In Germany, this strategic merger will position Mazars in the Top 10 in the industry.
The new entity turns to 1,000 staff, including 68 partners, spread out in 12 offices around the country.

Philippe Castagnac, Mazars’ Group CEO and Chairman of the Executive Board, underlines that “the European Audit Reform is opening new doors for Mazars, a bona fide international partnership with European origins. Welcoming Roever Broenner Susat into our firm strengthens our position at the heart of Europe’s first economic power. It’s a smart move”.

Our capacities are very complementary and this merger will allow us to provide our clients with quality internationally-focused services”, emphasise Gregor Kunz, Dr. Christoph Regierer and Dr. Jost Wiechmann, on Roever Broenner Susat’s side.
Mazars started activity in Germany in 1977, with the first office open in Frankfurt. Merging with Roever Broenner Susat will enable Mazars, already present in Germany, to create an influential player in the national and international scope of Europe’s heftiest economy.
