Forvis Mazars celebrates new network formation in APAC, announces strong growth in Singapore

The event brought together key global and regional leaders, including Hérve Hélias, Chair of the Forvis Mazars Global Network Executive Board, and Matt Snow, Vice-Chair, to Singapore for the first time since the network's formation in June 2024. Pascal Jauffret, Head of Forvis Mazars in APAC and member of the Forvis Mazars Group Executive Board, and Tom Watson, Chief Executive Officer of Forvis Mazars in the United States, were also in attendance. This gathering symbolised the strength of this unique partnership, highlighting the network's dedication to providing clients with a truly global reach combined with deep local expertise.

Singapore serves as the regional hub for Forvis Mazars' APAC operations, leveraging the city-state's strengths as a global business and financial centre. This strategic decision provides Forvis Mazars with a strong foundation to serve clients across the diverse and dynamic APAC market.

Sustained double-digit growth in Singapore
Forvis Mazars in Singapore reported yet another year of robust financial results for the fiscal year ending 30 August 2024, marking the fourth consecutive year of double-digit growth. The firm achieved a fee income of S$43 million, representing a 17% increase year-on-year. This consistent growth trajectory underscores the firm's strong market position, expanding service offerings, and the success of its client-centric approach.

Expanded service offerings and expertise
Recognising the evolving needs of businesses in the region, Forvis Mazars in Singapore has proactively expanded its service offerings. Since 2023, the firm has added restructuring and insolvency services and financial services consulting to its portfolio, allowing it to provide more comprehensive solutions to clients facing complex challenges. Building on this momentum, the firm is poised to further expand its capabilities with the addition of forensic investigation and compliance services in the near future.

Forvis Mazars in Singapore stands out as one of only two firms, apart from the Big 4, authorised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to provide audit services to the financial services industry. This recognition underscores the firm's deep expertise and unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality services in this specialised and regulated sector.

"We are thrilled to report continued strong growth in Singapore, which is a testament to the dedication of our team and the trust our clients placed in us," commented Rick Chan, Managing Partner, Forvis Mazars in Singapore and Head of Audit and Assurance, Forvis Mazars in APAC. "This sustained success, coupled with the strength of the Forvis Mazars network and our enhanced position as the regional hub, positions us for even greater achievements in the years to come."

Investing in people and culture
This success also reflects Forvis Mazars' commitment to investing in its people and fostering a positive and supportive work environment. This commitment is exemplified by the firm's dedication to talent development and its continuously evolving human resources policies and practices to resonate with its multi-generational workforce. Forvis Mazars invests in holistic programmes that support employees' well-being, growth, and development. These programmes include initiatives that foster work-life integration, such as flexible work arrangements, mental health resources, and other initiatives promoting a healthy balance.

Beyond these programmes, Forvis Mazars cultivates a workplace culture that values open communication and collaboration—nurturing a culture of open communication and breaking down traditional hierarchies to build trust and encourage cross-level collaboration. This approach has led to increased employee engagement and more informed decision-making. The firm aims to create an inclusive and empowering environment where every individual feels valued and can thrive.

This dedication to employee well-being and development has been recognised for the eighth consecutive year by HR Asia, which named Forvis Mazars in Singapore as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Asia. This award highlights the firm's commitment to creating a workplace where employees feel valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

"We believe in building our people while building our clients," said Rick. "We are dedicated to providing them with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive personally and professionally. This commitment is essential to our continued success and our ability to deliver exceptional service to our clients."
