What barisco Risikomanagement GmbH does

barisco Risikomanagement GmbH is a Hamburg-based, privately held German consulting firm (GmbH) founded in 2002 that provides business controlling and risk management advisory to mid-sized, regionally active banks in Germany. The firm operates with a flat-hierarchy team of approximately four professionals — Managing Director Bernd Struve, two consultants (Norbert Schneider, Carmen Wollschläger), and an executive assistant (Susanne Jahn) — and is registered at the Amtsgericht Hamburg under HRB 124252.

The company's offering combines professional consulting with a certified software product. Its service portfolio spans four pillars: (1) strategy and planning process support, modeling and moderating bank-level planning as a specialist sparring partner; (2) risk steering and controlling process implementation as a subject-matter expert; (3) the MaRisk-Reporting-Lösung, a certified Gesamtbankbericht that maps the German MaRisk (Mindestanforderungen an das Risikomanagement) supervisory requirements into bank-specific outputs; and (4) practical training for controllers. The MaRisk software is the only productized asset; the remainder is delivered as bespoke advisory.

Commercially, barisco runs a direct, relationship-led go-to-market with no publicly disclosed pricing. Engagements are quote-based and structured as multi-year contracts, with the Managing Director personally involved in client relationships. The firm is supported by an open network of free, permanent, and strategic cooperation partners that provide specialty capacity for larger mandates. The customer base is concentrated in a single vertical — German Mittelstand regional banks — and the geographic footprint is domestic only.
