The accounting profession, and certainly the public profession, is a relevant and beautiful, challenging position. Our quality vision 'Forvis Mazars enhances confidence through leading quality' expresses a correspondingly ambitious and appealing corporate culture. Working together with colleagues and clients on the development of organisations and people, contributing to the public interest and modernising and innovating where possible have always given me energy. Perseverance, transparency and honest behaviour are elements in this that are valuable to me.
