Led by managing director Oliver Biernat, a tax adviser and auditor, the team of about ten staff is hired for its ability to communicate in German and English.

For new companies and branches the firm handles tax registration, trade registration and employer registration under power of attorney, presenting itself as a one-stop provider for accounting and tax.
