Consultatio

What Consultatio does

Consultatio is an Austrian professional services firm headquartered in Vienna, founded in 1970, delivering tax advisory, audit (Wirtschaftspruefung), business consulting, ESG and sustainability advisory, bookkeeping, payroll, and IT security services. The firm operates 5 branches across Europe with approximately 150 employees and serves clients ranging from freelancers and SMEs through to large enterprises and public sector entities, with documented relationships spanning 15 to 30 years in industries including construction and real estate, manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, retail, and non-profits. The business is structured as a group of related Austrian legal entities (including CONSULTATIO Steuerberatung GmbH & Co KG, CONSULTATIO Wirtschaftspruefung GmbH & Co KG, and CONSULTATIO Sustainability GmbH) under a partner-led ownership model with no external private equity or venture capital, and is a member of the Nexia International network covering 119 countries.

Consultatio monetizes primarily through time-and-engagement-based professional services fees, with recurring revenue components from ongoing tax advisory, outsourced bookkeeping, payroll processing, and IT security retainers, alongside project-based fees for audit, M&A advisory, due diligence, valuations, and restructuring. Pricing is customized quote-based with no public pricing tiers. The go-to-market is direct B2B consultation: clients engage via website or phone, complete a three-step intake (request, expert meeting, ongoing engagement), and are served by partners and qualified tax advisors and auditors. Two proprietary digital products complement the core services: ConsMyTax, a paperless bookkeeping platform built on the third-party Logisth.AI technology stack with iOS and Android apps for invoice scanning and document archiving, and ConsCloud, a free secure client portal for large-data transmission.

The firm's differentiation rests on over 50 years of continuous operation, the cross-border reach provided by its Nexia International membership, and a partner-level bench that combines licensed Austrian tax advisors, statutory auditors (Wirtschaftspruefer), certified valuation analysts, and ESG specialists. Regulatory standing includes Austrian Chamber of Public Accountants and Tax Advisors membership and ANKoe certification enabling public-sector tender participation, while GDPR compliance and Austria-located server infrastructure underpin client data handling. Marketing is driven by thought leadership via the bimonthly CONSULTATIO News magazine, the Steuernuss newsletter, and a referral-heavy client base reflected in long-tenured testimonials.
