Tax Advisory

From income tax to value-added tax: our goal is your tax optimization. As a full-service tax advisory firm, we offer you comprehensive expertise in all aspects of tax law, including voluntary disclosure.

The Tax Advisor as the Core of Your Consultation

Together with our team, the tax advisor is the central figure in your advisory services. They not only provide the necessary security for your company and its shareholders and managers but also serve as an indispensable coordinator between economic and legal analysis. At RUGE FEHSENFELD, you will find optimal advice for your company as well as comprehensive support. We put YOU at the center of our actions.

A tax advisor is essential, and their scope of work is diverse. Whether you have financing problems, are planning for retirement, want to dynamically expand your start-up, or need tax advice on inheritance law, the right tax advisor can make all the difference. Several criteria play a role in choosing the right tax advisor for your business. The primary consideration is their competence. Another important factor is whether the tax advisor has sufficient staff to dedicate themselves fully to your consultation, even in cases of illness or vacation, and whether they have a robust network of lawyers, notaries, banks, business consultants, and auditors both domestically and internationally. Additionally, having legal expertise themselves allows them to provide the quickest possible assistance.

At RUGE FEHSENFELD, we ensure that your company receives the best possible advice and holistic support. Our tax advisors are equipped to handle a wide range of issues and provide personalized solutions tailored to your specific needs.

A Tax Advisor Complements Your Business

The selection of tax advisors in Hamburg and Norderstedt is vast. Among the many firms, associations, and partnerships, there are equally diverse tax advisors with fascinating career paths.

A tax advisor and/or a specialist attorney for tax law allows your consultation to go beyond the ordinary. This gives you the opportunity to receive comprehensive tax advice from a single source.

However, a double qualification is not always necessary. Simple tax advisors without special additional qualifications can be equally effective. They rely on diligent and focused work, which they have perfected over years of practice. This type of advisor is characterized by long-standing professional experience. At this point, the existing network and the experienced employees play a crucial role.

Or would you prefer a tax advisor who also understands the “other side” and knows how the tax office operates? Especially in problematic or deadlocked situations, it can be beneficial to have a former tax official who understands the inner workings of the tax office, bringing pragmatic solutions to the table.

At RUGE FEHSENFELD, we offer a range of tax advisors who bring diverse experiences and expertise to meet your specific needs. Whether you need comprehensive, high-level advice or practical, experience-based solutions, we have the right professional for you.

Oder möchten Sie lieber einen Steuerberater der auch die „andere Seite“ kennt, versteht und weiß wie das Finanzamt „tickt“? Gerade bei problembehafteten oder in festgefahrenen Situationen hilft es, einen ehemaligen Finanzwirt mit Stallgeruch ins Rennen zu schicken, um pragmatische Lösungen zu erarbeiten.

How to Find the Right Tax Advisor

A tax advisor with the appropriate technical understanding can elevate your business to a new level of accounting. Have you ever considered how convenient it would be to simply take a photo of your receipts with your smartphone, provide them to your tax advisor digitally, and then dispose of the receipts on the spot?

Financial Accounting 4.0

Future-oriented financial accounting creates personal freedom to strengthen your business, improve your work-life balance, and ultimately increase the value of your company. If a complete transition to digital processes for your financial accounting is too much, we can work with you to find an intermediate solution using tools like Unternehmen Online, Dropbox, or other solutions. These smaller solutions are ideal for start-ups, freelancers, or entrepreneurs who are frequently away due to their profession.

At RUGE FEHSENFELD, we help you find the right tax advisor to meet your specific needs, whether you’re looking for advanced digital solutions or a more traditional approach tailored to your unique business circumstances.

Tips for Choosing the Right Tax Advisor

1. How Important Are Quick Communication and Prompt Handling of Your Matters?

Timely responses and adherence to deadlines are crucial trust-building measures for us. Therefore, we are committed to providing you with assistance as quickly as possible. Thanks to our numerous professionals and qualified staff, we can offer you initial telephone assistance or specific measures within 24 hours.

2. Wie groß ist Ihr Unternehmen und Ihr Arbeits- und Beratungsbedarf?

Ensure that your tax advisor has a sufficient staffing structure to reliably and promptly handle your financial and payroll accounting needs.

3. Do You Need a Tax Advisor with Additional Functions?

If so, you should choose a tax advisor who combines multiple professions, such as a lawyer or an auditor, or who has additional professional qualifications such as a specialist advisor or specialist attorney for tax law.

4. Does It Always Have to Be a Tax Advisor?

When it comes to taxes, the answer is YES. Collaborating with bookkeeping assistants, in-house accountants, and payroll services can be practical and economical. However, issues arise when services are offered or provided that exceed their competence and fail to meet high standards. Would you let your dentist perform an appendix surgery?

5. Can a Bookkeeping Service or In-House Solution Be a Good Alternative?

Absolutely – we are happy to work with you to develop a concept on how your existing solution can be integrated into our DATEV system, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and your internal quality assurance standards.

6. Tax Advisor as Certified Financial Economist, Legal or Business Studies, or Through Years of Professional Experience?

Regardless of the background you prefer for your tax advisor, a high-quality, long-standing, and roughly 50% average pass rate for the tax advisor exam ensures an unparalleled level of tax advisory services worldwide.
