Today, financial auditing includes more than just the legal review of financial statements of medium-sized and large corporations under commercial law. We aspire to offer our customers more than just a conventional audit report with certificate.
No matter whether the audit of annual financial statements, special audits, audit-related consulting services, advice with regard to company transactions or questions on international financial reporting are concerned: We help you to meet the ever increasing requirements for financial reporting, transparency and risk management.
It goes without saying that we also act in the "classic" capacities of a trustee or member of a supervisory / advisory board and we offer our know-how as financial auditors for questions concerning the reorganization of companies.
The services of all specialists working for you in the fields of tax consulting, legal counseling and management consulting are coordinated by one central contact person. You will receive comprehensive consulting and support services under one roof.

Extraordinary events in the “life” of a company – such as mergers, change of legal form, capital increase or liquidation – may require the preparation of special financial statements.

Financial statements for the examination of excessive indebtedness and for the financial rehabilitation of companies are subject to special requirements. The list below gives you a brief outline of the events, which make special audits necessary:
- Business start-up, company formation and capital increase We can always offer our services as financial auditors in teamwork with our lawyers and tax advisors to reach the maximum possible level of professionalism.
