Kurzfassung

Steffen & Partner has been a FOCUS MONEY top tax advisor 17 times in a row (since 2010, most recently 2026), first recognised back in 2009; a four-time Excellent Employer (2022, 2024, 2025, 2026) and certified under DIN EN ISO 9001.

We are Steuerberater (German Certified Tax Advisors), Wirtschaftsprüfer (German Statutory Auditors) and Rechtsanwälte (German Attorneys-at-Law) based in Bocholt and Düsseldorf. Awards are not an end in themselves — we view them as external confirmation that our strategic direction is sound. The decisive benchmark, however, is set by our clients.

FOCUS MONEY — Top Tax Advisor

The Steffen & Partner group has been listed by FOCUS MONEY as a top tax advisor in the segment of large firms for the 17th consecutive time — most recently in 2026 (issue 24/2026), and for the first time back in 2009. This category also assesses KPMG (Berlin) and BDO (Hamburg), among others — two of the largest audit and tax advisory firms in Germany.
