Forvis Mazars (Kansas City, MO)

The Kansas City page states

"Our Kansas City office provides audit, tax, and consulting services to clients across multiple industries, including financial services, nonprofit, construction, real estate, and manufacturing and distribution." Those are the services and the industry areas the site attributes to this office specifically.

The same page describes the office under the heading "National Resources, Kansas City Support" and says: "Forvis Mazars is a national CPA and advisory firm that can help you reach your goals. Our experienced advisors offer solutions for clients in all 50 states and internationally. Tap into national insight and resources with experienced Kansas City advisors who can give you the attention you deserve."

The Forvis Mazars website publishes no prices for the Kansas City office or for the firm. There is no price list, no pricing page, no hourly rates, no fixed fees, no minimum engagement cost and no published estimate ranges anywhere on the office, contact, about or main service pages. Anyone asking what an audit, a tax return or a consulting project would cost has to ask the firm directly; the cost of an engagement is not something the site states, and no rate or quote should be assumed on its behalf.

The published routes for getting a quote or starting a conversation are: phoning the Kansas City office at 816.221.6300; using the "Let's Connect" / "Contact Us" form, which the contact page introduces with "Are you interested in more information about our services or looking to get in touch with a Forvis Mazars Advisor? Please use the form below."; and "Submit a Request for Proposal" via the site's "Submit an RFP" page. The Kansas City page also carries a "Let's Get Started - Connect to experienced guidance" prompt with an "Email Rachel" link to Managing Partner Rachel Dwiggins.

The Kansas City, MO office of Forvis Mazars is located at 1201 Walnut Street, Suite 1700, Kansas City, MO 64106-2246. That address, this office location, is published on the firm's Kansas City location page. The office contact phone number listed for this address is 816.221.6300 and the office fax listed is 816.221.6380. Rachel Dwiggins is named on the page as Managing Partner, with an "Email Rachel" link; no direct email address is spelled out in the page text, and no other staff are named on that page.

The Kansas City location page does not publish office hours. It does not say when the office is open, does not give days of the week, and does not publish a walk-in or appointment policy, so hours and open times cannot be quoted from the site. Anyone who needs the hours should call the Kansas City office at 816.221.6300 and ask.

The firm's Assurance page describes services offered by Forvis Mazars overall, not by the Kansas City office alone. Its summary line is "Provide transparency to your stakeholders. Gain clarity on your business." The page lists these assurance offerings: Attest Services; Audit; Reviews, Compilations and Preparation Assistance; ESG Assurance; and Employee Benefit Plan Services.

On Audit, the page says: "Gain confidence in your financial statements. Our audit approach focuses on higher-risk areas-your unique operations, controls you've implemented, and financial statement amounts and disclosures." On the lighter alternatives it says: "Sometimes a full audit is more than you need. Our team can provide limited assurance (review) or help prepare a financial statement without providing assurance or an opinion (compilation or preparation)." Attest Services are described as helping identify reporting needs in specific areas and exploring "cost-effective, agreed-upon procedures."

Tax and consulting are two of the firm's published service areas, described firm-wide rather than as Kansas City office listings. The Tax Services page says the firm's professionals "actively listen and curiously seek to understand your unique tax situation, applying insights to craft forward-looking, tailored tax strategies across multiple disciplines" and provide "tax compliance and consulting services."

Named tax offerings on that page include Federal Tax Specialty Services, Forvis Mazars Private Client, Mergers and Acquisitions, Outsourced Accounting Services, International Tax Services, State and Local Tax, Tax Transformation, Tax Controversy and Procedure, Digital Assets, Tax-Exempt, the Washington National Tax Office, Tariffs on Imports and Global Trade, and Global Compliance and Reporting.
