The firm
More than numbers. A financial sparring partner for entrepreneurs & freelancers.
We're not a classic tax firm. We're a team of tax professionals who pick entrepreneurs up where it actually hurts – on clarity over their numbers, on the tax burden, and on the question of what the next right step is.

Our story
Founded out of conviction.
Still owner-led today.
GUHR started in 2020 from a simple observation: most entrepreneurs felt managed by their tax firm, not advised. Karsten Guhr wanted to build the firm he would have wanted to be a client of himself – personally available, forward-thinking and digital from day one.
What began as a one-person office in Berlin-Friedrichshain has grown into an owner-led tax advisory company with more than 30 colleagues working remotely across Germany. What hasn't changed: every client has a named point of contact who knows their numbers and returns their calls.
Today we support freelancers, GmbH managing directors and complex holding structures. What they have in common: they want to know where they stand, what is possible, and which lever matters next – without having to fight through jargon.
We're building the firm I would want to be a client of myself – proactive, digital and on eye level.

Our values
Six principles
you can measure us against.
Values are not marketing copy. These six points explain how we decide internally – and how you can tell whether we actually live by them.
- 01
Clarity over complexity
We translate tax law into decisions. If you're not smarter after a conversation with us, we didn't do our job.
- 02
Proactive, not reactive
We don't wait for deadlines. We come to you before the deadline is there – with the lever that matters for you.
- 03
Digital because it gives you time back
DATEV, app, banking interfaces, live reports: not because it's fashionable, but because otherwise you'd lose hours on receipts.
- 04
A binding answer
Inquiries are answered personally within 24 hours – not by a ticketing system, not by a bot.
- 05
Think economically
We don't decide what is „possible“ from a tax perspective, but what moves your business forward. We don't do tax optimisation without entrepreneurial purpose.
- 06
Long-term, not quick
We build long-term relationships, not an acquisition pipeline. Most clients stay and grow with us.
How we work
Six promises we keep.
Whether freelancer, GmbH or holding – every engagement follows the same standard. Six things we put in writing before the mandate starts.
- 01
One named point of contact
You speak with one person who knows your numbers, your industry and your history – not with the next available case worker.
- 02
Reply within 24 h
Working days, within one day – personal and substantive. No two-week waiting time like at traditional firms.
- 03
Reliable on every deadline
Filing dates, advance returns, assessment notices – we meet every deadline and reach out proactively before the tax office does. Late-filing surcharges don't happen on our watch.
- 04
Advice, not just filings
We don't just fill in forms. We actively show you which structures, incentives and arrangements fit your situation – before you have to ask.
- 05
Quarterly strategy
Four times a year we don't talk about receipts but about your numbers, your tax burden and the next lever.
- 06
Transparent fees
Monthly fixed fees instead of surprise invoices. If it's not in the quote, it's not on the bill.
Why work with us
What you gain as a client.
We don't sell services. We sell outcomes. This is what concretely changes for our clients.
Clear numbers, every month
Live P&L, cash-flow view, tax burden calculated in advance. You always know where you stand – not only when the annual accounts arrive.
Measurably lower taxes
We continually review legal form, MD salary, investment allowance, holding structure and grants – not just in April. Clients save multiples of the fee on average.
No surprises from the tax office
Advance payments are planned and communicated months ahead. Liquidity gaps from back payments don't happen with us.
Time you get back
Receipts via app, banking automated, payroll standardised. On average 4–6 hours per week that flow back into your business.
A strategic sparring partner
Holding build-up, investment, equity, exit, succession – we think with you before the tax office asks.
Structures that grow with you
Processes that hold from solo engagement to a €50m holding – without having to switch advisors every two years.
The team
People who
take ownership.
Our firm lives through people, not job titles. More than 30 colleagues – tax advisors, tax clerks, accountants, IT and digitalisation specialists – work hand in hand on what matters for you.
- 30+ colleagues, working remotely across Germany
- A named point of contact per engagement
- Tax advisors, accountants and digital specialists hand in hand
- Fully digital, location-independent collaboration
