Mazars, the international audit and advisory firm, has announced the implementation of the Mazars North America Alliance.

This alliance will expand the firm’s presence in the region, providing its clients with access to some 40,000 experts spread out on an international platform.

Mazars North America Alliance significantly expands Mazars’ on-the-ground coverage in North America, ensuring global clients access to an additional 16,000 professionals from five major accounting and consulting firms in the United States and Canada.

“This Alliance agreement is a game-changer for Mazars,” said Hervé Hélias, CEO & Chairman of Mazars Group. “We are already present in the US and Canada, and the Alliance significantly strengthens our capability across North America, enabling us to better serve our international clients in the region.”

Mazars North America Alliance is an alliance agreement between Mazars and five leading firms in the US as well as Canada – BKD, Dixon Hughes Goodman, Moss Adams, Plante Moran (US firms) and MNP (Canadian). Geographically, these five Alliance firms will complement Mazars USA and Mazars Canada, allowing Mazars to achieve full national coverage in North America.

With this Alliance, Mazars now has 40,000 professionals serving clients around the globe: 24,000 professionals across 89 countries and territories in Mazars’ unique integrated partnership, and 16,000 professionals in the US and Canada via Mazars North America Alliance. This sheer scale and breadth of talent makes certain that Mazars can offer fully tailored, consistent and high-quality services to clients wherever they are based. 

“The Alliance increases our ability to serve our international clients around the world,” added Mr Hélias. “In a highly concentrated audit and advisory sector, this Alliance provides an alternative. We have a long history of working with these five firms and share the same values of quality, ethics and professionalism. All five firms are registered with the PCAOB – the body overseeing the audits of public companies in the US – and, through the Mazars North America Alliance, they will contribute to the quality and expertise that our large clients expect throughout North America.
