What Josef Popp & Partner Steuerberater Wirtschaftsprüfer Rechtsanwalt does

Josef Popp & Partner Steuerberater Wirtschaftsprüfer Rechtsanwalt is a mid-sized German professional services partnership founded in 1988 by Josef Popp in Furth bei Landshut, Bavaria. The firm operates from two locations — Furth bei Landshut (headquarters, Prälaten-Roderer-Straße 1) and Mainburg (Abensberger Straße 16, opened April 2016) — and employs over 45 professionals including five partners holding combined qualifications as Steuerberater, Wirtschaftsprüfer, and Rechtsanwalt. The firm is registered as a Partnerschaft (PR 34) at Amtsgericht Landshut and has no external investors or PE/VC funding.

The firm's core offering is an integrated tax, legal, and audit advisory stack delivered under one roof, with specialized practices in municipal advisory (Bavarian public sector), agricultural/forestry advisory (Landwirtschaftliche Buchstelle), and private client tax. Service lines include tax return preparation and planning, financial accounting and payroll, annual financial statements, statutory audit, contract drafting, representation before tax authorities and tax courts, business succession, and startup consulting. DATEV Unternehmen online is the primary digital workflow tool for bookkeeping, document management, and tax authority communication; no proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. The municipal advisory practice is the firm's recognized flagship, with 25+ years of specialization and senior partners lecturing at the Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung and Bayerische Verwaltungsschule.

Commercially, the firm is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct phone, email, in-person meetings, and website contact forms; pricing is quote-based across most services with payroll processing offered on a fixed per-run basis. Customer segments span private individuals, SMBs, mid-market companies, enterprises (e.g., OBTEGO AG), and government/municipal clients, with public sector flagged as the primary vertical. Go-to-market is supported by an Instagram presence, a sector-structured website with client testimonials, community event participation (Landshuter Firmenlauf), and active recruitment marketing. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
