What rwb does

RWB Revisions- und Wirtschaftsberatungs-GmbH is a German professional services firm headquartered in Landshut, Bavaria, founded in 1979. The company delivers statutory and voluntary auditing (Wirtschaftsprüfung), business consulting (Unternehmensberatung), transaction advisory, company valuation, and agricultural expert reports, with a specialized THG-Bilanz service that qualifies farm clients for a 0.25% interest discount on Rentenbank subsidized loan programs. It operates from four regional offices — Landshut, Augsburg, Cottbus, and Penig — and is part of the BBJ-Unternehmensgruppe network, which enables cross-disciplinary delivery combining auditing, tax advisory, legal advisory, and business consulting from a single provider. The firm is led by two managing directors, Dipl.-Kfm. Thomas Haupt (WP, StB) based in Penig and Dipl.-Ing. agr. (Univ.) Dr. Stefan Kilian (WP, StB) based in Landshut, both licensed Wirtschaftsprüfer and Steuerberater registered with the Wirtschaftsprüferkammer.

RWB's primary customer segments are German Mittelständler (mid-sized companies) and Einzelunternehmer (sole proprietors) across five verticals: trade, services, industry, crafts, and agriculture. The agricultural sector is a distinct specialty, supported by dedicated valuation expertise and the THG-Bilanz offering tied to sustainable financing incentives. Client relationships are described as multi-generational, with acquisition driven primarily by regional reputation, personal referrals, and cross-referrals within the BBJ-Unternehmensgruppe rather than active outbound sales or digital marketing.

The firm's business model is project-based professional services delivery with recurring statutory audit engagements forming the revenue backbone. Audit work is performed on a digital audit platform with data analytics capabilities replacing traditional paper-based methods. Distribution is purely direct — face-to-face consulting through regional offices — with no intermediary channel partners, marketplaces, or disclosed pricing model. The firm maintains professional liability insurance with R+V Allgemeine Versicherung AG and is subject to WPO professional regulations.

Others

• DATEV eG: German cooperative providing tax-advisor and auditor software, data, and digital workflow infrastructure. Relevant as an infrastructure provider that RWB's digital audit platform interacts with, and as a competitor-adjacent force shaping the German Mittelständler audit technology stack.
• Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank: German federal development bank for agriculture and rural areas, whose subsidized loan programs are the reference for RWB's differentiated THG-Bilanz interest discount service. Strategic ecosystem partner for RWB's agricultural audit and sustainability practice.

Broad incumbents

• KPMG Germany (Mittelstand): Big 4 audit firm with a dedicated German Mittelstand practice targeting mid-sized German companies. Competes with RWB for the same Mittelständler audit mandates but offers significantly more geographic and service breadth.
• Baker Tilly Germany (Baker Tilly Roelfs): Top-10 German audit and advisory network with full-service audit, tax, and consulting capabilities for Mittelständler. Comparable to RWB in target segment and core service mix, but operates at national scale with much larger headcount.
• HLB Germany (Husmann, Lindenau, Böhm): Germany arm of the HLB international audit network, providing audit, tax, and advisory services to Mittelständler and family businesses. Comparable positioning to RWB but with broader network reach and international affiliations.

Regional players

• Genossenschaftsverband Bayern (GVB): Bavarian cooperative and SME audit association providing Wirtschaftsprüfung and advisory services to cooperatives and small/mid-sized businesses in Bavaria. Comparable to RWB in regional focus and Mittelständler audit practice, with a specific sector mandate.

Direct peers

• Ebner Stolz: German mid-market audit and advisory firm (Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft) serving Mittelständler across multiple regions. Directly comparable to RWB in offering statutory audits, tax, legal, and consulting services to the same Mittelständler segment, though at significantly larger scale.
• RWT Group (RWT Reutlingen Wirtschaftstreuhand): Regional German audit and advisory firm with offices in southern Germany, serving mid-sized companies with audit, tax, and consulting services. Highly comparable to RWB in service portfolio, Mittelständler focus, and regional German footprint.
• PKF Fasselt: Mid-sized German audit and advisory firm (Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft) serving Mittelständler with multidisciplinary services. Closely comparable to RWB in target market, service mix, and mid-market positioning.
• dhpg (Donat, Hommrich, Pohlmann, Grund): Mid-sized German audit and consulting firm with strong Mittelständler focus across multiple German offices. Directly comparable to RWB in service portfolio (audit, tax, consulting) and in serving regional mid-market clients.
