Forvis Mazars extends its presence in CEE with the integration of Taxaco Group in Moldova
This latest move reinforces Forvis Mazars' commitment to driving growth and innovation in the country and across the Central and Eastern Europe region, building on decades of collaboration with Taxaco Group.
The new office will be led by Managing Partner Iuri Cicibaba, with support from Audit Partner Vera Baciu and Tax Partner Vladimir Melnic.
Iuri Cicibaba, Country Managing Partner of Forvis Mazars in Moldova, commented: “Becoming part of Forvis Mazars is a game-changer for our firm and the Moldovan business landscape. This integration propels us onto the global stage, equipping us with unparalleled resources for our clients and a bold vision for the future. Now, as Forvis Mazars in Moldova, we are committed to redefining excellence in professional services, delivering innovative, high-impact solutions that empower businesses to thrive in an increasingly complex world.”
Cicibaba adds: “Moldova is an emerging market with immense potential, and we have the opportunity to drive progress, deliver excellence, and contribute to the country’s economic development. Our clients will benefit from access to world-class audit, tax and advisory services, from an organisation with a track record in prioritising innovation, integrity, and long-term partnerships. With the support of Dino Ebneter and the Romanian team, our transition is set to be seamless, ensuring that Moldova’s businesses continue to receive the highest level of expertise and support.”
In the past few years, Forvis Mazars Group has significantly expanded its operations in the Central and Eastern European region, entering Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lithuania, North Macedonia, and Latvia. The firm has also shown 13% growth in the region in the last year alone.
Commenting on its official entry to the market, Country Managing Partner of Forvis Mazars in Romania, Dino Ebneter, said: “Marking a significant milestone in our regional growth strategy, this expansion underscores our commitment to serving clients across Eastern Europe and strengthening our presence in emerging markets. By leveraging our 30-year established presence in Romania and our extensive global capabilities, we are well-positioned to make a meaningful contribution to Moldova's business ecosystem. Our team will remain focused on delivering the same high-quality services and professional excellence that Forvis Mazars is known for worldwide.”
Ebneter concluded: “We are excited about the opportunities this new chapter of our relationship and latest growth opportunity brings, and we look forward to building on the relationships we’ve established, to drive continued growth and success for businesses in Moldova and beyond.”
