In addition, there are services relating to sustainability reporting, early crisis detection and energy sector auditing. Alongside the reliability of financial information, the firm keeps an eye on the risks and information needs of management and supervisory boards.

Tax advisory ranges from declaration tasks, financial and payroll accounting to complex structuring issues.
