Forvis Mazars appoints audit partner in East Midlands

Forvis Mazars has appointed Mitesh Thakrar as its audit partner in the East Midlands. Following the recent launch of Forvis Mazars, Thakrar joins the firm at a “period of great opportunity” in the region. He will be joining an expanding local partnership team following the appointments of Andy Hickson, Claire Cowen and Mark Surridge last September.

Thakrar has spent his entire career in the East Midlands and specialises in working with privately owned businesses. He joins the firm from Azets, where he was a partner and regional head of Audit (East Midlands).

In his new role, he will be responsible for further strengthening the audit practice and growing the firm’s client base in the region.

The East Midlands team has seen the team expand by 10% over the last year, and income has risen to over £40m across the region. 

Steve English, office managing partner for Forvis Mazars across the East Midlands said: “Mitesh brings over a decade’s experience of working in audit and serving clients across the East Midlands. 

“His insights into the local market will be invaluable as we look to continue to grow our presence and offering in the region. Mitesh’s dedication to his clients and to audit quality mean he will be a fantastic addition to the team and we look forward to welcoming him.”
