Allison said: “It’s a privilege to have been appointed Edinburgh office managing partner and entrusted with shaping the firm’s presence in the region over the coming years. As OMP, I hope to have a positive impact on all my colleagues in Edinburgh and will continue to foster a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive environment, as well as nurturing the development of those at the earlier stage of their careers. This will enable us to continue to offer the highest quality of services to our clients, working closely with them as they navigate a changing landscape under a new Government”.

By GlobalDataThe Edinburgh office of Forvis Mazars has reported double-digit revenue growth in the fiscal year 22-23 and a 10% rise in headcount.
In the past year, Forvis Mazars’ Scottish operations have broadened their service offerings, introducing specialist areas such as transfer pricing and insurance risk consulting. The firm has also made hires across its key business areas.
Additionally, the Edinburgh team has welcomed two new partners Connie Crawford as IT audit partner and Ryan Crilley as audit partner.
Laura Clarkson said: “Jennifer is a pivotal member of our team and we’re delighted to be recognising her efforts across the business and appointing her as Edinburgh OMP. Jennifer’s knowledge of the local market, alongside her connections across Forvis Mazars’ global footprint, means she is incredibly well placed to lead the team in our new chapter as part of a global network. I have no doubt that her enthusiastic and dynamic personality will bring a real energy to the role and under her guidance the team in Edinburgh will go from strength to strength”.
In November 2024, the company announced the appointment of its new UK CEO James Gilbey, effective 15 February 2025.
