Spek & Kämpf Steuerberater Rechtsanwälte GmbH

What Spek & Kämpf Steuerberater Rechtsanwälte GmbH does

Spek & Kämpf Steuerberater Rechtsanwälte GmbH is a privately held German professional services firm headquartered at Uhlandstraße 7/8 in Berlin Charlottenburg, providing integrated tax advisory (Steuerberatung) and legal advisory (Rechtsberatung) services alongside financial accounting (Rechnungswesen). The firm was co-founded by Friedrich Spek and Uwe Kämpf, both lawyers and tax advisors with over 25 years of experience, and today operates with four managing partners and approximately 30 qualified employees. Its client base is concentrated in two segments: reputable real estate companies, private individuals and limited-tax-liability persons holding real estate assets in Germany, and family businesses / Mittelstand companies across trade, handcraft, high-tech, and medical practices. Within real estate, the firm maintains deeper specialization in closed real estate funds (Geschlossene Immobilienfonds) and apartment ownership models (ETW-Modelle), as well as inheritance and gift tax planning for property holders.

The firm's service delivery is built on DATEV accounting software — including DATEV Kanzlei-Rechnungswesen and DATEV Bilanzbericht — under which it holds the 'digitale Kanzlei' (digital firm) certification, indicating state-of-the-art digital workflows for financial accounting, payroll processing, and tax reporting. The website uses Google Analytics 4 for web analytics and Google Maps for location display. The firm has expressed openness to AI-supported (KI-gestützte) accounting tools, inviting employees to work with and develop digital work processes, though no proprietary AI products or research are disclosed. ERGO professional liability insurance extends coverage across the EU, Turkey, and former Soviet states.

The business model is professional services fee-based and quote-negotiated, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated through three principal streams: tax advisory, legal advisory, and accounting services, all delivered directly by partners and qualified staff. The go-to-market is relationship-led and partner-driven, supported by a website, LinkedIn, and Instagram presence used primarily for top-of-funnel visibility. The firm is independently owned by its partners, registered as a GmbH in the commercial register of AG Charlottenburg (HRB 137449 B), and recognized as an 'Exzellenter Arbeitgeber 2024' by the Steuerberaterverband Berlin-Brandenburg.
