ACE in Germany

About ACE

With 22 offices in 20 countries across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas, ACE supports companies that want to enter and operate in foreign markets, and its Munich office serves as the German base of the network. The group frames its work as a four-step expansion path running from market research and early sales support to local hiring and a final soft-landing phase in which the new operation is set up and kept compliant. In that last phase ACE handles registration of the local entity and then provides the back office that a foreign subsidiary needs: accounting, tax filings, payroll, corporate administration and regulatory compliance. Employer-of-record arrangements allow clients to hire staff before an entity exists, and fractional CFO support and SPV management are offered as additional services. Each element can be purchased on its own or as part of a complete package tailored to the client's expansion plan.
