UHY Deutschland AG

What UHY Deutschland AG does

UHY Deutschland AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft is a Berlin-headquartered, German private stock corporation (AG) operating as a joint venture of established audit and tax advisory partnerships. Founded in 1946 with its oldest office in Bremen, the firm has grown to approximately 250 employees across seven German offices (Berlin, Bremen, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Köln, München, Oldenburg), including roughly 30 Wirtschaftsprüfer, 30 Steuerberater, and 30 Rechtsanwälte. It is ranked among the TOP 25 audit and tax advisory firms in Germany and is a founding member of UHY International, giving it reciprocal access to 300+ member offices in 100+ countries.

The firm delivers six integrated service lines: Wirtschaftsprüfung (audit of annual and consolidated financial statements under HGB/IFRS), Steuerdeklarationen (tax declaration services), Steuerliche Gestaltungsberatung (strategic tax planning), Internes Rechnungswesen (internal accounting and management reporting), Externes Rechnungswesen (external bookkeeping and financial reporting), and Managementberatung (financial/risk management, sustainability, and organizational consulting). Service delivery relies on standard professional-services tooling such as DATEV accounting software, automated audit tools, and digital document management rather than proprietary technology platforms.

The go-to-market is a direct, relationship-driven professional services model with no channel partners, resellers, or self-serve motion. Client acquisition is anchored in the firm's long-standing Mittelstand reputation, a free initial consultation ("kostenloses Kennenlerngespräch"), seven physical office locations, and digital presence (website, LinkedIn, thought-leadership publications such as a Transfer Pricing Guide, and client events). The primary customer base is national and international mid-sized companies (Mittelstand), with additional segment emphasis on startups, automotive, healthcare/medtech, software/IT, non-profits, and agriculture/forestry. Pricing follows standard professional-services conventions (hourly, fixed fee, or retainer) and is not publicly disclosed.
