Forvis Mazars appoints Deniz Nadiri as Managing Partner for London Office

Forvis Mazars, a leading global professional services network, has appointed Deniz Nadiri as Office Managing Partner (OMP) in London. She takes on the role from Richard Karmel who remains in the firm but is stepping aside after 11 years as OMP to focus on other projects.

As OMP, Deniz will be responsible for driving forward the firm’s business strategy and presence in London. She is specifically focused on enhancing client experience and continuing to serve clients with excellence, as well as driving greater collaboration and integration across the business, and creating a deepened sense of community.

Deniz Nadiri, Partner and Forvis Mazars London Office Managing Partner, said: “I am delighted to have been appointed the Office Managing Partner for Forvis Mazars in London. Our London office is a very special and important part of our UK and global business. We are the largest Forvis Mazars office in the UK, and one of the largest in our global network. As we continue to grow, it’s increasingly important that our teams work together to deliver the best services and solutions for our clients. Embracing and nurturing our rich talent and diverse community in London, with a focus on service excellence, will be a key part of our continuing success. I look forward to collaborating with our team as we take our business from strength to strength.”

Deniz joined the firm early last year as FTSE 350 Development Partner. She has been a driving force in co-ordinating a team of Partners and Directors to develop and grow the firm’s work with FTSE 350 businesses, including Audit and Non-Audit services, across the Financial Services and Industry & Services markets. She will continue in this role alongside her work as London OMP. Deniz also leads Forvis Mazars’ gender group, the Balance Network, which promotes gender equity and runs multiple initiatives to remove gender-related barriers people may face during their professional lives.

Deniz takes on the role of OMP during a period of significant growth for the London office. The team is expanding at all levels, with 4 individuals* welcomed into the partnership this September and a further 15 promoted to director. This is in addition to the 16 senior promotions in the London team this financial year.

Meanwhile, as part of plans to further expand the offering in the local area and nurture future talent, 148 early career hires have joined the team in London, consisting of graduate, school leaver and placement students. Across its UK offices, Forvis Mazars has announced over 200 promotions in the firm this September, and has welcomed a total of 357 new trainees.

Phil Verity, UK CEO at Forvis Mazars, adds: “The development and progression of our people is central to our values as a firm, and I’m pleased to celebrate these senior promotions and welcome new joiners to our London office. Under Deniz's leadership, we look forward to strengthening our presence in the London market and continuing to serve our clients with excellence. Growing our London team is an integral part of our strategy and with Deniz at the helm of our London office, I know she will be leading the charge to help attract talented people to join us here at Forvis Mazars.”

In June this year, Forvis Mazars, the newest top 10 global professional services network was launched. Formed of Mazars, the international audit, tax, and advisory firm, and FORVIS, a top ranked firm in the United States, it operates from London with the existing team and services.
