Mazars can now serve its clients from its location in Basel as well. According to the company, it plans to use the new office to accelerate its growth in Switzerland “in this strategically crucial region.” Basel Area Business & Innovation, the investment and innovation promotion agency, supported the decision-making process. Mazars with its specific profile will contribute to the differentiated and broad offering of auditing, tax advice, and consulting companies in the cluster of Basel Area.

Mazars states that the Basel Area is an important European hub due to its location and geographical proximity to Germany and France. This is why it seemed logical to the company and contributed to their development priorities to open a new office in the dynamic city of Basel with one of the best life sciences clusters in the world. This brings Mazars closer to many existing clients based in and around the city on the banks of the Rhine.

Sponsor of accelerator DayOne Health 4.0

Fabio Cavalieri, Executive Director Audit & Assurance at Mazars in Basel, states: “We are already very active in the region and promote local entrepreneurship through the Swiss Venture Club, which also includes the Prix SVC Nordschweiz award, and sponsor local healthtech startups in collaboration with Day One and Basel Area Business & Innovation.” Mazars is one of the supporting partners of the accelerator DayOne Health 4.0 for scale-ups tackling digital health.

José Caneda, Country Managing Partner Switzerland at Mazars, also notes his particular connection to Basel: originally from Solothurn, he was born in the city of Basel.

As of 2023, Mazars is active in more than 95 countries and regions across the world and has more than 47,000 employees. A total of 30,000 members of staff work in an integrated partnership with Mazars and more than 17,000 in the Mazars North America Alliance. In Switzerland, the company is now supported by 400 employees at a total of ten locations. With the office in Basel, Mazars is now doubly represented in the Basel Area. The company already opened an office in Delémont in 2019, in the same building that houses the Jura Office for Economic Affairs and Employment and the Economic Development at Rue de la Jeunesse 1.
