars’ dedication to community involvement.
Mazars combines global growth with a steadfast commitment to diversity and community engagement, exemplifying leadership in both local and international spheres.
