Accounting firm eyeing global growth

Chinese accounting firm Zhongshen Zhonghuan is looking to explore the international markets in a big way after joining hands with its European counterpart Mazars Group recently, according to a senior member of the firm.

Mazars' established global presence, including 290 offices and 18,000 employees in 79 countries and regions, and its proficiency in international financial laws and tax policies will help Zhongshen Zhonghuan provide better services to Chinese companies planning outbound investment, said Zhang Liwen, a member of the firm's management board.

"Tax policies between each country differ a lot, and tax services are one of the most sought-after services when companies look for global expansion," said Zhang.
