Treuhand

What Treuhand does

Treuhand Weser-Ems is a German professional services firm headquartered in Oldenburg with additional offices in Bremen and Wildeshausen, providing an integrated, multi-disciplinary offering of statutory and voluntary audits (Wirtschaftsprüfung), tax advisory (Steuerberatung), legal advisory (Rechtsberatung), and business consulting (Unternehmensberatung). The firm operates through three legal entities — an audit GmbH, a legal partnership (Treuhand Rechtsberatung Hochhäusler · Wurthmann & Partner mbB), and a consulting GmbH & Co. KG — and is staffed by 9 managing directors, 20 partners/directors in total, and 270 employees, serving approximately 4,200 mandates across eleven industry verticals including automotive, construction, energy, food and agriculture, healthcare, logistics, maritime, mechanical engineering, non-profits, public sector, and private equity.

The core service portfolio has been extended beyond the traditional audit/tax/legal triad into IT-Beratung (information security and digital transformation), HR services (payroll and personnel administration), Nachhaltigkeit (sustainability and ESG advisory, including EcoVadis rating support), Spezialdienstleistungen, and Gründungsberatung (startup consulting). The technology stack is intentionally lean and disclosed only at a generic level: Microsoft Teams for online meetings and Matomo for web analytics, with no proprietary platform, API, or AI tooling disclosed. Pricing is engagement-based and not publicly disclosed.

Revenue is generated on a professional services fee model, with services delivered directly through the firm's partners and staff at its three German offices and extended internationally via the firm's active membership in HLB International, a global network giving access to 58,500 professionals worldwide. The firm is privately held under partner ownership with no external private equity or venture capital investors indicated, and is led by Sprecher der Geschäftsführung Bernard Witte. Go-to-market is enterprise-direct and regional, complemented by a content-marketing funnel through the Wissenswertes blog, monthly newsletter, LinkedIn/Instagram/YouTube/Facebook/Xing presence, and a program of seminars and community events.
