What Lehleiter + Partner Treuhand does

Lehleiter + Partner Treuhand AG Steuerberatungsgesellschaft is a full-service German tax advisory and audit firm headquartered in Görlitz, Saxony, with branch offices in Bautzen and Dresden. Operating as an Aktiengesellschaft (AG) with 75+ employees, the firm delivers tax advisory (Steuerberatung), statutory and voluntary audit (Wirtschaftsprüfung), and business consulting (Unternehmensberatung) to small and medium-sized enterprises, freelancers, foundations, real estate investors, cross-border clients, and private individuals. Its core specializations — foundations and family estates, real estate taxation, and international tax law — differentiate it from generalist regional competitors, and are supported by staff holding Fachberater certifications for Unternehmensnachfolge (business succession) and Internationales Steuerrecht. The firm is led by a five-member Vorstand: Rolf Gottsmann, Prof. Dr. Robert Lehleiter, Florian Ludwar, Stephan Nedo, and Carola Thiel.

The firm's service delivery is anchored on a digital-first workflow built around the DATEV software ecosystem. Clients exchange documents and collaborate through DATEV Unternehmen-Online (end-to-end digital accounting, payroll, electronic archiving), the proprietary Lehleiter-Cloud portal for secure correspondence, and DATEV-Fernbetreuung for real-time remote screen support. The firm also offers GoBD-compliant Verfahrensdokumentation, online appointment booking via a Microsoft Outlook integration, and a recurring webinar and content series covering electronic invoicing (E-Rechnung), foundation law (Stiftungsrecht), real estate taxation, and tax planning publications such as the L+P Paper 'Mehr Netto vom Brutto' and the Mandantenjournal. The technology stack is process-augmentation for an advisory practice rather than a standalone software product.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees governed by the statutory Steuerberatervergütungsverordnung (StBVV), with multi-year client engagements and no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. The firm has no external investors or parent company and operates as a founder-led AG. Go-to-market combines digital content (YouTube, webinars, blog), social media (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing), email newsletters, PR earned through consistent award recognition, career fair presence, and direct advisory through three physical offices. The firm has been recognized among Germany's TOP Steuerberater by Focus Money for 20 consecutive years (since 2005) and by Handelsblatt since 2018, was named Bester Arbeitgeber 2025 by Handelsblatt/SWI Finance, and holds DATEV Digitale Kanzlei 2025 certification.

Product overview

Lehleiter + Partner Treuhand AG is a full-service tax advisory and accounting firm operating as a single integrated practice rather than a platform product. The firm's core offering is tax advisory, audit, and business consulting services, supplemented by a set of digital service features and client-facing tools. The primary digital infrastructure is built around DATEV Unternehmen-Online, with which the firm manages end-to-end digital bookkeeping, payroll, and document workflows for clients; clients access the system through the Lehleiter-Cloud for document exchange and via DATEV-Fernbetreuung for remote screen support. Booking of advisory appointments is handled through an Outlook-integrated online scheduling system. The firm also publishes a series of client webinars (L+P Webinare) and digital publications (L+P Papers, Mandantenjournal) covering tax topics.
