What MauerGroup does

MauerGroup is a privately held professional services consulting firm headquartered in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, with regional offices in Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. Founded by Konstantin Mauer — a financial-industry veteran since 1985 with an Executive MBA, TACIS expert credentials, and Board membership in the Rostov Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry — the firm delivers nine integrated service lines: strategic and investment consulting, legal assistance, project assistance, tax and accounting consulting, management consulting, international services for Russian clients, accounting outsourcing, audit, and IT consulting (covering risk management systems, electronic document workflow, and internal control automation).

The firm serves two primary client cohorts: foreign companies seeking to enter or expand within the Russian market, and Russian industrial and manufacturing companies pursuing investment structuring, corporate development, and operational optimization. Notable enterprise clients include IKEA, Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, Leroy Merlin, Castorama, Ball Packaging Europe, REWE Group, TELE 2, Louis Dreyfus Commodities, Efes-Pilsener, SGL Carbon, Merinos Hali, Gloria Jeans Corporation, and SELGROS Cash & Carry. Revenue is generated through project-based engagements, retainer arrangements, and hourly billing typical of professional services, with no publicly disclosed pricing.

MauerGroup differentiates through membership in the NEXIA International network, enabling cross-border coordination and international credibility; deep regional expertise in the Southern Federal District; and relationships with major Russian and international financial institutions including Raiffeisenbank, VTB, Vnesheconombank, Bank of Moscow, Sberbank, and Commerzbank. The firm holds ISO 9001:2008 certification and EBRD BAS Small Business Support Program accreditation (2014), and in March 2023 formed HSCI Consulting LLC as a joint venture with Human Stem Cells Institute, extending its footprint into the biotech vertical. The firm employs 51-100 staff and does not publicly disclose revenue.

It is the most significant scaled Russian competitor following the departure of Big-4 international affiliations.
• KEPT: KEPT (formerly KPMG Russia) is a major Russian audit and consulting firm offering a similar menu of management consulting, tax, audit, and deal-advisory services to large enterprises. It is a direct competitor to MauerGroup in the Russian mid-market and enterprise segments.
