LBD Landw. Buchführungsdienst GmbH

What LBD Landw. Buchführungsdienst GmbH does

LBD Landw. Buchführungsdienst GmbH is a specialized agricultural accounting and tax advisory firm headquartered in Pfarrkirchen, Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1968 as the bookkeeping service of the Bavarian Young Farmers Association (Bayerische Jungbauernschaft e.V.) and operating as a privately-held GmbH, the firm delivers bookkeeping, tax advisory, financial and business consulting, business formation, succession planning, and business analysis services to agricultural operations across Bavaria. It functions as the agricultural vertical within the BBJ-Unternehmensgruppe, alongside sister companies BERATA-GmbH (commercial tax advisory) and RWB Revisions- und Wirtschaftsberatungs-GmbH (audit and business consulting), giving the group access to 47 locations across Germany.

The company serves a broad but vertically-narrow customer base spanning crop production, livestock, renewable energy (biogas and photovoltaics), specialty crops (hops, asparagus, potatoes, strawberries), forestry, viticulture in the Franconia region, agricultural machinery services, and agritourism. Service delivery combines on-site client visits at 35+ Bavarian locations with a digital channel via the company website, contact form, and downloadable templates. The technology stack is built entirely on third-party platforms — Adnova Plus for digital bookkeeping, DATEV Unternehmen online for cloud-based accounting, DocuSign for electronic signatures compliant with eIDAS, and 'Ersetzendes Scannen' for replacement document scanning — with no proprietary software assets disclosed.

The revenue model is professional services, fee-based, and quote-per-client with no publicly disclosed pricing. Marketing and client acquisition rely on the company website, Facebook, Instagram (including cooperative sweepstakes with the Jungbauernschaft Niederbayern), downloadable educational templates, and trade fair presence at events such as the Rottalschau. The company holds no patents, has disclosed no institutional investment, and reports no M&A or restructuring activity.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves1 record

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Bayerischer Bauernverband Steuerberatung: Tax and business advisory arm of the Bavarian Farmers' Association, serving the same SMB agricultural segment with overlapping bookkeeping, tax and succession services across Bavaria — the closest head-to-head comparable to LBD.
• Westfälisch-Lippischer Landwirtschaftsverband Steuerberatung: Tax and accounting services for member farmers in North Rhine-Westphalia — directly comparable vertical (agriculture) and horizontal (bookkeeping/tax/succession) offering to LBD.
• Landvolk Niedersachsen Steuerberatung: Tax advisory arm of the Lower Saxony farmers' association providing agricultural bookkeeping, tax returns and succession planning — the same niche model as LBD but serving a different German region.

Others

• DATEV eG: Leading German cooperative providing tax-advisor and accounting software (DATEV Unternehmen online); LBD's core technology backbone and ecosystem partner rather than direct competitor.
• Genossenschaftsverband Bayern (GVB): Bavarian cooperative audit and advisory association serving member cooperatives and agricultural enterprises with audit, tax and consulting services — adjacent to LBD's niche with overlap in agricultural and SME clients.

Broad incumbents

• ETL AG: One of Germany's largest tax-consulting and accounting networks with thousands of partner offices; serves SMEs broadly, including agriculture, but is not vertically specialized like LBD.
• Agravis Raiffeisen AG: Major German agricultural cooperative group providing inputs, livestock, energy and farm-management services — comparable end customer (SMB farms) but very different business model from LBD's advisory services.
• BayWa AG: Munich-listed agricultural services and trading conglomerate offering farm inputs, digital tools and services — an indirect competitor in the ag-services space but vastly broader than LBD's advisory focus.
