What Rödl & Partner Denmark does

Rödl & Partner Denmark operates as Rödl Audit Godkendt Revisionsaktieselskab, a Danish-approved public limited company (aktieselskab) headquartered at Store Kongensgade 40H in central Copenhagen, with a team of 22-24 staff. The firm delivers four core professional service lines: statutory and voluntary audit/revision, tax advisory (skatterådgivning) covering compliance, transaction tax, VAT, international tax planning, and transfer pricing, business process outsourcing (BPO) including bookkeeping, monthly reporting, VAT filings, and digital post administration, and full-cycle payroll administration including pensions and maternity leave. Services are delivered by partner-led teams with cross-functional coordination across audit, tax, and finance specialists, supported by an HR-coordinator and compliance function.

The firm's customer base centers on Danish and German family-owned businesses and SMEs, with a secondary segment of international and multinational companies requiring coordinated multi-jurisdiction reporting. It is the Danish node of the global Rödl & Partner network, founded in Nuremberg, Germany in 1977 by Dr. Bernd Rödl and now spanning 117 offices across 50 countries with approximately 6,000 employees and annual revenue exceeding EUR 200 million since 2008. Rödl Audit Denmark opened its Copenhagen office in 2017 and is led by Managing Partner Gitte Henckel, a State-Authorized Public Accountant since 2007.

Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements billed annually, with fees determined by client size, complexity, and scope. Distribution is direct, via partner-led client engagement and cross-border coordination across the global office network, supplemented by GPSA (German Professional Services Alliance) coverage in non-owned jurisdictions. The firm markets through content-driven channels including a monthly newsletter, downloadable guides and rate information, and thought leadership on Danish tax and accounting developments. No AI, proprietary technology platform, or productized software is disclosed; the firm operates as a traditional relationship-led professional services practice.
