Biggest newcomer in global rankings in decades

Forvis Mazars, a top 10 global network*, is the largest new entrant in the rankings in decades. As a network of two firms, Forvis Mazars is unique in the market and offers the agility, capacity, and coverage to support clients anywhere in the world. This move will reduce the current high level of market concentration and thus serve the public interest.

Key leadership positions announced

The network consists of two members: Forvis Mazars, LLP in the United States and Forvis Mazars Group SC, an internationally integrated partnership operating in over 100 countries. The network is managed through a structure that includes a Global Network Board, which is responsible for seamless collaboration and client service worldwide.

Global Network Board

• Hervé Hélias will be the first chair of the Global Network Board. Hélias will also continue to serve as chair of the Forvis Mazars Group, SC (formerly Mazars Group) Executive Committee. Matt Snow, Chairman of Forvis Mazars, LLP (formerly FORVIS, LLP), will serve as Vice Chairman of the Global Network Board.
• In the United States, Tom Watson will continue to serve as CEO of Forvis Mazars, LLP (formerly FORVIS, LLP) and will also sit on the Network Board. Rob Pruitt, Fran Randall, and Tim York of Forvis Mazars, LLP will serve on the Global Network Board.
• David Chaudat, Pascal Jauffret, Véronique Ryckaert, and Phil Verity of the Forvis Mazars Group will serve on the Global Network Board.

"This is a significant time for our clients, our profession, and our employees. Mazars and Forvis have always worked toward a common goal: to create an excellent client experience. We are ideally positioned to deliver excellence under a global brand. Clients worldwide will benefit from consistent, high-quality services, while we respond flexibly to their individual requirements. I am confident that with Forvis Mazars, we will raise the bar for customer service and better meet future needs in local markets."
