Tax Advisory for Businesses and Self-Employed Professionals
Tax questions arise throughout the life of a business, not just when a tax return is due. Many business decisions have tax implications, so it is important to consider them before decisions are made.

Our services are personal, digital and available throughout Germany.

Tax Planning and Forward-Looking Advice
Good tax advice goes beyond meeting statutory filing requirements. Wherever possible, tax consequences should be considered before commercial or contractual decisions are made..
We help you compare different options, understand their tax implications and identify appropriate solutions within the legal framework.
This may be relevant when making investments, restructuring a business, starting or ending a business activity, bringing in new shareholders or partners, or planning business succession and the transfer of wealth.
We also consider the wider financial impact of a decision, including liquidity and
long-term financial implications where relevant.
Tax Advice with Industry Expertise
Effective tax advice requires an understanding of how a client’s business or profession actually works..
We have particular experience advising self-employed professionals and clients in the healthcare sector, including doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals. We also advise small and medium-sized businesses, businesses in the skilled trades and selected companies from a range of industries.
This industry knowledge allows us to take sector-specific issues into account both in ongoing tax matters and when advising on individual business decisions.
Dealing with the German Tax Authorities
We handle communication with the German tax authorities and represent your interests throughout tax proceedings.
This includes responding to enquiries from the tax office, reviewing tax assessments and, where necessary, filing objections and handling tax appeals.
We also support clients during tax audits, from preparing for the audit to responding to questions and discussing tax issues with the authorities.
Digital Collaboration – Personal Advice Throughout Germany
Our workflows are fully digital, allowing us to work efficiently with clients regardless of where they are based. Documents and information can be exchanged securely online, while meetings take place by phone or video conference.
This enables us to work with businesses and self-employed professionals throughout Germany.
Digital processes make collaboration more efficient, but they do not replace personal advice. Professional judgement, direct communication and individual support remain at the heart of our work.
Tax Advisory with a Broader Perspective
Tax decisions are often closely linked to the financial performance of a business and the personal objectives of its owners.
Our approach therefore goes beyond answering isolated tax questions. We look at the wider context, explain the implications clearly and provide a sound basis for informed decisions.
