Graber & Partner

What Graber & Partner does

Graber & Partner is a chartered accountancy, statutory auditing, tax consultancy, and labour law advisory firm headquartered in Bruneck (Brunico), South Tyrol, Italy. Founded in 1990 by Hermann Andrä Graber, the firm employs over 40 professionals organized into dedicated departments for financial statements and accounting, labour law consulting and payroll, business planning and controlling, administration, and contracts. It serves two primary client segments: South Tyrolean companies operating across trade, services, construction, hospitality, industry, and professional services, and international companies — principally from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland — seeking to establish or operate in Italy through subsidiaries, branch offices, employer registrations, employee postings/secondments, and direct VAT registration.

The firm's service portfolio covers the full lifecycle of Italian market entry and ongoing compliance: company incorporation (Srl/GmbH), annual financial statement preparation, corporate income tax (IRES), regional business tax (IRAP), and VAT compliance, employment contract drafting, monthly payroll processing with social security contributions, and strategic business consulting. Its core technology stack is light and aimed at client enablement rather than internal automation — the firm's website features a multilingual AI-Concierge chatbot for FAQs, a public Gross-Net Calculator for Italy, and an Online Employee Registration Portal, alongside extensive SEO-driven FAQ pages and a lexicon of Italian-German economic terms.

Graber & Partner operates a professional services fee model with quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing, delivered through direct enterprise field sales targeting both local South Tyrolean businesses and inbound DACH-region international clients. Free initial consultations are offered for company formation and employer registration. The firm is affiliated with the ETL Global international professional services network, providing referral reach beyond its home market. Headcount expansion to 40+ and a three-decade operating history indicate an established, mature practice rather than a high-growth venture.
