Kleeberg

What Kleeberg does

Kleeberg (Dr. Kleeberg & Partner GmbH) is a Munich-based multi-discipline professional services firm founded in 1966, serving primarily German family businesses and mid-market SMEs. The firm delivers integrated tax (Steuerberatung), audit (Wirtschaftsprüfung), legal (Rechtsberatung), advisory, valuation, sustainability/CSRD, and Financial Accounting Advisory Services (FAAS), supported by a team of 90+ professionals, many holding dual or triple qualifications as Wirtschaftsprüfer, Steuerberater, and Rechtsanwalt. Its ten-vertical coverage spans financial services, real estate, healthcare, public sector, and other industries typical of the German Mittelstand.

The firm operates within the Crowe Global network, providing international delivery capability for cross-border mandates without organic foreign office buildout. Kleeberg has invested in technology modernization, deploying Microsoft 365-based CRM and collaboration infrastructure and integrating Azure OpenAI into audit and advisory workflows. It also offers IT-Audit and digital transformation advisory as dedicated service lines. The business model is traditional professional services: hourly and project-based fees for compliance and advisory work, recurring audit and tax retainers, and engagement-based pricing for FAAS and sustainability mandates. Long-term client relationships are explicitly emphasized as a core operating principle.

The firm is privately held as a GmbH, with no public revenue disclosure. Its growth posture is signaled through partner-level hiring (notably 2023 additions), expansion of service lines aligned with regulatory tailwinds (CSRD, FAAS), and technology-led productivity initiatives rather than acquisitive expansion or geographic buildout.
