Others

• Alliott Group: International alliance of independent accounting and law firms spanning ~65 countries and ~150 member firms. Not a peer in the competitive sense, but the membership network through which Scholz accesses cross-border capabilities and referrals.
• Datev eG: German cooperative software provider and IT services company for tax advisors, auditors, and accountants. Not a direct competitor but the central technology and certification partner powering Scholz's digital workflows and the source of its 'Digital Firm of the Year' recognition.
