redefined.
Are you planning a generational transition in your company, or do you want to entrust your life’s work to capable hands, and are you looking for a tax firm that truly understands your challenges?
As a digitally focused boutique tax firm in Düsseldorf, we support entrepreneurs, family-owned businesses, and successors with specialized solutions and clear processes.

Current Topics on Business Succession
Specializing in tax and legal succession planning
As a boutique tax firm, we specialize in providing comprehensive support for business transfers, with a particular focus on:
- Inheritance and Gift Tax Act (ErbStG): Legally sound application of the exemption rules (Sections 13a, 13b ErbStG) to maximize tax relief.
- Tax Law on Business Transitions: Tax-neutral restructurings (e.g., holding company structures or spin-offs) in the run-up to the transfer.
- Asset Deals & Share Deals: Tax optimization and structuring of corporate sales to third parties or employees (MBO/MBI).
Personal Support Despite Digital Processes
Even though we rely on modern, digital workflows for analysis and evaluation, personalized support remains essential when it comes to the sensitive topic of succession planning:
- Prompt availability for complex tax and legal issues.
- Timely analysis of the company’s financial situation and the protection of personal assets.
- Reliable support during negotiations, business valuations, and tax audits in connection with the transfer.
A generational transition requires discretion, foresight, and professional excellence—we are the partner who will guide you safely along this path.

Even though I have managed to get the desired information from somewhere else, as it was quite urgent for me, I still apreciate very much being very professional of them and receiving a return call from the firm.
