We combine tax advice with corporate inhouse tax expertise
About us ________
We have many years of practical experience in providing tax advice to companies at renowned consulting firms as well as expertise from working in in-house tax departments of international companies.
Our experience essentially extends to corporate tax law, real estate tax law and international tax law.
Our consulting approach____________________
We, too, are "only" a tax consulting firm with a specialist focus and a specific range of services. But our consulting approach goes beyond pure consulting. Because we also bring the experience of the in-house tax departments of internationally active companies.
We know that in a company - regardless of the industry - the solutions to tax law issues that you receive in tax reports are often only the beginning and a partial aspect of the big picture. After the tax law check, this must then also be implemented in the company.
It is therefore important to know internal company processes and to involve and coordinate a wide variety of departments and specialist areas. It is not uncommon for these aspects to be much more demanding than the underlying tax law issues.
This big picture can only be understood if both the so-called consultant's perspective and the company's perspective are combined. Since we not only have the necessary technical expertise, but also know and understand internal company processes, we can support you in professionally assessing tax law challenges of all kinds and implementing them in your company practice.
