David Herbinet, Global Head of Audit & Global Executive Committee Member at Forvis Mazars Group mentioned: “The launch of Forvis Mazars in Moldova marks an exciting new chapter for our firm. The Republic of Moldova’s location between Romania and Ukraine, together with its strong economic ties to the European Union, positions it as a gateway for cross-border business and investment in the region.

Strengthening regional ties

The launch of Forvis Mazars in Moldova reinforces the firm’s strategic presence in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), a region marked by dynamic economic growth and increasing business potential. The Republic of Moldova’s emerging market presents valuable investment opportunities, particularly through trade with Romania and growing EU foreign direct investment. As part of the CEE region - connected especially to offices in Romania, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic - Moldova benefits from seamless collaboration and the ability to deliver integrated solutions to multinational clients.

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova, Romania is the most important trading partner and foreign investor in the Republic of Moldova, with over 1,600 Romanian companies active on the market. These strong economic and cultural ties create significant opportunities for cross-border collaboration and regional growth.

Dino Ebneter, Country Leader, Forvis Mazars in Romania, commented: “The Romanian team plays a supportive role for the local one in the Republic of Moldova. Our collaboration with them builds on decades of shared experience and regional insight. With Romania being the leading investor in the country, we are committed to helping clients leverage these strong economic links, providing guidance and support that spans local, regional and international perspectives.”
