What Rödl & Partner USA does

Rödl & Partner USA (legal name: Rödl Langford de Kock) is the US operation of Rödl & Partner, an international professional services firm headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany. The US business is operated as a private partnership with its national headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and approximately 250 employees distributed across 11 US offices spanning Atlanta, Birmingham, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cincinnati (Fort Wright, KY - via a VonLehman joint venture), Denver, Detroit-Southfield, Greenville, Houston, and New York.

The firm delivers integrated accounting, auditing, tax, and business consulting services tailored specifically for foreign-owned businesses operating in the US. Core service lines include assurance and attest services, business process outsourcing (with hosted cloud accounting software), tax compliance and consulting, transaction services, transfer pricing, global mobility, and market entry support. The underlying technology stack is third-party cloud accounting software embedded in BPO engagements rather than proprietary platforms.

Rödl USA's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting DACH-region (German, Austrian, Swiss) companies entering or expanding in the US, supported by dedicated US-Business Developer roles and referral channels through the German American Trade Association (GATA), the GPSA international alliance spanning 57 countries, and German American Chambers of Commerce. The firm monetizes through fee-for-service engagements across audit, tax, and advisory, with revenue mechanics disclosed only in generic terms (pricing is not publicly disclosed). The customer base includes 2,000+ closely held foreign-owned US businesses, segmented vertically with dedicated practices for Italian-owned (100+ clients), Austrian, and Dutch-owned companies alongside the primary DACH segment. Named enterprise engagements include transactional advisory work for Fr. Meyer's Sohn, Viessmann Generations Group, and Metalor Technologies.
