Domus

What Domus does

Domus AG (legal name DOMUS Steuerberatungs-AG – Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft) is a Berlin-headquartered, privately held German Aktiengesellschaft founded in 1985 that delivers integrated tax consulting, statutory and voluntary auditing, legal advisory, and business consulting services. The firm operates 19 offices across 12 German cities and positions itself as a competence center for the housing and real estate industry (Wohnungswirtschaft), while also serving municipal companies, energy and utility providers, foundations and non-profits, and a horizontal mix of service, trading and manufacturing clients ranging from micro-enterprises to publicly listed companies. Licensed Wirtschaftsprüfer and Steuerberater professionals underpin the regulated audit and tax practices, and the firm publishes an EU Regulation 537/2014 Transparency Report covering public interest entity audits.

The four service pillars — Tax Consultancy, Auditing, Business Consulting, and Legal Advisory — are delivered through the parent AG and two affiliated operating subsidiaries: DOMUS Consult Wirtschaftsberatungsgesellschaft mbH (data protection and corporate consulting) and DOMUS Recht Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH (housing-industry legal advisory covering tenancy, cooperative, and contract law). The firm's proprietary "Digital Audit Approach" emphasizes streamlined audit methodology with internal quality assurance and reduced client resource requirements, while newer offerings around sustainability reporting, CO2 balance preparation, ESG compliance, CSRD-related management reporting, digital solutions, and public-sector advisory (rent indexes, KdU, AMiGO database) extend the practice beyond statutory compliance. The firm is a member of Russell Bedford International, a voluntary network of independent firms spanning 100 countries, enabling cross-border tax and audit mandates.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees on a quote-based, engagement-by-engagement basis, with no standardized public pricing. Go-to-market is B2B direct field sales via the 19-office regional network, targeting enterprises (notably municipal and cooperative housing companies), supplemented by content marketing (news, publications), LinkedIn, YouTube employer branding, and the Russell Bedford referral channel for international mandates. The firm is owned and governed internally via a Management Board (Vorstand) and Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat), with no parent company.
