What GRAF TREUHAND GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfung Steuerberatung does

GRAF TREUHAND GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfung Steuerberatung is a privately held German audit and tax advisory firm (Wirtschaftsprüfungs- und Steuerberatungsgesellschaft) founded in 1998 and headquartered in Dresden. As of 2026 it operates from eight German locations (Dresden, Leipzig, München, Chemnitz, Berlin, Lübben, Ulm, Pulsnitz) with approximately 100 employees, including 13 Berufsträger, and reports having handled over 22,000 procedures since inception. The firm is a member of the SCHNEIDER + PARTNER Beratergruppe, an interdisciplinary advisory network that also encompasses an audit/tax entity, a law firm (MULANSKY + KOLLEGEN), a consulting firm (PURAKON), and a digital services unit (S+P DIGIBIZ).

Its service portfolio is structured around four client tracks: insolvency administrators (comprehensive case-support services — inventory, registers, financial accounting, forensic work, insolvency wage advance financing, fee calculation, payroll); companies in crisis (self-administration / protective shield proceedings, IDW S 6 restructuring concepts, IDW S 11 insolvency-grounds opinions, business planning); professional advisors and courts (expert opinions, cash audits, final account audits); and entrepreneurs and private individuals (tax advisory, bookkeeping, payroll, annual statements, business succession, liquidations). All services are delivered on a per-engagement basis under German professional fee schedules, with no software product, application, or public API offered by the firm itself.

Operations are owner-managed (Sven Limbach as managing shareholder since 2020, Mario Litta as Geschäftsführer and Managing Board member of SCHNEIDER + PARTNER Beratergruppe since 2004). Core technology is limited to DATEV for accounting and tax preparation plus group-level digital services via S+P DIGIBIZ; ISO 9001:2015 certification applies to applicable office locations. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; no funding rounds, acquisitions, or public-company activity are recorded.
