Mazars, the integrated and independent international organisation specialising in audit, accountancy, tax, legal and consulting services, announces 2014-2015 fiscal year results of €1.252bn. This figure is up by 15.9% as compared to the last year, driven mainly by 6.0% organic growth and 6.0% external growth - in particular from the merger with Roever Broenner Susat in early 2015.
In December 2015, Mazars finalized a merger with Chinese audit firm ZhongShen ZhongHuan, to create a full-service firm with the ability to support clients in 77 countries. This merger will bring together more than 1,800 professionals, including 83 partners, from 15 offices across mainland China. Recognized as a leader in the financial services industry (notably in the banking and insurance sectors), Mazars will combine its expertise with ZhongShen ZhongHuan’s market reach. With more talents joining in 2016, China is expected to exceed 10% of Mazars Group’s turnover. In 2015, Mazars also completed mergers in Germany, Australia, Mozambique and Cyprus.
