Last week, we learned from Focus Money — not in advance — that we have been recognised as a Top Steuerberater (German Certified Tax Advisor) for the first time. The preceding test was anything but easy, comprising among other things a number of demanding technical questions, and in our view the seal genuinely stands for at least a high level of professional expertise among those awarded. For this reason, we make a point of taking part in many specialist and quality tests run by the (trade) press. We are happy to put to the test whether the knowledge we hold — and which we believe to be of a high standard — is in fact at that level. As entrepreneurs, we are well aware that our know-how and our intellectual work are our most important factors of production. We like to know where we stand. For this year, things are looking good. At the very least, we are Top Steuerberater. Now feel free to challenge us even more!
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What does the Top-Steuerberater award by Focus Money mean?
The Top-Steuerberater award by Focus Money is based on a test that includes demanding technical questions, among other criteria. It therefore reflects a proven high level of expertise at the awarded firms and is granted in the form of a seal.
Why do tax advisory firms participate in professional and quality tests conducted by the press?
Such tests serve as a self-assessment of professional standards and enable an objective comparison with other firms. Since know-how and intellectual work are key production factors in tax consulting, it is important for firms to know where they stand in terms of quality.
What are the requirements of the Focus-Money test for top tax advisors?
The test is not trivial and contains a wide range of tricky technical questions on tax law. Only firms that pass this examination receive the seal as a top Steuerberater (German Certified Tax Advisor).
