Volbers Vehmeyer & Partner

What Volbers Vehmeyer & Partner does

Volbers Vehmeyer & Partner (VVP) is a private German professional services partnership (PartG mbB) headquartered in Lingen (Ems) that provides integrated tax advisory (Steuerberatung), auditing (Wirtschaftsprüfung), legal advisory (Rechtsberatung), business consulting (Wirtschaftliche Beratung), and accounting/payroll services (Rechnungswesen). Founded in 1972 by Bernd Volbers and joined by Ernst-August Vehmeyer as partner in 1993, the firm operates four physical offices across the Emsland and Grafschaft Bentheim region of Lower Saxony (Lingen, Meppen, Lathen, Neuenhaus) and employs more than 160 staff, including 23 licensed specialists. Service delivery is relationship-driven and face-to-face, supported by a digital client portal (vvp.one-click.de), the ADDISON accountancy platform, and PCVisit for remote support; marketing relies on regional reputation, content (website tax tips, Steuer-Info-Abende events), and a CleverReach-powered newsletter.

The firm serves three primary customer segments: German companies of all sizes requiring tax compliance, statutory audits, legal counsel, and business consulting; private individuals seeking tax return preparation and financial planning; and Dutch companies and individuals with cross-border German tax obligations, supported through a strategic cooperation with Dutch firm de Jong & Laan. Its go-to-market is sales-led and geographically anchored, with no public marketing spend and limited digital channel diversification beyond content marketing and social media.

VVP generates revenue through fee-based professional services billed monthly, quarterly, or per completed engagement, with fee structures governed by German professional regulations (Steuerberatungsgebührenverordnung and BRAGO). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per engagement scope and complexity. The firm is independently owned by its partners — there is no external investment, parent company, or public listing.
