Hello, I’m Lara!
My story is all about seeing potential.
I joined the firm 18 years ago as a school-leaver as university wasn’t an option for me. Ever since, Forivs Mazars supported me to grow and provided an environment where I could make opportunities for myself.
I had two pregnancy breaks and came back stronger each time. At the very least, being a parent really sharpens your negotiation skills! Because of this I strongly believe in equal opportunity and social mobility.
I’m now a Partner in the Accounting and outsourcing team, and I was one of the youngest ever females to join the partnership. Forvis Mazars saw my potential and supported me to grow.
In the same way, I now help Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) to grow. We help SMEs outsource their finance and accounting functions where they aren’t large enough to run in-house. Then, when they grow, we grow with them, tailoring our support to their needs at each business stage.
Everyone talks about big corporations. But privately-owned SMEs make up 99% of UK’s business sector. They are the ones innovating, disrupting and creating new markets, it’s the drive for innovation that I love.
The same entrepreneurial spirit inspired me to grow our outsourcing business. And I now work with the international team developing our strategy for growing the SME business.
I was empowered to essentially build my own business within Forvis Mazars and they believed in my potential to succeed.
Joining Forvis Mazars means taking part in an exciting, entrepreneurial adventure and seizing the opportunity to quickly grow your potential. We are proud to offer a working environment where everyone is treated with respect and given opportunities to shine. The firm promotes an environment in which you can grow your skills, belong to a team that values your ideas and make an impact that matters.
