CEE Design Sprint 2023: an insider look

29 November 2023 Last month, a few of our colleagues had the exciting opportunity to take part in what we in Mazars know already as the CEE Design Sprint. Now, let us give you a bit of context to what it represents.

24 October 2023 What could happen when all the new managers from Mazars Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) are brought together in a professional yet relaxed setting, to take part, together, in a complex experience from all aspects? Read on to find out!

First steps in Audit | Adriana Horvat

10 August 2023 In the fast-paced world of auditing, the busy season emerges as a period of both difficulty and opportunity, where auditors must navigate through demanding workloads and tight deadlines.

First steps in Audit | Andreea Cucu

2 August 2023 In this interview, Andreea Cucu, Audit Assistant at Mazars in Romania, shares her inspiring story of becoming an auditor, while having studies in completely different fields, such as Law & Forensics and Judicial Psychology.

First steps in Audit | Alexandra Chiriță

7 July 2023 Embarking on a career in auditing can be both exhilarating and challenging, especially during the demanding period known as the „busy season”.

Meet our colleague, Diana Gîrbea, Tax Consultant

31 March 2023 At Mazars, we are innovators; and across the CEE region, our people have shown that the sky is the limit. From creative platforms to inclusive programmes, our teams are always finding new ways to improve, create and excel in their work.

Guiding the next generation

22 February 2023 Sometimes, being a youngster looking for the right opportunity to grow can be a challenge. Not only do I understand the struggle, but it also gave me the idea of talking about it with people more experienced than me, who have been through the same journey.

Meet our colleague, Cătălin Culachi, Audit Analyst

On 17 November, we celebrated the International Students' Day, by starting a series of interviews on our blog, where we discuss with our colleagues, who are students, about the start of their careers, hobbies & passions, mentorships, work-life balance, and so much more.

Creating a balanced life as a student

Life at Mazars - hear from our professionals

Throughout your professional life, making the right choices for your career is always a tough call. It’s a mix of serendipity, focus, knowing what you want but also stepping into the unknown.

The audit profession

27 April 2022 In our firm, audit has been at the heart of our business for more than 72 years, and we strongly believe that this profession is first and foremost about people. Without an engaged, qualified and diverse audit team, it is not possible to perform a value-added audit or to excel at what we do best; by caring about the organisations we audit and their stakeholders, we help build sustainable...

Supporting people in an indefensible war

4 March 2022 It has been over a week now that we have been horrified by the dramatic and shocking events following the invasion of Ukraine by Russian state troops, which have led to a serious war situation in Europe. A week where we have watched our staff running from their bombarded office or homes to find a shelter; or escaping with their children and families to reach neighbouring countries where...

Reforming the auditing profession

18 February 2022 As we live and work in a rapidly changing world, stress has become a common factor. It is a normal human reaction, but it is our duty to take care of our mind and body. High levels of adrenaline can lead to positive effects (keep us alert, motivated, and prepared to avoid dangerous situations) or can become a problem if we don't learn how to deal with them.

My greatest passion

8 October 2021 „Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.”, says our colleague, Marius Pirpiliu, who recently participated at the Iezer Păpușa Marathon. Like you have probably seen in our past articles or social media posts, our colleagues at Mazars are very passionate about running. Whether we are talking about races, charity runs, wanting to beat personal bests, exploring nature or witnessing...

Mazars University

Education is the backbone of Mazars’ talent and leadership development strategy. Our clients await educated answers to complex questions, our people expect to augment their employability along with a strong sense of belonging.

First ultramarathon experience, a passion of many

30 July 2021 Why do you think people run? Someone told me at the beginning of the pandemic that running is their „happy pill”, and that makes perfect sense. From overcoming unwanted feelings and dealing with grief, to helping others and creating a space of relaxation, the reasons that people turn to running are very diverse and personalised to everyone’s needs.

Celebrating young people's voices and experiences

International Youth Day is celebrated every year on August 12th and gives us all an opportunity to celebrate and mainstream young peoples’ voices, actions and initiatives. Today, we would like you to meet our colleague, Adina Maholea, HR & Payroll Consultant.

A tale of two cities. From Verona to Bucharest

Sometimes, a simple change of scenery it’s all that it takes and, as always, every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Our colleague, Davide, is part of the audit team in Romania since February and we were curious to find out why he chose to make this change and how does it feel to have this cultural experience. We hope you will enjoy his story!

The modern pandemic through our colleague’s eyes

These days, „When will we get back to normal?” is the first question that makes its way through every conversation and it’s totally understandable. The truth is, that we will get back to normal someday, but we will not be the same people we were before the pandemic started. We will be more understanding, kind, considerate and eager to lend a helping hand.

What are you doing this weekend?

Everybody loves this question. But why? Be honest…how many times have you received it before this whole COVID-19 situation? What about at the moment?

IWD - Alina Simion & Andrada Șurubaru

This month, we are celebrating women all over the world. Happy International Women's Day! #IWD2020 #EachforEqual

13 December 2024

When navigating the early stages of our career, we cannot help but recognise the importance of trial and error, of being adaptable and open to new adventures. Today, one of our youngest ever colleagues has generously accepted our invitation to talk about his experience with us. Beda has been, for the last three months, the intern in our MarCom & Business Development department, in the quest to discover his true passion and a career path that will best suit him. Together, we explore aspects such as motivation, growth, comfort zones and cultural differences, in the following interview.

This year’s edition of the CEE New Managers training brought together colleagues from the entire region of Central and Eastern Europe, for three days full of learning and new discoveries.

8 October 2024

The Forvis Mazars for Good Challenge came to life as a company-wide initiative at the international level, inspired by our commitment to have a positive impact towards the environment through our every action. Each year, throughout the month of July, we encourage our people to get involved in the challenge, to be active and monitor their progress. Each kilometer ran is taken into consideration at the end of the month, being converted into a donation to a local NGO. Although each effort, no matter how big or small, is appreciated and makes a difference for our end result, to make the challenge more fun and motivating, this year the most active person was rewarded with a ticket for the Budapest Half Marathon. Aurelia Neagu, Manager, Audit & Assurance, was our winner this year. We follow her adventure, alongside her experience discovering sport as a passion, in the interview below.

3 September 2024

Both corporate governance and business transparency are two concepts that have drawn more and more attention towards them in the last few years. While they have become essential to the sustainable growth of any organisation, with just a bit of research we can find that more clarity is needed, concerning what the concepts mean and what the career opportunities in those areas might be. With the help of Arina Macrea, Manager, Corporate Governance, Internal Control and Risk Management at Forvis Mazars in Romania, we hope to shed some light on those concepts and showcase their strategic importance within a business.

Do you know the perfect career for you? Let’s find out together!

They say that the perfect job doesn’t exist, only the perfect job for you. But have you ever wondered how successful people choose their careers? At least a few thousand recipes for success, coming from people from across the world lay just a few touches of a screen away from us. Some of them are counting on familiarity and the aspects that every individual is accustomed to, and others on a rather vague prediction concerning the evolution of the labour market in the following years. Adventuring in this exercise, we couldn’t help but stop at a certain point and realise that the solution can be found much closer to home.

27 June 2024

When thinking about social responsibility, here, at Forvis Mazars, we think about more than what we must do, we think about what we want to do, what impact we want to have, and what kind of actions we want to define us. Throughout the years, we have found the answer to that, an answer that transformed into a concept, a plan, and finally a concrete initiative. Today, we are talking about Community Day, an initiative near and dear to our hearts, reaching its third edition this year. Through it, we have learned what a united team can do and how powerful we can be when we work together for a greater goal. Ready to dive in?
