Forvis Mazars, LLP ranks among the U.S. top 10 public accounting firms, providing assurance, tax, and consulting services. In June 2024, Forvis Mazars Global network was formed between FORVIS and Mazars.

Forvis Mazars is a member of the Praxity group, a global alliance of independent accountancy and consulting firms. Forvis Mazars is the largest member of the Praxity group from the United States. The firm's affiliation with Praxity enables interaction with international clients, as well as provides global support and resources .

Forvis Mazars offers advisory, assurance, audit and tax services, including state and local tax, international tax, real estate cost segregation, transfer pricing, wealth management, employee benefit plans, valuation services, business transition services and information technologies.

Forvis Mazars was formed by the merger of two large accounting firms BKD and Dixon Hughes Goodman on June 1, 2022. They announced a new name on April 28, 2022, choosing the name "FORVIS", a combination of "Forward Vision".

In 1922, three men—William Baird, Wade Kurtz and Claire Dobson—decided to start their own firm with offices in Kansas City and Joplin, Missouri, after the disbandment of the Montgomery Firm, where the three had been employed. On January 2, 1923, the men took the $1,700 they had in the bank and opened their business: Baird, Kurtz & Dobson.

Initially, the firm looked to expand to St. Louis and Chicago, but the 1929 stock market crash and subsequent Great Depression curtailed growth, forcing the firm to build its clientele and reputation in Kansas City and Joplin.

After World War II, a growth period began. A third office opened in Springfield, Missouri, in July 1948, and a uranium boom led the firm to purchase a tax practice in Grand Junction, Colorado.

The 1960s represented a period of significant change. In 1964, the firm drafted its formal partnership agreement, which still exists today. The passage of the Medicare Act in 1965 led the firm to focus on growing its health care practice, which today constitutes the firm's largest industry focus.
