I’m at another firm trying to work with the former Forvis team and they are in way over their head. The ex Mazars team have been pretty sharp. This is all anecdotal of course.

BKD and DHG merged and then acquired Mazars US

They do the same work as Big 4 and get paid less. Don’t really get why you’d work there regardless of culture.

Not in audit, but there’s a lot of work to be done to really operate as one firm. It’s very disjointed right now but given all of the change, I expected this when I joined. It’s going to take some time to get there but I wanted to try middle market and was not interested in a PE owned firm. Compared to Big 4, the culture is good based on what I have experienced in my market.

Working on a client that came over from them this year. On both audit and tax there were huge issues that we had to correct.

And its not like we are a big 4 that would have more resources.

To be fair, your firm is sorta in the same bucket of quality. I work doing diligence and anything from EisnerAmper, Baker Tilly, Forvis etc is all woefully short of appropriate technical knowledge.

Also, clients hold on to important info and don’t initiate a call cause they’re waiting for me to communicate with them.
