BPP Becker Patzelt Pollmann und Partner

What BPP Becker Patzelt Pollmann und Partner does

BPP Becker Patzelt Pollmann und Partner mbB is a German multidisciplinary professional services firm founded in 1998 and headquartered in Bielefeld, with a second office in Dorsten, North Rhine-Westphalia. The firm operates through a Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB structure owned by 18 partners and employs more than 100 staff. It delivers an integrated portfolio across four service lines: Wirtschaftsprüfung (statutory and voluntary audits, including a dedicated subsidiary BPP Part mbB Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft registered as PR 5583), Steuerberatung (tax planning, returns, succession, and inheritance/gift tax), Rechtsberatung (corporate, tax, labor law, and mediation), and Serviceleistungen (bookkeeping, payroll, and business consulting). A specialized "Berater für Berater" module provides expert opinions and litigation support to other tax advisors, auditors, and lawyers.

The technology stack is built around DATEV ecosystems (Unternehmen Online, Arbeitnehmer Online, Fernbetreuung) for accounting, payroll, and remote support, supplemented by iDeals virtual data rooms for M&A transactions and WebAkte for secure document exchange during audits. The firm has held the "Digitale DATEV-Kanzlei" designation for six consecutive years, signaling workflow digitization rather than proprietary technology development. Client-facing delivery occurs through partner-led engagements in the two physical offices, with digital portals enabling 24/7 document exchange and OCR-based data pre-population.

The revenue model is professional services fee-for-engagement, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Target segments include Mittelstand and family-owned businesses (primary), freelancers and private individuals, foundations and associations, and M&A buyers/sellers. International activities are supported through the WIRAS Verbund partnership. Distribution is direct and regional, supplemented by content marketing (website, blog, social media on Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn, Brevo email newsletter) and community sponsorships. The firm has executed two small tuck-in acquisitions (Fretax GmbH in October 2023 and Krause Steuerbüro in 2026) and consolidated its Bielefeld presence into a single headquarters at Marktstraße 7 in March 2026.
