Mazars, an international group specializing in audit and advisory services, and Weiser, an audit and advisory firm with a strong presence in the Northeast region of the United States, have announced plans to combine.

Partners from both entities have voted to incorporate 74 Weiser partners into Mazars’ international integrated partnership. Reflecting this new arrangement, Weiser will become a Mazars member firm and be renamed WeiserMazars LLP. The deal marks a new stage in the Mazars’ international development, and means that it will have member firm offices in 56 countries, served by 12,500 professionals, including over 680 partners.

Mazars and Weiser, which employs more than 650 professionals and has annual revenues of $135 million, have maintained a close and fruitful relationship for the last ten years via a joint venture agreement. "This combination is the result of our excellent relationship, our shared values and commitment to offering high-quality services to our clients," said Patrick de Cambourg, Chairman and CEO of Mazars. “This enhanced relationship is a natural development based on our mutual trust."

“Serving our clients means helping them on a global level, beyond borders. This is why we made the choice to develop an international joint venture with Mazars in 2000," said Douglas Phillips, Weiser chairman. "[W]e are happy to develop our relationship with Mazars by fully joining the Mazars international integrated partnership, as we know that when like-minded professionals work together, they obtain excellent results.”
