What Dr. Schmidt und Partner does

Dr. Schmidt und Partner is an independent, owner-managed German tax and legal advisory partnership (Partnerschaftsgesellschaft) registered at Amtsgericht Koblenz (PR 29), with headquarters in Koblenz (Rizzastraße 44) and a branch office in Dresden (Am Weißiger Bach 99). Founded in 1947/1948, the firm has over 175 employees and serves healthcare professionals — primarily pharmacies (Apotheken), doctors and dentists (Ärzte/Zahnärzte), and allied healthcare practitioners (Heilberufe) — as well as Mittelstand companies, sole proprietors, GmbHs, and freelancers across Germany. The firm sustains a Germany-wide client base from only two physical locations, operating a sales-led, relationship-driven GTM motion anchored by fixed contact persons and long-term advisory engagements.

The firm's service portfolio spans tax advisory (compliance, planning, tax returns under the regulated StBVV fee regime), legal advisory (labor law, contract drafting, business succession, financial authority representation), and business consulting (economic analysis, business planning, investment consulting, valuation). A distinctive technology asset is SuPport, a proprietary web-based tax and accounting software developed in-house and operated through subsidiary SuPport GmbH, with an integrated QMS module (SuPport-QMS) and a client portal (Mandantenportal). The firm also operates Apothekenbörse, a marketplace for pharmacy buy/sell transactions, generating transaction-fee revenue on top of advisory mandates. Specialists hold credentials including Fachberater für Unternehmensnachfolge, Fachberater für das Gesundheitswesen, and Fachanwalt für Steuerrecht, and the firm maintains ISO 9001:2015 (DQS), DStV, REFA, Rakko, INQA Coach, and SBK-Ausbildungssiegel certifications covering 2023-2028.

Revenue is generated across professional-services fees (tax, legal, business consulting), recurring SuPport software licensing, and Apothekenbörse transaction fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows the StBVV for regulated services plus BGB §§ 612, 632 for non-regulated work. The firm has no external investors, no parent company, and no funding rounds; ownership rests with the listed Partners. Recent recognition includes TOP-Steuerberater 2026 (FOCUS-MONEY) and ExzAG Goldene Q 2026, alongside a steady cadence of partner promotions (notably Jasmin Johanna Herbst in 2026).
