JPST Steuerberatung

What JPST Steuerberatung does

JPST Steuerberatung is a German tax advisory and accounting firm (GmbH structure) operating five physical offices across Wettringen, Greven, Damme, Warendorf, and Bremen, serving clients in North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony, and Bremen. The firm was founded in 1980 at its Wettringen headquarters and has expanded through additional locations joined in 1994 (Greven), 2013 (Damme), 2020 (Warendorf), and 2023 (Bremen). Since 2019, JPST has been an operating entity within the Landwirtschaftlicher Buchführungsverband (LBV Group), a larger tax and business advisory conglomerate with over 2,100 employees across approximately 100 German locations.

JPST delivers professional tax advisory, financial accounting, annual financial statements, payroll, and business management consulting services across three core client segments: agricultural and forestry operations (its primary specialty as a recognized "anerkannte landwirtschaftliche Buchstelle"), commercial clients from trade, craft, gastronomy, manufacturing, and services, and private individuals including employees, retirees, and homeowners. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, relying on standard German tax software ecosystems including DATEV and NLB for e-invoicing compliance advisory.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees on a per-engagement and ongoing advisory basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed and clients are quoted directly. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, acquired through regional reputation, professional referrals, and physical office presence. The firm maintains content marketing via its website news section and organic social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to support client education and recruitment.

Core offering

JPST Steuerberatung is a German tax advisory firm providing tax consulting, financial accounting, annual financial statements, payroll services, and business management consulting to agricultural and forestry operations, commercial businesses, freelancers, and private individuals across five regional offices. As a recognized agricultural accounting office (anerkannte landwirtschaftliche Buchstelle), the firm holds specialized expertise in the tax and regulatory requirements unique to agricultural clients.

Product overview

JPST Steuerberatung operates as a unified tax advisory service rather than a modular software platform. The company provides specialized tax consulting across three core service areas: agricultural tax advisory (Land- und Forstwirte & Gärtner), commercial and freelance tax services (Gewerbetreibende & Freiberufler), and private client tax services (Arbeitnehmer, Pensionäre & Hausbesitzer). As part of the SHBB/LBV Group with approximately 100 locations across Germany, they offer electronic invoicing (E-Rechnung) solutions through software partners NLB E-Rechnung and DATEV E-Rechnung to help clients comply with Germany's mandatory e-invoicing regulations.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ETL Gruppe: ETL is Germany's largest tax advisory and accounting group with a franchise network of hundreds of regional Steuerberatungsgesellschaften. JPST competes with regional ETL offices for the same agricultural and SME clients in NRW, Lower Saxony, and Bremen. ETL is much larger but follows the same regional-office, sector-specialist playbook.
• Ebner Stolz: Ebner Stolz is a mid-sized German tax, audit, and advisory firm with multiple offices serving Mittelstand clients, including agricultural and family-owned businesses. Broader service portfolio than JPST but similar client base and regional German delivery model.
• WTS Group: WTS is a German tax advisory firm specializing in cross-border and corporate tax. More corporate-focused than JPST but operates in the same German tax advisory market and competes for adjacent client relationships in the agricultural and SME space.

Others

• DATEV eG: DATEV is Germany's dominant tax/accounting software cooperative and an indirect peer through its role as both technology supplier and ecosystem shaper. JPST recommends DATEV E-Rechnung and relies on DATEV infrastructure; DATEV's strategic moves (AI modules, digital advisory platforms) directly shape JPST's competitive environment.

Direct peers

• BANSBACH GmbH: BANSBACH is a mid-sized German tax, legal, and audit advisory firm serving SMEs, including agricultural and family-business clients, across multiple regional offices. Comparable in scale, multi-office structure, and German Mittelstand client focus to JPST.
• dhpg GmbH: dhpg is a German tax, audit, and consulting firm with multiple offices serving mid-market German businesses. Comparable size, multi-location model, and SME/mid-market client base.
• CURACON GmbH: CURACON is a German tax and audit advisory group focused on mid-sized German enterprises across multiple offices. Comparable regional multi-office structure and SME client profile.
• HLB Deutschland (Stückmann network): HLB Deutschland is a network of independent German tax and audit firms serving mid-market clients. Comparable regional multi-office advisory model and German Mittelstand client focus.
• Lohnsteuerhilfeverein Aktive Bürger (and similar Lohnsteuerhilfevereine): German Lohnsteuerhilfevereine are tax-help associations serving employees, retirees, and private individuals at low cost through membership. They directly compete with JPST's third service line (Arbeitnehmer, Pensionäre, Hausbesitzer) on price, particularly in the same NRW and Lower Saxony regions.

Regional players

• Genossenschaftsverband Weser-Ems (GVWE): GVWE is a regional cooperative/auditing association serving agricultural and small-business clients in the Weser-Ems region of Lower Saxony, directly overlapping JPST's Damme and Bremen catchment. Comparable agricultural client base and regional advisory scope.
