Andersen Global Proud to Announce Advisory Council

Andersen Global announces the appointment of a global Advisory Council to provide a forum for problem solving and Partner participation as international expansion continues. The Council is comprised of more than 30 Partners and Managing Directors from member firms and collaborating firms around the world who will work alongside Global Chairman and Andersen Tax LLC CEO, Mark Vorsatz, to tackle challenges such as the scaling of the organization’s business while maintaining a strong culture rooted in the core values of stewardship, best-in-class, seamless, independence and transparency. The announcement of the Advisory Council comes shortly after the announcements of the Global Board, Regional Boards, and Senior Advisory Council, all of which provide a vehicle for creating an environment where Partners have involvement in the business.

“The input of all of our Partners matters. My goal is to engage many of them in a broader capacity and facilitate an understanding of how we operate, as well as the challenges of a global business. It is critical that we do as much as possible to engage our colleagues in serving as part of the solution and have them actively involved in developing solutions to our challenges,” said Mark Vorsatz. “Our ability to have a dialogue with the Partners and obtain support as we move forward is a significant factor to enable us to formulate and execute strategy. I have a close working relationship and high level of trust with these individuals.”
