Get ready for a whole bunch of number crunching: Accountants Mazars has completed its acquisition of financial modelling and training firm Corality Financial Group.
As part of the deal, Corality's training academy and financial modelling services will be rebranded as Corality by Mazars. The new brand will be led by Rickard Warnelid, previously Corality Group's chief executive who will now move across to be a partner in the global infrastructure finance team at Mazars and will be based in Sydney.
"I am delighted to finalise the deal and am excited about the opportunities ahead for our people and our clients," said Bob Green, partner, head of global infrastructure finance at Mazars. "Our clients will now benefit from an even wider geographic reach and broader service offering.
"As part of an international, integrated partnership, the development opportunities for our people are infinite."
