Pust & Partner GbR - Wirtschaftsprüfer | Steuerberater

What Pust & Partner GbR - Wirtschaftsprüfer | Steuerberater does

Pust & Partner GbR is a Berlin-based civil-law partnership (GbR) of licensed tax advisors and auditors operating from a single office in Berlin-Tegel (Gorkistraße 9). Founded in 1993, the firm is led by four partners — Dipl.-Kfm. Christian Pust (who is dually qualified as Wirtschaftsprüfer und Steuerberater), Dipl.-Kfm. Carsten Hintz, B.A. Rainer Trauernicht, and Dipl.-Kfm. Matthias Ribbentrop, all registered Steuerberater and members of the Steuerberaterkammer Berlin, with Christian Pust additionally a member of the Wirtschaftsprüferkammer. The firm serves small and medium-sized companies, freelancers (doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers), private individuals, and GmbH managing directors in the Berlin market.

The firm's core offering is a unified bundle of regulated professional services: tax advisory (Steuerberatung) covering income and corporate tax returns; statutory and voluntary auditing (Wirtschaftsprüfung); financial accounting (Finanzbuchhaltung); payroll processing (Lohnabrechnung) with all related social-security filings; and preparation of annual financial statements and profit determinations for all legal forms. The technology layer is modest: a content website with an extensive tax-information section, a curated library of Erklärvideos, embedded third-party online calculators (minijob, net salary, Fahrtenbuch, Einkommensteuer) sourced from online-tools.biz, and social-share buttons for distribution. No proprietary platform, no AI/ML capabilities, and no API or productized software offering is disclosed.

The business model is fee-for-service under the German Steuerberatervergütungsverordnung (StbVV), the regulated fee schedule governing tax-advisor and auditor remuneration. Clients engage directly via phone, email, or an online contact form and are served through in-person consultation at the Tegel office plus remote advisory. Go-to-market is sales-led but supported by a content-marketing top-of-funnel (tax articles, explainer videos, calculators) and bottom-of-funnel email/contact-form conversion. The firm has no external funding, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no disclosed M&A or expansion activity; it operates exclusively in Germany with a single domestic office.
