Consaris

What Consaris does

Consaris AG is a privately held German professional services firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in Eggenfelden, Bavaria. Operating as Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft and Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, the consaris Gruppe delivers tax advisory, statutory and voluntary audit, business consulting, management accounting, succession planning, legal advisory (via partner law firms), and transaction advisory services. The group comprises consaris AG (tax/audit), consaris corporate finance GmbH (M&A, valuation, CFO advisory), and consaris GmbH, operating across five Bavarian offices in Eggenfelden, Burghausen, Freising, Landshut, and Passau, with approximately 110 employees including 20 licensed Steuerberater and Wirtschaftsprüfer.

The firm serves primarily owner-managed Mittelstand (family-owned SMEs) with up to €200M in turnover, with named sub-segments including breweries and malteries, physicians/medical practices, agriculture, and international corporate groups. Distribution is entirely relationship-based through direct partner-led advisory at physical offices, supplemented by inbound channels such as the corporate website, LinkedIn/Instagram/Facebook presence, YouTube educational videos, the in-house consaris Akademie seminar program, and referral partnerships with law firms Kast & Aigner and Kämpfe-Kraus. The underlying technology stack is standard for German professional services, built around DATEV (the dominant tax/accounting software cooperative) plus Microsoft Teams, Google Analytics, and IONOS hosting.

The revenue model is professional services fees governed by the German Steuerberatervergütungsverordnung (StBVV) for tax services and negotiated fees for consulting, audit, and transaction engagements. The firm has been repeatedly ranked among 'Deutschlands beste Wirtschaftsprüfer' by manager magazin (2020/21, 2022/23, 2024/25, 2026/27) and received DATEV's 'Digitale Kanzlei' label in 2024, indicating sustained third-party recognition within its regional Mittelstand niche. No public revenue figures, external investors, or institutional ownership are disclosed; ownership appears concentrated among managing partners and the founder group.
