Service · Tax & Compliance

A tax advisor who thinks ahead, not just files.

Most business owners see their tax advisor once a year – for the accounts, when everything is already done. We work differently: as a fixed contact who is reachable throughout the year, knows your numbers and lowers your tax while there is still something to move.

  • A fixed contact, not a call centre
  • Advice all year round
  • Sparring as an equal

Sound familiar?

Tax advice too often means: once a year, far too late.

This is what we keep hearing from business owners before they switch to us:

  • You only see your advisor for the year-end accounts.

    Once a year the numbers arrive – for what is already over. Nothing gets advised at that point; it merely gets filed.

  • A single question takes days to answer.

    Just before a decision – an investment, a hire, a distribution – no one is reachable. So you decide without any tax input.

  • You never know what the year-end will bring.

    Whether it's a back payment or a refund, you find out only with the assessment. For liquidity planning, that is far too late.

  • No one develops your structure further.

    A holding, your managing director's salary, retaining profits: questions that could save tax are never raised with you unprompted.

  • Your advisor reacts instead of shaping.

    They meet the obligation towards the tax office – and no more. Legal room to save tax is left on the table year after year.

  • You explain your business from scratch every time.

    Changing clerks know neither your numbers nor your goals. The continuity that real advice is built on simply isn't there.

What we take off your plate

Advice that runs all year long.

Concretely, we support you on an ongoing basis with:

  • A fixed contact & fast reachability

    You have one dedicated advisor who knows your business – reachable by phone, email and video, with a reliable, short response time instead of a queue.

  • Tax forecasting & planning

    We project your result during the year and show early what tax is coming your way – enough time to adjust prepayments (§37 EStG) and plan your liquidity.

  • In-year tax optimisation

    The investment deduction (Investitionsabzugsbetrag, §7g EStG), depreciation, reserves, the timing of purchases: we use the room to manoeuvre while the year is still open – not in hindsight.

  • Sparring on business decisions

    Before an investment, a hire, an acquisition or a distribution, we work through the tax consequences – before you decide, not after.

  • The link to tax structuring

    When a holding, an adjusted managing director's salary or profit retention starts to make sense, we spot it early and bring the right structure to the table.

  • Communication with the tax office

    Queries, prepayment notices, deadlines: we handle the correspondence with the tax office so your head stays free for your business.

What changes for you

From administrator to genuine sparring partner.

With ongoing advice, several things shift:

  • You decide with tax in view.

    Before every major decision you know the tax consequence. You act informed instead of hoping for the best.

  • No more nasty surprises.

    You know early what tax is coming and set it aside in time. Back payments no longer catch you off guard.

  • Less tax – because it's structured in time.

    Most levers only work before year-end. Because we steer during the year, we use them before the window closes.

  • A contact who knows you.

    No explaining from scratch, no waiting: you talk to someone who has your numbers and your goals in mind.

  • Your structure grows with you.

    From sole trader to GmbH, from GmbH to holding: we think the next step through before it becomes expensive for tax.

  • More time and less on your mind.

    The tax office, deadlines and queries run through us. You get back the headspace a business needs.

A personal note from Karsten Guhr

I don't see myself as the administrator of your past, but as a sparring partner for your decisions. Most tax isn't saved after the fact but during the year – which is why it matters to me that you can reach me before you decide, not just when the assessment arrives.
