Premium quality
Personalised advice

Our company

We help you to navigate your tax affairs and are always on hand to assist you personally. Whether you are a freelancer, the owner of a start-up business or an established company that has been in the same family for generations: personalised, transparent, expert advice stands at the heart of everything that we do. And we offer an extensive range of tax advisory services so that you can fine tune your tax planning. We support both German and non-German clients across Germany in all aspects of fiscal law – including those in challenging circumstances.

We specialise in complex corporate tax affairs: we provide clarity and find the best solution for you. During my career working in the tax departments of international auditing companies, I have amassed 20 years of experience supporting national and international clients in preparing their tax returns and with on-going tax questions, company audits and specialist projects. Furthermore, I have accompanied clients in the buying and selling of companies, have carried out tax due diligence and coordinated tax projects.

As a certified tax advisor, it is my ambition and duty to provide our clients – whether private individuals or companies – with these high standards of quality combined with lean, efficient structures; regardless of the size, industry and legal form of the company in question. We are also happy to communicate with you in English. Contact us now! We look forward to hearing from you.
