Headquarters expects answers. Your advisor sends questions.
Often, the current advisor lacks experience with international groups.
Group deadlines meet German filing dates
Monthly reporting, year-end closing and German tax deadlines rarely run on the same schedule.
Transfer pricing moves into focus
What makes sense within the group must be documented in a way the German tax office can follow.
Your advisor does not speak headquarters' language
Every question from the parent company turns into a translation exercise, in language and in substance.
A tax audit is announced
Without prepared documents and a clear line of argument, it ties up management time for months.
We have advised some group subsidiaries for more than 15 years.
Our roots are in international corporate tax at a Big Four firm. Today we advise German subsidiaries of international groups, mostly with parent companies in the United States, including companies with total assets in the hundreds of millions.
We work in English, French and German and know what group tax and controlling at headquarters need. We deliver it on time, accurately and in your language. Consequences abroad are coordinated with advisors on the ground.
From market entry to restructuring. In your language.
A partner-level point of contact who understands your headquarters: in English for groups from the US and the UK, in French for groups from France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada. We coordinate any consequences abroad with your local advisors.

Market entry in Germany. Operational from day one.
A foreign parent company wanted to establish itself in Germany and was looking for a partner to handle the entire market entry from a tax perspective.
We set up the German GmbH, established bookkeeping and payroll from day one and reviewed the agreements between subsidiary and parent, so the relationship with headquarters was properly structured from the start. Headquarters had one point of contact for everything in Germany.
Once the subsidiary was large enough for its own accounting team, we supported that transition as well. Today it runs its own accounting, on foundations we laid.

Every piece of advice and every filing is the responsibility of a tax advisor.
