My vision is based on the use of Mazars’ highly innovative and creative approach in combination with my know-how and experience, while making full use of the professional and human potential of the tax specialists in my team,” clarified Petr Frisch, the new Partner of the Tax Department of Mazars in the Czech Republic.
