Forvis Mazars acquires MSL, expands presence in Florida

Forvis Mazars, the eighth-largest public accounting firm in the United States, is expanding its Florida footprint with the acquisition of MSL, effective Nov. 1.

The acquisition brings 120 professionals, including 14 partners, and adds offices in Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Tallahassee.

This move strengthens Forvis Mazars’ service capabilities in key sectors like health care, construction, real estate, commercial products and nonprofits. MSL clients will now have access to Forvis Mazars’ international tax and consulting expertise, including resources from Mazars, a Paris-based international audit, tax and advisory firm.

“This partnership allows us to combine strengths to better serve clients in Florida,” said Paul Thompson, Forvis Mazars’ Florida managing partner. “We’re aligned on high-quality service and sustainable growth.”

Forvis, with an existing presence in Tampa, created a new network by uniting with Mazars in June 2024, forming a global presence under the Forvis Mazars brand.
