While driving down an East Texas country road I spotted this scene. The autumn trees and the late afternoon sun made these golden bales of hay shine just a little bit more. Fortunately I had my camera with me. (c) James Q. Eddy Jr.

The Springfield headquarters of Forvis are shown on Nov. 15, 2023.

The giant accounting and advisory firm announced Wednesday that it’s joining with the U.S. division of France-based Mazars to create a global network with roughly $5 billion in annual sales.

According to a news release, the network will operate under a single brand, Forvis Mazars, beginning in June of next year.

Globally, it’s expected to rank in the top 10 for companies of its kind. Forvis will gain more international reach, while Mazars, based in Paris, is expected to get a stronger position in the U.S.

The CEO of Mazars told French media Wednesday that a move toward consolidation is going on in the accounting and advisory industry right now.
