What Becker+Partner does

Becker+Partner is a German Wirtschaftskanzlei (business law firm) headquartered in Altena with a second office in Dortmund, delivering an integrated mix of tax advisory (Steuerberatung), legal consulting (Rechtsberatung), business advisory (Betriebswirtschaftliche Beratung), and statutory audit (Wirtschaftsprüfung) services. The firm operates as a Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB with six partners — Jörg Peters, Marcus Grau, Dr. Bastian Kornau, Theo Bergenthal, Michael Neuhaus, and Dr. Beate Hahn — and approximately 50 staff, including 6 Wirtschaftsprüfer, 5 Rechtsanwälte, and 16 Steuerberater. Audit activity is conducted through the dedicated subsidiary Märkische Revision GmbH, allowing the partnership to maintain the regulatory separation required for statutory audits.

The firm targets German Mittelstand SMEs, entrepreneur families, foundations, start-ups, and selected public companies, with sector exposure spanning E-Commerce, automotive, manufacturing, and the public sector. Specialized advisory practices cover family holding structures, foundations, international tax, M&A, and insolvency (supported by the STP winsolvenz platform). Digital workflow infrastructure runs on DATEV Unternehmen online for document and compliance processes. The firm has been recognized as Best Auditors/Tax Advisors in 2025 and 2026 by independent ranking bodies.

The business model is conventional professional services: revenue is generated from hourly and project-based fees across compliance (annual tax returns, statutory audits) and advisory mandates. Multi-year client relationships, bundled service delivery, and the multi-disciplinary partner structure drive retention. There is no SaaS, subscription, or recurring-license revenue stream disclosed, and no AI-enabled productization of advisory work. The current partner cohort has been assembled over roughly two decades, with the most recent addition (Theo Bergenthal, 2023) bringing UK Chartered Accountant (ICAS) credentials that signal an emerging internationalization capability.
