Bertschat & Hundred Marks

What Bertschat & Hundred Marks does

Bertschat & Hundertmark is a German workforce transformation consulting firm founded in 2003 by Bernhard Bertschat and Thomas Hundertmark, headquartered in Bad Nauheim. The firm operates as a group of six wholly-owned subsidiaries (B&H Consult, B&H Future, B&H Placement, B&H Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, B&H Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft, and B&H Digital) covering the full lifecycle of personnel restructuring: strategic consulting, social security and pension advisory, placement and outplacement, tax advisory, labor and social law, and HR process digitization. It serves listed corporations, German mid-sized companies (Mittelstand), and public service enterprises undergoing workforce change.

The core offering combines strategic methodologies (the trademarked B&H FINCON™ framework for voluntary programs and the founders' Brückenmodelle for near-retirement employees) with execution services including the B&H 360° Perspektivberatung placement program, severance and bridge-model advisory, transfer company management, and leadership training on separation conversations. The technology layer is modest: a B&H Karriereportal career portal with daily job listings, automated alerts, and direct application submission, plus a digital client portal exposing HR KPIs and secure document workflows. B&H Digital develops customized IT tools for HR process digitization, but no AI/ML capabilities are evidenced.

The business model is project-based professional services with quote-based pricing tied to scope, affected employee count, and service modules. Revenue streams include consulting fees, placement/outplacement, social security and pension consulting, tax advisory, legal consulting, and managed IT services. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales through 30 consulting locations across Germany, supplemented by digital consultation, the B&H InSights event series, and presence at major HR conferences (e.g., PMK 2023 with 1,400+ attendees). The firm remains privately held and family-owned with no external investors disclosed.
