Public accounting and consulting company Forvis Mazars has announced significant leadership expansion with the promotion of 33 new partners and 28 managing directors.

The firm, which has more than 7,000 team members and more than 600 partners and principals in the US, is re-inforcing its commitment to its staff, clients and communities through these promotions.

The new roles will be effective from 1 June 2025 – one year on from the formation of the Forvis Mazars global network.

Among those advancing to partner are Chris Bartell from Saint Louis, Missouri, and Jeremy Berger from Charlotte, North Carolina.

The promotions also span the country, with professionals such as Ricky Brough from Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Dodge Docheff from Tulsa, Oklahoma, taking on new leadership roles.

The list of new managing directors features Stephanie Bostick from San Antonio, Texas, Karen Cardillo from Raleigh, North Carolina, and others from cities such as New York, Lincoln and Little Rock.

Forvis Mazars operates as an independent member of Forvis Mazars Global, providing a wide range of professional services.

The firm’s extensive team delivers assurance, tax and consulting services across all 50 US states and internationally, leveraging the global network to meet the diverse needs of its clients.

Forvis Mazars CEO Tom Watson stated: “As we approach this milestone, we’re seeing the strength of our model come to life.

“Being partner-owned and partner-led is more than an ownership structure – it’s a mindset that prioritises stewardship, mentorship, and long-term success. This class of newly promoted leaders embodies the future of our firm, and we’re proud to invest in their growth as we continue to build a firm that is becoming stronger with each generation.”

In April 2025, Forvis Mazars shared new insights into the growth forecast and key priorities for financial services sector leaders, with 96% of C-suite executives having a “positive growth” outlook.
