In Romania, Mazars posts 5% business growth and appoints a new Director of Audit & Financial Advisory

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.

The Tax Advisory annual growth of more than 15% and the successful launch of the new Financial Advisory Service Line brought the main contribution to this positive evolution of the firm.

On this occasion, Mazars Romania also communicates the expansion of the Audit & Financial Advisory team and the appointment of Ella Chilea as Audit & Financial Advisory Director, a newly created position. Ella previously held the position of Senior Audit Manager with Deloitte Romania, where she worked for 14 years.

Ella has an extensive experience in performing audit and assurance engagements, advisory projects and due diligence projects for both Romanian companies and large international groups from industries such as oil & gas, telecommunications, retail and manufacturing.

Vasile Andrian, Partner, Head of Audit & Financial Advisory: “Following the positive business evolution, we continue to expand our team and diversify the specialized support offered to our traditional and new clients. We are glad to have Ella in our team and work together to address the wide-ranging challenges that companies face nowadays and further increase the complexity of the support offered to major investors in Romania”.

Ella Chilea, Audit & Financial Advisory Director: “I am glad to join such a dynamic and ambitious team. I am looking forward to playing my part in delivering high quality support to Mazars’ clients and setting new milestones together with my colleagues, in expanding the audit and financial advisory practice.”
