CLIENT ’ S COMMENT Mazars , the internationally represented organisation specialising in audit , accounting , tax and advisory services , has officially opened its new Gauteng premises located in Melrose Estate , Johannesburg – an ideal location in the epicentre of South Africa ’ s business powerhouse .
According to Anoop Ninan , Managing Partner of Mazars Gauteng , the move to the new Gauteng premises brings together 26 partners and more than 300 employees and was necessitated as a result of the exponential growth that Mazars has experienced in recent years .
“ The integrated office has created an atmosphere of increased camaraderie . We now work in a cleverly designed , open-plan environment that has encouraged more interaction between colleagues and is fostering a culture of collaboration . This further ensures a cross-functional and multidisciplinary approach to tailored client solutions .”
Our Gauteng hub offers a wide range of services , such as audit , accounting , tax management consulting , corporate finance , project finance , ICTA , forensics and BEE consulting , to name just a few , says Ninan . “ We will continue to have an office in Pretoria to service our client base in the city .
The new H-shaped office space was designed to keep the tone of similar surrounding structures while also establishing its own identity , standing out boldly with strong lines and shapes . It offers extensive views of the Killarney Golf Course and boasts a rooftop entertainment deck with an unchallenged view of the Johannesburg skyline .
The office includes facilities such as ample parking for staff and visitors , refreshment and catering stations , and shower stations for exercise enthusiasts . The modern design of the building is also energy efficient , reducing our carbon footprint and environmental impact .
The windows are made of highly-reflective glass to contribute to the control of emissivity of the building . With two wings separated by an atrium and connected by bridges , the building is designed to allow plenty of sunlight in , but reduce heat – while also showcasing views of the surrounding vegetation . The graphics draw their inspiration from the surrounding trees and this continues into the interior design and colours . This complements the corporate values and brand identity .
Mazars has a long history of professional excellence in South Africa and employs more than 1,000 staff nationally .
“ We are very proud of our new premises and I believe this move will energise the business to the next level . We remain agile enough to provide our clients with the personalised , professional service that they have come to expect and we look forward to welcoming them to our new home ,” concludes Ninan .
